Hong Kong has produced some great movies over the years. Some of the greatest stars of these movies are now working in American films and are being exposed to a whole new audience. Where does somebody start? Well, where did YOU start? I want to know.
My first exposure to Hong Kong movies was through Jackie Chan movies and then when I saw the KILLER, well that was the end of that. 10 years later and my interest has never wavered.
I would like if you could tell me the very first movie that launched your interest in HK Cinema. I am particularly interested in those who may have first seen a Hollywood film directed by or starring HK talent. My intent is to make a list of films based on these movies that will help people just getting into HK Cinema.
The list will be designed so that people will appreciate the movie by the time they get too it on the list.
While I love the movie DRUNKEN MASTER, I wouldn't reccamend it to somebody who only saw CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Actually, DRUNKEN MASTER II would be a good bridge between the two. This is sort of how the list would work. Movie would also be linked by stars and genre.
All ideas are welcome!
