Okay, another "On Fire" on the list. We placed City on Fire at 60th and mentioned that Chow Yun-fat won Best Actor award out of the 3 nominations he got alone which was his back-to-back Best Actor award too.
But this "On Fire" which ranked higher in our list due to its ruthless quality also was one of those three films that brought Chow Yun-fat Best Actor award nomination. Are we going see the other one in our list too?

34. Drunken Master II (1994)
Dir.: Lau Kar-leung
Starring Jackie Chan, Ti Lung, Anita Mui, Felix Wong
An unrelated sequel to Drunken Master (1978) and Jackie Chan's return to traditional martial arts film after Dragon Lord (1982) helmed by Lau Kar-leung, arguably the best person to make traditional martial arts films. Jackie Chan in this film played a role out of his age, his father played by Ti Lung was only 8 years older than Jackie Chan and his stepmother Anita Mui was 9 years younger hence Jackie Chan's performance both physical and emotional were praised by the fans and same as the inhumane final fight.
Highlight: Jackie Chan vs Ken Lo
33. Fist of Fury (1972)
Dir.: Lo Wei
Starring Bruce Lee, Nora Miao, Riki Hashimoto, Tien Feng
Nobody loves Lo Wei but we had to rank a film he made this high, thanks to Bruce Lee who played the protagonist and choreographed the fight scenes. The film touched on many sensitive issues and went on becoming a symbol of patriotic films.
Highlight: Bruce Lee vs Japanese Students
.jpg)
32. A Simple Life (2011)
Dir.: Ann Hui
Starring Andy Lau, Deanie Ip
Ann Hui made this film considering retiring after making this but the success of this film changed her mind and she is still making films.

Highlight: Winning Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress
31. The Private Eyes (1976)
Dir.: Michael Hui
Starring Michael Hui, Sam Hui, Ricky Hui, Shih Kien, Richard Ng
The highest-grossing Hong Kong film of that time. John Woo was involved as production designer and uncredited co-director. Sammo Hung did the action choreography part while Jackie Chan worked as a stuntman.
The film revolves around the exploits of a detective agency in Hong Kong. A comedy film made with brilliance and creativity. One of the heartiest Cantonese comedies you will ever see.
Highlight: Michael Hui's peak as a screenwriter

30. Cageman (1992)
Dir.: Jacob Cheung
Starring Roy Chiao, Liu Kai-chi, Wong Ka-kui, Victor Wong, Michael Lee Ming-Yeung, Teddy Robin
Winner of Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Liu Kai-chi) at 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, this film about bunch of middle aged men living in Hong Kong's infamous cage house works effectively both as a social commentary and political satire which also unfortunately happened to be Wong Ka-kui's last acting role before before his death in 1993 due to an accident. He was part of a memorable film as his last.
Highlight: Underneath massage
.jpg)
29. The Killer (1989)
Dir.: John Woo
Starring Chow Yun-fat, Danny Lee, Sally Yeh
After falling apart with Tsui Hark during A Better Tomorrow II (1987), John Woo moved on to The Killer but find it difficult to make until he was financed by both of the lead actors Chow Yun-fat and Danny Lee. The film is about an assassin who accidentally damages the eyes of a singer during a shootout.
John Woo dedicated this film to Jean-Pierre Melville and Martin Scorsese.
Highlight: Sorry Chow Yun-fat but i gotta put Danny Lee as the highlight here
28. Shaolin Soccer (2001)
Dir.: Stephen Chow
Starring Stephen Chow, Ng Man-tat
Honestly, who doesn’t love Shaolin Soccer? Everybody loves Shaolin Soccer. It might be questionable why it is this high on the list but it had to be on the list somewhere that's for sure.
Highlight: Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat's last collaboration
27. Infernal Affairs II (2002)
Dir.: Andrew Lau, Alan Mak
Starring Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, Edison Chen, Shawn Yuen, Chapman To, Carina Lau, Francis Ng, Hu Jun, Roy Cheung
A criminally underseen film considering the first part's popularity. Maybe lack of Andy Lau-Tony Leung demotivated most of the people to give it a try. It's a shame because this film both on its own and as Infernal Affairs predecessor works perfectly well. With actors returning from the first part and new actors joining, Edison Chen replacing Andy Lau, Shawn Yue replacing Tony Leung didn’t let its quality go down at all. I don't understand how they didn’t give Francis Ng Best Actor award for this film. He was criminally snubbed this year for Drifting too.
