Movies from Hong Kong are a minority interest, no doubt about it.
However, those who know Hong Kong movies have come to realise there is more than meets the eye: A true joy of filmmaking, a genuine enthusiasm for things cinematic, one that is notably absent in many contemporary US mainstream movies.
At its best, Hong Kong film towards the end of the 20th century is wildly cinematic, full of robust energy and vivid imagination.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | American Masochism and Hong Kong Action Films
Hong Kong gangster movies don't work for everyone, and if you think the idea of "beautiful violence" seems like an oxymoron, then they probably aren't for you.
Hong Kong action films, which specialize in precisely this kind of juxtaposition of corny romantic melodrama with stylized and hyperbolic violence, have one of the biggest cult followings for films made outside of the American mainstream.
Two men whose names are practically synonymous with the success of Hong Kong gangster films are the director/actor team of John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat, who have been making films together for nearly ten years.

 Duel to the Death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The simple plot would normally be a refreshing change from the cluttered ones these types of films usually employ, but the script relies too much on cliches (some lines sound straight off a fortune cookie) and weak plot twists to keep the viewer too involved.
Hong Kong films (especially action ones) are not normally known for having long epilogues, but Duel to the Death ends so abruptly after the climatic duel -- literally seconds after the fatal blow -- that there felt like there was little resolution at all to the story or characters.
These sequences make this a worthy viewing for Hong Kong action junkies, and a good introduction to the best director you may have never heard of.

In this gently nostalgic valentine to Hong Kong cinema, Fa (Shawn Yu) and Ming (Wang You-nam) are two movie-mad teenagers who sell sugar-cane sticks from a stall outside a movie theater.
Like Giuseppe Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso," "Just One Look," which opens today at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater in the East Village, is a tribute to the formative power of cinema, a coming-of-age film that nimbly interweaves the adolescent hero's struggles with clips from the movies that shape his romanticized notions of life.
These excerpts will be more evocative for those familiar with Hong Kong cinema of the 1970's, but the story itself should resonate with anyone who's been through the painful apprenticeship of learning the difference between life and the movies.

 Amazon.com: Hollywood East: Hong Kong Movies and the People Who Made Them: Books: Stefan Hammond   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The book is organized in the following manner: 1) an overview of Hong Kong, the city, where to purchase movies and memorabilia, where to see movies, and a funny aside of the top ten Hong Kong imagined dangers followed up by the top ten real dangers.
Although not as wide-ranging (and eye-opening?) as "the essential guide to Hong Kong's mind-bending films" that was this author and Mike Wilkins' earlier book, "Hollywood East" is still pretty enjoyable and informative reading.
Hammond's words about Hong Kong cinema rings true about his books: I.e., that they allow one "to delve into an alternative cinematic universe, to discover and savor a richness unsuspected" and "provide conversion experiences" (2000:xiii).
