Feels like back in the 90's people were a bit more chill and didn't go into a genocidal lunatic rage at the mere mention of the country. Wild to think people used to get down with hong kong action movies.

Most of Jackie Chan's HK filmography is good, even if he does play a cop or a soldier for the Br*tish colony in some of them.

Too many martial arts movies to list. All of John Woo's HK filmography, really.

"Internal Affairs" - Cop crime thriller which was later adapted into 'The Departed' by reflavoring it to be about Irish-American gangsters and the FBI

"Once a Gangster" - Convoluted crime comedy about a chef who becomes a crime boss
