Hong Kong as one of earliest city in Asia that started the process of modernization has experience combination of multiple culture throughout the process.The film industry could reveal the process of multiculture collision and integration. First started with migration of film makers from Shang Hai then move on to UK colonial government intervention after 1967. Films at that time started to combine element from different culture in a unnatural way examplified by A purple stormy night. However, new generation of film directors and producer took such oppotunity and estabilish a film style rooted in Hong Kong. They elegantly combine traditional element such as Kung Fu with modern background or tell stories of police officiers based on traditional Chinese family relationship. Such combination not only attract many audience around Hong Kong but also populatize Hong Kong’s culture to the entire world. Represented by Kung Fu films and action films stared in Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan. Such style of film making is different from both Hollywood or other mandarin films made in mainland China, which shape the own identity of Hong Kong’s film making.
