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 Ltd. (Hong Kong)|Cinema City Enterprises/Cinema Capital Entertainment]] (by Karl Maka) and [[Cinema City Entertainment (Hong Kong)|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).
