Today, Hong Kong makes stupid triad & police movies... Half of people walk out the movie theaters . They didn't watch it full.

Fruit chen❤❤❤❤❤❤

I watched any Martial arts or Triads movie in the 80s. After three decades I got tired of watching the same actors and location. Hong Kong has no snow capped mountains, pristine beaches, dunes, tropical forests. Only dense concrete jungles. Hence, all movies are about Triads or ghosts in the city. HK movies have terrible acting. It was all about guns and knives. Today you will have to put a gun on my head to make me watch a HK movie. One more Donnie Yen movie and I will puke all over the floor.

back in the 90s Hong Kong martial arts films are very much advertised on Televisions, regardless of its tone or language, they were that huge at the time.

Nah bro warriors of the future is TRAAAASH LOL, but the main character of the movie(Louis Koo) has produced one of my favorite animated movies,Mitchell’s vs the machines on Netflix.

マニアックで丁寧な解説なのだが所々翻訳の不備があってもったいない（ドラゴン怒りの鉄拳が「怒りの拳」になってる等）。 キン・フーやジョン・ウーの映画タイトルくらい英語ではなく原題や日本公開タイトルに直して欲しいです。

I know it is not in the Martial Arts genre , but when I saw Derek Tsang's movie 'Better Days' starring Zhou Dongu, it was one of the best things I'd seen in years, and the most moved I was since Wong Kar Wai in the early 90s. So I know that the Island is still packing some awesome movie-making.Sure I wish really do Chow makes a new movie every year, but I know that's never going to happen , and Bruce Lee is still the only person (IMHO) to match Humphrey Bogart for on-screen charisma, but maybe the HK movies could be in different style. I hope it will rise again, and soon.

Data is off, thumbnail shows infernal affairs which is good 2000s movie and not from 90s. There also WKW 2046 in 2004, so in 2000s still good movies being produced that have an international audience in the 2000s. This is just copy paste data from people who pushing Hong Kong return to China being the direct issue. Mostly Action stars and stuntmen getting older, more safety concern then in the past doing crazy stunts. Jackie Chan was already in his 40s by 2002 , while lack of young new talents are coming out of all the stunt teams and large gradual decline of action movies.

1994 was the last good year, it went downhill very fast after that and will never come back. Sad.

One point you did not bring up is MMA. ;Wth the rise of MMA, we all now see Kung Fu fighting as fake once we realized all Kung Fu fighters got their asses kicked in the MMA ring. Another point you did not bring up is that Korean movies and soap operas were getting better, and now we have another source for our Asian media fix.

Too greedy for money, made too many crap movies.

Anything that is touched by Communism turns to shit.

Jackie Chan is a legend over there in-fact his Police Story Movie franchise is a big hit in Hong Kong.

Pretty good breakdown. Thanks for this! Good history lesson about HK film.

Just take a look at the hundreds of video content from China on Netflix and other streaming services, and you'll see that the issue is the lack of execution on good storytelling. Of course, I get that theme censorship is a huge contribution to the lack of innovation, but I just feel like the industry in broader China is too closely controlled by a small group of people that needs to risk it on some independent filmmakers to spice things up.

Stephen Chow literally carried HK cinema along with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan

After the death of Bruce Lee, I can say that really Hong Kong cinema started to disappear in the United States. And this is from a person who lives in the San Francisco Bay area. I hed heard of Jackiee Chan, and he even acted in a few American films, but the fact was we could not get his films here in the USA. I saw that one moive, can't think of the title, but it has the famous bus scene and where he goes down that chandalier. I saw that on a poor VHS tape. Only in the 90's was there a chance to see these films.

I still think HK movies have better VFX, actors, story and overall more quality than the mainland crap.

No one in the west would admit Hong Kongs influence

You missed out an important issues: HK productions used to be run by very limited staffs, often the same person had to be producer, director and editor at the same time. This gave them complete creative freedom. Today's film industries put too much concerns on what audience want, there by telling the director how to shoot. Look at how Hollywood backfired from trying to play diversity.

Fantastic analysis. I would like you to make a video about Indian cinema.

Because they're no longer opening to the Hong Kong market.

Hong Kong movies nowadays don't feel like it was back in the 90s, I could say the same for TVB dramas.

Laughable to blame 1997 handover which had no relevance to the downfall. Starting in the 90s the rampant and organized bootleg vcd/DVD industry completely decimated box office revenues. I'm not even going to talk about the triad involvement forcing movies to be made as cheaply and quickly as possible to maximum profits. How good can a film be when it's made end to end in less than 10 days.

Golden Harvest studios ❤❤❤ I love Hong Kong cinema upto date

The Chinese handover didn't help either

the biggest problem of hk cinema is that they over rely on sensationalism. All the logic and plausibility does not really matters, this makes their audiences becoming more and more irrational and sometimes insane. then when things turn south, they blame china. dude, china is just a market
