Hong Kong Babylon
(1997)

"In Hong Kong Babylon, the award-winning journalist Fredric Dannen and the noted cineast Barry Long present a comprehensive look at the Hollywood of the East. In a richly entertaining overview of the Hong Kong cinema and its history, Dannen portrays the actors who risk their lives performing dangerous stunts and explosive martial arts feats; he also details the world of Hong Kong movie producers, many of whom are triads - Chinese organized-crime figures - who will resort literally to murder to lock a deal. Long complements Dannen's reporting by providing the best Hong Kong video guide yet available - summaries of well over 300 key films of the last two decades, most with English subtitles.