Highlight: Francis Ng's acting
26. Drunken Master (1976)
Dir.: Yuen Woo-ping
Starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Siu-tien, and Hwang Jang-lee
After the success of Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, Yuen Woo-ping went on making another film of similar style with the same cast and fairly same setting. I watched Drunken Master before and when I found out that a similar film to this, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978) exists, I was on the moon out of joy. One of the most classic and popular film of this genre of all-time.
Highlight: Jackie Chan drinking and fighting
25. Boat People (1982)
Dir.: Ann Hui
Starring George Lam, Season Ma, Cora Miao, Andy Lau
A controversial post-war tragedy film, the last instalment in Ann Hui's "Vietnam Trilogy" with George Lam playing a photojournalist and a very young Andy Lau appearing in his first film.
Highlight: Season Ma and George Lam's friendship
24. The Mission (1999)
Dir.: Johnnie To
Starring Anthony Wong, Francis Ng, Lam Suet, Roy Cheung, Simon Yam
The essential Johnnie To masterpiece is finally on the list. Incredibly well written, edited and staged. A perfect crime film where you enjoy the action sequences even before they start.
Highlight: Staging of the action sequences
23. Rouge (1988)
Dir.: Stanley Kwan
Starring Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Alex Man, Emily Chu
An impressive mixture of traditional and modern filmmaking. A very rare approach that you don't see often gracefully helmed by Stanley Kwan. The film is the adaptation of a novel with the same title by Lilian Lee.
Highlight: Anita Mui's award-winning performance
22. Ip Man (2008)
Dir.: Wilson Yip
Starring Donnie Yen, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Gordon Lam, Simon Yam, Louis Fan
Based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and teacher of Bruce Lee.
The film is often praised not only for its martial arts choreography (by Sammo Hung) but also for the acting performances of everyone involved, cinematography and the strong, well-written story.
Highlight: This time, Donnie Yen fighting against Japanese students
21. The Magnificent Butcher (1979)
Dir.: Yuen Woo-ping
Starring Sammo Hung, Kwan Tak-hing, Yuen Biao, and Wei Pai
How many Yuen Woo-ping film we featured on this list? I lost count. He deserves to have several films in any list made about Best Hong Kong Films.
Yuen Siu-tien was supposed to reprise his role as Beggar Su for this film but unfortunately died of heart attack before it began and was replaced by Fan Mei-sheng.
This film is everything you could possibly ask from any martial arts film.
Highlight: Sammo Hung making a film with Beggar Su
20. Isabella (2006)
Dir.: Pang Ho-cheung
Starring Chapman To, Isabella Leong and Anthony Wong
Chapman To in this film played a corrupt cop who meets his daughter, played by Isabella Leong in the most absurd and nightmarish way possible.
One of the most criminally underseen arthouse of Hong Kong cinema which deserves to be watched by many more people.
Now that I mentioned "Underseen", I can't help but wonder if i should do a list for underseen Hong Kong films? What do you all say?
Highlight: Pang Ho-cheung's direction

19. Ashes of Time (1994)
Dir.: Wong Kar-wai
Starring Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Carina Lau, Charlie Yeung, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Joey Wong (minus for Redux)
One of most alluring Hong Kong films ever made with a cast too good to be true, cinematography by one of Hong Kong's best, Cristopher Doyle, music by another one of the best, Frankie Chan and Roel A. GarcÃa and action choreography by one of the very best, Sammo Hung. How can someone refuse to watch it? Though it often receives mixed reviews but is considered as a misunderstood masterpiece by the fans.
Highlight: Names involved with the film
18. Comrades: Almost a Love Story (1996)
Dir.: Peter Chan
Starring Maggie Cheung, Leon Lai, Eric Tsang, Kristy Yang
Came one year before the handover, the film centers around two Chinese Mainlanders who migrate to Hong Kong to make a living, but end up falling in love.
Highly considered as one of the Best Chinese-language romantic films ever made.
Highlight: Tian Mi Mi
.jpg)
17. Chungking Express (1994)
Dir.: Wong Kar-wai
Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Brigitte Lin, Faye Wong, Valerie Chow
During the 2 months break from editing Ashes of Time, Wong Kar-wai wanted to make something very light which ended up becoming a fan-favourite film.
Highlight: Tony Leung Chiu-wai winning first of his five Best Actor awards
.jpg)
16. Project A (1983)
Dir.: Jackie Chan
Starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao
The first film of the three brothers together. Directed by Jackie Chan, who also wrote the screenplay with Edward Tang.
Project A is Jackie Chan's evolution where he poured everything he had with excessive amount of action, comedy and stunts. He was greatly assisted by his brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.
