SUMMARY
"As electrifying as the action cinema it illuminates,Hong Kong Connectionsdelivers an elegantly choreographed and deadly volley of blows against the myth that global popular cinema begins and ends with Hollywood. These essays by a glittering array of leading scholars from around the world reveal Hong Kong cinema's role in shaping other action cinemas, pioneering transnational filmmaking, and invigorating Chinese cultures. In the process, Hong Kong's cinema becomes as firmly established as a global meeting as Hong Kong itself."-Chris Berry, coeditor ofMobile Cultures: New Media in Queer AsiaLi, Siu-Leung is the author of 'Hong Kong Connections Transnational Imagination in Action Cinema', published 2006 under ISBN 9781932643015 and ISBN 193264301X.
