New Essential Guide to Hong Kong Movies cover

Extensively revised and expanded, The New Essential Guide to Hong Kong Movies includes over 670 film reviews, a poster gallery, and a look at the key studios that made Hong Kong cinema so amazing, along with insights into the Hong Kong movie industry written by global superstar Jackie Chan and Hong Kong film stars Cynthia Rothrock, and Vincent Lyn.

Rick Baker and Ken Miller have curated a huge selection of reviews of kung fu and swordplay films, gangster flicks, crime dramas, action, horror, fantasy, erotic, and assorted Category III films, sharing their love for these distinctive, kinetic, and sometimes utterly bizarre Hong Kong genre productions with an infectious enthusiasm. 

“I know I’ll be consulting the new Guide as often as I have the previous edition—great to have all the material in one place.”—Kim Newman, author, journalist, film critic

“The book is massive! Congratulations! I hate Bruceploitation films, but I love to read about them in this truly essential guide!”—Jörg Buttgereit, writer/director

“God bless Rick and Ken for producing this new edition and sharing their love for the golden age of Hong Kong cinema with the rest of us!”—Brett Ratner, director, producer, and publisher
