History

edit

In 1979, Warriors Film Company was founded by comedians Raymond Wong, Karl Maka, and Dean Shek. They then released their first two films, which were called Crazy Partner in 1979, and Crazy Crooks in 1980.[citation needed]In 1980, Warriors Film Company was renamed to Cinema City. Tsui Hark and Raymond Wong made movies like All The Wrong Clues For The Right Solution. In the 1980s, Cinema City was invested into by Golden Princess Amusement Co., Ltd. Because of this, they teamed up to eventually become the third biggest force in Hong Kong Cinema, competing with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest for nearly a decade.[citation needed]

However, as Cinema City's productions slowed down, Golden Princess formed their own production company.[citation needed] The studio ran into some financial troubles around the early '90s, and attempts to fully revive it were unsuccessful, leaving some spin-off companies like Cinema City Enterprises/Cinema Capital Entertainment and Cinema City Entertainment. Cinema City went defunct because of this in 1991. Only Raymond Wong remained to continue making movies as Mandarin Films Limited since 1992 (later Pegasus Motion Pictures and Mandarin Motion Pictures).[citation needed]