Highlight: The Clock tower stunt
15. An Autumn's Tale (1987)
Dir.: Mabel Cheung
Starring Chow Yun-fat, Cherie Chung, Danny Chan
A Hong Kong's growing love story taking place in New York. Winner of Best Film, Best Screenplay (Alex Law) and Best Cinematography (David Chung) This is one of Hong Kong's finest works of this genre as well as one of finest of Mabel-Alex duo.
Cherie Chung arrives in New York to study and to get close to her childhood love Vincent, played by Danny Chan. She was initially helped by a long distant relative, played by Chow Yun-fat who ends up becoming her emotional support after realizing that the Vincent she loved doesn’t exist in New York no more. This is a splendid film and a supreme achievement of screenwriting in Hong Kong. Chow Yun-fat and Cherie Chung's career best performances and Danny Chan's most recognized work as an actor. The character Vincent was tailor-made for him. In case you don't know him, check out his songs. He is the prince of Cantopop.
Highlight: This is one of the three films that brought Chow Yun-fat Best Actor award nomination in 1988. The rest two already appeared in our list: City on Fire at 60th and Prison on Fire at 45th. He ended up winning it for City on Fire.
14. Election II (2006)
Dir.: Johnnie To
Starring Simon Yam, Louis Koo, Nick Cheung, Gordon Lam, Cheung Siu-fai, Lam Suet
A sequel to Election (2005), the film concludes the events of the first film centring on triad boss Lok, who struggles to get re-elected as his two-year term approaches its end.
Much like the first part, this is a sublime political crime which Stephen Teo, author of Director in Action: Johnnie To and the Hong Kong Action Film (2007) said is the most directly political film made in Hong Kong in the post-97 era.
Highlight: Louis Koo
13. Days of Being Wild (1990)
Dir.: Wong Kar-wai
Starring Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Rebecca Pan, Tony Leung Chiu-wai
Entirely focuses on the boyish beautiful playboy Yuddy, played by Leslie Cheung, this is Wong Kar-wai's second feature film and his first attempt at being Wong Kar-wai as his first film had huge amount of commercial appeal. This is also his first collaboration with Christopher Doyle.
Leslie Cheung won Best Actor award at 9th Hong Kong Film Awards which remained the only Best Actor award he won.
Highlight: Leslie Cheung as Yuddy
12. Exiled (2006)
Dir.: Johnnie To
Starring Anthony Wong, Francis Ng, Lam Suet, Roy Cheung, Simon Yam, Nick Cheung, Josie Ho, Richie Jen
Another starry cast film. Another Johnnie To from 2006. It's insane to think that Johnnie To released both Election II (placed at 14) and Exiled in 2006, two films that anyone on this earth would dream to have in their filmography. This is a spiritual sequel to The Mission (1999), placed at 24th on our list.
Highlight: Richie Jen's cameo
11. A Better Tomorrow (1986)
Dir.: John Woo
Starring Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, Ti Lung
Finally! The film that everyone knew is coming has come. A Better Tomorrow is not just a rock-solid crime action film, but it was extremely important for Hong Kong too. Started an era of antihero films which gave us the opportunity of witnessing many brilliant works of this genre. Also this film made John Woo popular, who later on directed some of Hong Kong's best films. Made Chow Yun-fat a movie star, who probably was Hong Kong's biggest actor in the 80s, swapping three Best Actor awards in the decade starting with this and being a part of several box-office hits. Made struggling Leslie Cheung a movie star too who remains one of Hong Kong's greats even today.
Highlight: Ti-Chow-Cheung trio
10. In the Mood for Love (2000)
Dir.: Wong Kar-wai
Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung
Now this is a task that i strongly hate. One of Hong Kong's most popular, recognized and acclaimed works. It's still a topic to discuss the supreme level of art cinema. BBC named it the second best film of this century. What more can I possibly add to this film? Well, i did add something though, which is a "zero".
Highlight: Yumeji's theme song
9. Running Out of Time (1999)
Dir.: Johnnie To
Starring Andy Lau, Lau Ching-wan
A cat-and-mouse game between Andy Lau and Lau Ching-wan. A well written crime film which is highly entertaining. Twists and turns in nearly every moment made it a film very unpredictable as well as goddamn stylish.
Again, it's insane to think that Johnnie To released Running Out of Time and The Mission (placed at 24th) in the same year. He loves having multiple great films in a year I guess.
Highlight: Andy Lau's first award-winning performance
8. A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
Dir.: Ching Siu-tung
Starring Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong, Wu Ma
A ill-fated love story of a mortal and a ghost. Joey Wong played the ill-fated ghost who devours young men after luring them for her master and Leslie Cheung played the timid debt collector.
