		Predictably, queer images in Hong Kong's "category 3" films tend towards lesbian erotica aimed at the fantasies of a heterosexual male audience, as in the Sex and Zen series (1991-1996), the Erotic Ghost Story series (1990-1992), the Raped by an Angel series (1993-2000), or Ho Shu Pau's lesbian thriller The Love that is Wrong (1993).
		While Hong Kong's film industry is not as strong as it was before the handover, and while production of films overall has lessened considerably, the openness of queer themes in Hong Kong cinema is apparently here to stay.
		While filmmakers' fears of what would follow 1997 were justified, the production of queer films continued according to the "one country, two systems" policy, whereby the mainland government would not interfere with Hong Kong's social fabric until 2047.

		Several Hong Kong films such as Wong Kar Wei's In the Mood For Love and Happy Together have been nominated and have even won in the prestigious Cannes film festival in France.
		Most of these stars now rarely star in or direct movies in Hong Kong; in fact, some of them have even gone so far as to indicate that they will never work in their native country again.
		While some of the more prominent Asians in the American film industry such as John Woo reason that the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is flooded with worthless movies and is no longer providing the environment for them, this is purely an excuse.

	The Illuminated Lantern: Taoist Priests and Hopping Vampires
		Young female ghosts are the most common of all supernatural features of Hong Kong movies, appearing in scores of films.
		Instead the colors may best describe their duties: 'Black' being synonymous with 'death.' In general, the Taoist priests called upon in Hong Kong movies would best fall into the 'Black-head' category.
		Both kinds of priests are also referred to as 'fire-dwelling,' in that they live among the people of the village and dispense advice.

		In 1993, Mandarin Films started to operate in Singapore, partly because of the lucrative tax-break which the Singapore government offered to film joint-ventures, and partly due to the politico-economic uncertainty in Hong Kong in the run-up to the imminent handover of the territory to China in 1997.
		Yet these films distinctly featured outlooks and sensibilities more attuned to the Hong Kong way of life, even though some were shot in Singapore.
		Our category, “Khoo’s early films,” refers to the short and feature films which Khoo produced and directed between 1990 and 1997, as distinct from Khoo’s more recent works in that his involvement in them is that of co-producer only.

		Cheung found it "very peaceful, very comfortable-not like Hong Kong." But she didn't finish her studies.
		Her celebrity has been clouded by reports alleging that her father is an important associate of one of the major Hong Kong Triads.
		She was the first actor in the 18-year history of that category to be nominated for two, very different roles: as Polaris' demure nurse, who is visited and romanced by the ghost of a young blind man she secretly loved, and as a mouthy B-girl in Stephen Chow's King of Comedy.

	The Last Blood DVD dir.: Wong Jing cast: Alan Tam Wing Lun, Andy Lau Tak-Wah, Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Leung Ka-Yan, May Lo Mei Mei
		The theatrical trailer is, as is usual for films on Hong Kong labels, in unsubtitled Chinese - but, as is equally usual, it doesn't really matter, and is a good introduction to some of the more spectacular moments.
		Films rated Category II may contain mild to strong violence, nudity that is usually not sexually oriented, explicit language and adult situations.
		The film is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio.

	DVD Times - Discovering Korean Cinema: Drama
		Ironically, it is one of few South Korean films to receive international distribution, with theatrical showings in the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong and the USA amongst others.
		Drama is often used as a catchall term for films that do not easily fit into any more specific category, encompassing an arguably more wide-ranging variety of films than any other genre, often including the most innovative and interesting films purely because they are otherwise difficult to pigeonhole.

	Brattle Theatre Film Resources: Swordswomen: Brigitte Lin & Michelle Yeoh
		And Brigitte Lin has been in many defining films from Hong Kong, not the least of which is her pivoltal role in Wong Kar-Wai's CHUNGKING EXPRESS.
		Gorgeously shot and well-choreographed this is one of the favorite Lin films for Hong Kong fans.
		Of course, Michelle Yeoh rocketed to fame last year with the release of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (showing on Thanksgiving), but her long career in Hong Kong includes such highlights as WING CHUN, HEROIC TRIO and SUPERCOP (with Jackie Chan!).

	Chingmy Yau
		Yau became one of the queens of Category III (Hong Kong's version of the NC-17 rating, given to movies with high doses of sex and/or violence) films, through her roles in movies such as the deliciously sleazy Naked Killer (1992).
		Yau provided excellent comic relief (and got back a bit at the hounding Hong Kong press) as well as providing a nice bit of "eye candy" by portraying an annoying tabloid TV reporter in High Risk (1995).
		But it seems as if Yau is following the lead of many other Hong Kong actresses who shot to fame and left just as quickly.

	Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2002-349
		According to the intervener, the fact that the applicant, through its affiliates, currently operates as a distributor of Chinese-language movies in Canada, with at least 80% of the distribution market share for movies from Hong Kong, also indicates that the proposed service would be predominately Chinese-language.
		Fairchild submitted that the applicant's current proposal is essentially identical to its earlier application for a Category 2 specialty television service to broadcast movies in Cantonese and Mandarin (the Chinese languages) that was denied in Applications for licences for Category 1 and Category 2 specialty television services — Denied, Decision CRTC 2000-739, 24 November 2000.
		In response, the applicant stated that it intended to offer a niche service that would focus on movie programming and that at least 90% of the programming would be drawn from program subcategories 7c (Specials, mini-series, and made-for-TV feature films) and 7d (Theatrical feature films aired on television).

	farmer-glitch: Karen MOK Man-Wai (è«æ—è”) and the Canto Pap rap ...
		Viva Erotica (1996, co-starring Leslie Chung and Shu Qi) - One of the first mainstream movies tailored for 'Category III' (adults only) release in Hong Kong, this opens with a wildly orgasmic sex scene between Leslie Cheung and Karen Mok and ends with the cheering sight of an entire film crew working in the nude.
		Years and years pass - and periodically there appear further images of our Karen around Hong Kong - by this time I am fully aware who she is - she is actually a very successful actress as well as canto-crooner.
		Films of note in my books and well worth hunting out should you feel that way inclined:

	Anthony Wong Chau-Sang
		In 2003, Wong he was a triple nominee in the Best Supporting Actor category for the films Princess D, Just One Look and Infernal Affairs, and took home the award for the last film.
		Wong won his first Best Actor Hong Kong film award for that performance.
		Besides being an award-winning film actor, Anthony Wong has acted in more than 100 films and TV dramas, directed two films, and still has time to release the occasional punk music CD.

	SHE: Bound to Thrill
		This sexual form has turned up in the strangest places, from goofy comedies to Kareoke discs to Category 3 thrillers (for the novice Hong Kong film buff, the Category 3 film, hereafter referred to as simply Cat 3, are those films which garner an NC-17 equivalent and can show softcore sex and/or extreme violence).
		This enclave of cinema has been, and would have remained, a world leader in erotic free speech, both exploring and exploiting the pantheon of eroticism and all of the many facets of fetishism.
		Ambiguity now reins where it never even had a foot hold before and film makers are in a frenzied scramble to insure their product is trimmed prim and proper as not to clash with homogenized moral standards.

	Running On Empty DVD dir.: Hoh Cheuk Wing cast: Lam Man Lung, Kong Wa, Ng Suet Man, Terrence Fok Shui Wa, Gam Sap Yee, Hung San Nam
		Films rated Category IIB contain large amounts of violence and/or nudity and sexual situations in addition to possible explicit language and adult situations.
		Based on a true story, this film is about one of the most shocking robberies in Hong Kong history.
		The film is shot on the basis of description by one of the robbers.

	11th Annual Hong Kong Film Critics' Society Awards
		Each of the films had unique qualities that the Society admired but, in the end, it came down to a vote between MCDULL, PRINCE DE LA BUN and ONE NITE IN MONGKOK.
		Finalists in the voting for the Best Film category were: MCDULL, PRINCE DE LA BUN, ONE NITE IN MONGKOK, DUMPLINGS: THREE...
		The buildup of his film culminating in the scene where Alex Fong Chung-Shun's character watches helplessly as a tragedy occurs shows Yee's mature understanding of humanity.

	Hero / Ying Xiong - MonkeyPeaches
		In fact, Harvey’s common practice of manipulating Hong Kong films actually scared the fans away from the theaters.
		After Hero was nominated for best foreign language film of 2002 Oscar, why he gave it absolute no support, which greatly contributed the film’s defeat in the category.
		It seams that his studio was fully committed to get the film a full Oscar push, in 2003 not 2002, and the film’s producers were responsible for ruining the plan.

	Chow Yun-Fat
		Chow felt he had accomplished every thing he could in Hong Kong cinema, and that his roles were becoming limited to those in which he played the suited cop/killer.
		Chow made his first movie in 1976—a Category III flick titled Massage Girls—but his film career got off to a shaky start as it was difficult to find roles which suited him.
		After filming Peace Hotel (1995), Chow took a two-year break from films to learn English, whereupon he moved to America to try his hand at American film stardom.

	Anna Magdalena
		Quite simply put, this is one of the most moving and beautifully crafted films to come out of Hong Kong.
		However, although Anna Magdalena fits into this category, it is unlikely that the casual viewer would have seen anything like this.
		The structure of the film is built around Bach's Anna Magdalena suite with the narrative being broken into four 'movements' : 1/ Takeshi Kaneshiro's introduction 2/ Aaron Kwok's effect on his life 3/ Kelly Chen's effect on their lives 4/ Kaneshiro's literary vision of love.

	Chopping List - D Titles
		The Hong Kong laserdisc is category III but still cut.
		This was at a time when scrutiny of vigilante themed films was at an all time high (yep, they all came under the watchful eye of both the censor and community groups).
		The original version of the film was refused classification; although it was clearly cut by more than the minute that the OFLC have suggested has been removed from the film.

	Naked Killer (Chiklo gouyeung)
		Chingmy Yau and Carrie Ng both get around having to expose any skin (very few big female stars in Hong Kong do nudity in a Category III film—it changes their standing in the film community).
		I can safely tell you that Clarence Fok’s (who directed the very cool film The Iceman Cometh) 1992 film Naked Killer is one of the most entertaining sleaze/exploitation films I’ve ever seen.
		The two become fast friends, but it’s not meant to be—Kitty kills her father’s murderer (and all of his associates as well) and draws the attention of Sister Cindy (Madoka Sugawara), a professional hitwoman who takes her in, gives her a new identity, and trains her to be an assassin.

		Woo's films began the genre known as 'heroic bloodshed,' a term first used, according to Logan, by Rick Baker and his staff as a film category in the British Hong Kong fanzine Eastern Heroes.
		With A Better Tomorrow Woo reinvented the gangster film and was commercially successful.
