The studio ran into some financial troubles around 1989, and would split off into several companies under the Cinema City name: Cinema City & Films Company (by Raymond Wong), [[Cinema City Enterprises Ltd.|Cinema City Enterprises/Cinema Capital Entertainment]] (by Karl Maka) and [[Cinema City Entertainment Co. Ltd.|Cinema City Entertainment]] (by Dean Shek). Only Raymond Wong remained to continue making movies as [[Mandarin Films Distribution Company Limited|Mandarin Films Limited]] since 1992 (later Pegasus Motion Pictures and Mandarin Motion Pictures), and would eventually revive the name to be used as a local theatre chain in 2014, simply named [[Cinema City]].

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