"Eternal Dragon Slayer: The Demon Lord" is a classic Hong Kong movie. Whether this movie is a hearty action scene or a combination of meat and vegetables in a funny scene, it was criticized in the year for its large adaptation of the Jin Yong classic, and the competition was fierce.

No. 11: Rose Rose I love you
box office 21.9 million, Peng Qihua directed, Ren Dahua , Carina Lau, Tony Leung, Zhong Zhentao, Ye Yuqing starred. The name is more persuasive, but the quality is still acceptable.

In order to support Zhang Weijian, Wang Jing brought Andy Lau, the third of the four kings, Jacky Cheung Aaron Kwok plus Ekin Cheng, Ren Dahua and Qiu Shuzhen to assist him.
's experience is also very miserable compared to the demon leader. At least the word-of-mouth of the leader of the demon sect has turned over now. There are still some people who think that Super School Overlord is a bad movie. In fact, the plot is not bad. Of course, in terms of misery, based on the contrast between the quality of the film and the word-of-mouth box office in 1993, the worst has to be The Three Heroes of the East.

No. 23: The Rape of Hong Kong's Odd Case
No. 24: The Murder of the Door Massacre
are all third-level films, with box office of 13.76 million and 13.27 million respectively.

No. 26: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng
box office 12.54 million, directed by Yuan Heping, starring Jet Li, Qian Xiaohao, Michelle Yeoh . I didn't expect this one to be ranked 26th. Compared with the sect leader, this one is more artistic, and the martial arts are also more beautiful. It's just that there were too many martial arts films that year. Heroes are not free.
No. 27: When the peach is ripe,
has a box office of 12.3 million, directed by Zhang Zhaolin, starring Li Lizhen, a classic third-level film, no need to explain.
No. 28: Chasing Boys

box office 11.85 million, directed by Wang Jing, starring Jet Li, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, and Gigi Lai, this is already the 6th Jet Li film that year, and it is also a kung fu film adapted from a famous book. Hong Kong audiences who have been bombarded by Jin Yong's original adaptations may not buy it. The so-called box office difference of
is only relative to his cost. It is also a star lineup and he went to the mainland to film the scene. He also invited several mainland actors. It can be seen that Wang Jing has great expectations and investment in this film. of. As a result, the box office couldn't even get the pay of several big stars back, and Wang Jing was so angry that he didn't make the second film.
reckons that Wang Jing has also been made mentally broken after this film. Wang Jing has the ability to make good films, but since he can make money by making bad films, why bother to make good films. In the same year,

No. 105: The Three Heroes of the East
box office 1.93 million, starring Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung. Yes, you read that right, the box office ranking of the Three Heroes of the East was out of 100. What
is even more unexpected is that this film also won an award. The best film song of the 13th Hong Kong Film Awards is this three heroes of the East.
There are so many masterpieces, it is very honorable for the leader of the demon sect to rank 29. Besides, it was already December of that year when it was launched. I saw Jet Li's martial arts films this year. peak period!