Still considered as a cult classic and one of Hong Kong's best films for its perfect blend of horror, comedy and romance.
Highlight: Joey Wong-Leslie Cheung's chemistry
7. Project A II (1987)
Dir.: Jackie Chan
Starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Rosamund Kwan, Kenny Ho, Ray Lui
A follow-up to 1983 classic Project A (placed at 16th), not everyday you get to see someone putting this sequel above Project A which was already a masterpiece on its own.
This film was made after the defenders of law requested Jackie Chan to make a second part of Project A. Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao not returning is surely a bad thing but Jackie Chan compensated that part with some of his career-best action sequences.
Highlight: In a scene, a wall falls on Jackie but he escapes injury because he is standing exactly where the window of the wall lands. A tribute to Buster Keaton.
6. Hard Boiled (1992)
Dir.: John Woo
Starring Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Teresa Mo, Philip Kwok, Anthony Wong, Philip Chan
In Hard Boiled, I think there were more action sequences than non-action sequences. When you keep going and going with action, some might become relatively weak or less interesting but this is one of John Woo's best we are talking about which despite having a large number of action sequences, none of them anyhow fall short on the quality.
Highlight: Chow Yun-fat shooting while sliding from the stairs (you can see on the photo)
.jpg)
5. Wheels on Meals (1984)
Dir.: Sammo Hung
Starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Lola Forner, Benny Urquidez, José Sancho
The world needed more three brothers films but unfortunately they settled down with only three films of the highest quality (I am not counting My Lucky Stars trilogy and you know why). This is their second film together that came right after Project A (1983).
Takes place in Barcelona, Spain because Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were very popular at that time so it was nearly impossible for them to shoot a film on the streets of Hong Kong.
It's about David and Thomas, played by Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan who are two cousins living in Spain. They run a fast food van, hence the name Wheels on Meals. they suddenly get tangled with a mysterious beautiful girl, who also happens to be the subject of newly appointed detective Moby, played by Sammo Hung.
Highlight: Jackie Chan vs Benny Urquidez, which still is considered as one of the greatest onscreen fight scenes of all-time
4. Bullet in the Head (1990)
Dir.: John Woo
Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Waise Lee, Jacky Cheung, Simon Yam
A film about brotherhood and betrayal which was originally written for A Better Tomorrow trilogy but after the disrupt with Tsuo Hark, John Woo went on making it on his own as a standalone film which happened maybe for the greater good considering how good it turned out to be and how brilliant work the cast put altogether.
Highlight: One of Tony Leung Chiu-wai's career best performance
3. Police Story (1985)
Dir.: Jackie Chan
Starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheun, Brigitte Lin, Bill Tung, Chor Yuen
Winner of Best Film at 5th Hong Kong Film Awards, after Jackie Chan's second disappointing attempt at Hollywood. But instead of getting demotivated, he was motivated to make one of the world's greatest pieces of modern action of all-time which set the bar way too high for action cinema.
Stuntmen of this film spent more time on the hospital than on the set due to enormous number of injuries suffered by everyone including Chan the Man himself.
Highlight: Well staged stunts
.jpg)
2. Happy Together (1997)
Dir.: Wong Kar-wai
Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Leslie Cheung, Chang Chen
Two Hong Kong lovers in Argentina, tale of a toxic relationship between Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Leslie Cheung, which went through tremendous changes in the course of its shooting and ended up becoming the Happy Together that we saw. This is one of those films where acting, story, cinematography, music, direction everything excels at their best.
Highlight: Everything
.jpg)
1. Infernal Affairs (2002)
Dir: Andrew Lau, Alan Mak
Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Andy Lau, Eric Tsang, Anthony Wong, Sammi Cheng, Kelly Chen
Yaay!! Finally the number one film. How many of you were able to guess this obvious number one? Seriously, who can beat Infernal Affairs tell me.
In case if you didn’t notice, its the third Tony Leung Chiu-wai's film in the top four and the fifth in top ten. What a filmography he has.
Highlight: Ranked at #1 by ea-cinehouse in their "200 Best Hong Kon Films of All-time"
.jpg)
I started working on this list on 22nd May and today is 27th July (by the time I finished this) I worked on this list for 36 days and I acknowledge that I could do much better but doing this list alone was already a huge challenge which required years of preparation for me to get done with this. I hope there is at least one person who finds at least one good film through this list that they never heard of before. That's all I want to achieve through this.
I am sorry for not being able to make it proper but I will do better in near future I promise.
Thanks Everyone
