This was a major Hong Kong film studio founded by Raymond Wong, Karl Maka, and Dean Shek in 1970 as [[Warriors Films Company]]. It would change its name to Cinema City & Films Co. sometime around 1979, and would begin challenging other studios like [[Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment Co. (Hong Kong)|Golden Harvest]] and [[Shaw Brothers Pictures Ltd. (Hong Kong)|Shaw Brothers]]. 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 (by Karl Maka) and Cinema City Entertainment (by Dean Shek). Only Raymond Wong remained to continue making movies as Mandarin Films Limited since 1992 (later Pegasus Motion Pictures and Mandarin Motion Pictures). | This was a major Hong Kong film studio founded by Raymond Wong, Karl Maka, and Dean Shek in 1970 as [[Warriors Films Company]].

'''Availability''': Rare. Seen on Hong Kong films of the time. Sometimes is plastered by the Media Asia logo, or those of other companies on export versions, such as Atlas International. It is intact on Anchor Bay's U.S. DVD of John Woo's ''A Better Tomorrow II'', and the Dimension release of City on Fire (surprisingly, after the Media Asia logo!). Also appears on HK theatrical trailers. The early version is very hard to find and was seen on ''Love, Lone Flower'' as well as ''The Family Strikes Back''. | '''Availability''': Rare.
