| Abstract | Over the past decade, Hong Kong has also been developing a more refined taste for film. Granted, big name directors such as Spielberg and action stars like Stallone and Schwarzenegger have always received wide release and taken in good money, but anything even slightly off the blockbuster track used to be met with apathy. But recently, local attitudes have changed. Slap-dash filmmaking doesn't cut it any more. Audiences, exposed to all kinds of top-of-the-line stimuli from CD-ROM games to Hollywood mega-budget special effects, are no longer prepared to swallow second rate movie-making. |
