From the martial arts films that focused on details in the 1960s and 1970s, to the blooming of the New Wave in the 1980s, and then to the dazzling dazzling of the 1990s, Hong Kong films used to shine in the world. Even in the 1960s and 1970s, Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese samurai films, and American Western films were equally famous, becoming one of the symbols of national genre films and also representing a film era.
used to have nearly one Hong Kong film from Nissan, and various experimental films and genres appeared in an endless stream. The star-studded Hong Kong of that era was the "golden age" of Hong Kong films. Today, the editor recommends five Hong Kong genre films. These films have been banned due to content "scale" issues, but they are classics worth remembering!
1. "Rainy Night Demon"

This is Zhou Xingchi’s work when he was young. The film mainly tells about the Chinese police chief colluding with foreign parties, smuggling dinosaur fossils, and claiming to be a golden gun man. Zhou Xingchi plays the most despised agent Ling Lingqi, but in the end he reverses the role. The story of successfully protecting dinosaur fossils. But because it was a bit bloody, it was banned.
3. The "Shinjuku Incident"
movie tells about the rise and fall of a generation of gangsters. Although the characters in the film are fictitious, each case comes from real events in the Japanese Chinese society. The film is starring Jackie Chan. It shows the life of the Japanese Chinese to the fullest, deepening every action and expression. It is also a movie invested and shot by the Emperor Film Group. The plot of the movie is very good. Because the screen is too bloody and violent, it is not shown in the mainland. It can only be shown in Hong Kong and is still strictly banned.
4. "Eight Immortals Restaurant: R Pork Pork Buns"
A thriller drama directed by Qiu Litao and Li Xiuxian, starring Huang Qiusheng, Cheng Kui'an, Li Xiuxian, etc. This film is the most popular work of Huang Qiusheng, and with this film won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor, also established his future status as a character actor in the film industry. The movie tells the story of the discovery of human limbs on the Black Sand Beach in Coloane, Macau in the 1980s. The Police Crime Squad, Macau Ministry of Justice Lee Sir investigated the case but found that the Zheng family at the Eight Immortals Hotel disappeared overnight. Thus began a battle of wits with Wang Zhiheng, the person in charge of the Eight Immortals Hotel.
5. "Black Rat Confidential Archives"
Deng Yancheng's work, starring Zheng Zeshi, Ren Dahua, Li Xiuxian, Guan Yonghe, the film was released in 1993, the box office was more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars, the film followed Deng Yancheng's usual style, extremely dark, and finally this film was Banned. The plot was originally tortuous, but it felt like there was only a skeleton, or a broken skeleton, which could be better shot. Ren Dahua is really handsome, even if the character is very cruel and terrifying. Although Zheng Zeshi and Ren Dahua both broke out amazing acting skills. But I always feel that the story went wrong in the end. Guan Yonghe is so beautiful!
The decline of Hong Kong movies now makes us recall that era, miss that glorious era, and miss those classic Hong Kong movies that we never tire of; the gorgeous pictures, the unrestrained rivers and lakes, the profound freehand lines, are gone forever...
