There was barely a mention of this in the western press, but one of the last classic Hong Kong movie studios has been acquire by a mainland Chinese entertainment company. It's sad to see Raymond Chow has finally sold his stakes in Golden Harvest, but his studio's legacy are many....his rivalries with the Shaw Brothers Studios, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, the Hui Brothers comedies, the Cannonball Run movies, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and countless other hits. With the demise of the Shaw Brothers Studios (as a movie producer) and Cinema City Studios ("Aces Go Places" series and John Woo's training ground), I suppose big HK movie studios can no longer support the diminishing movie market in HK.
Unfortunately, another piece of my youth have passed into the dustbin of time.
Thanks for the good times, Golden Harvest.
