Made in Hong Kong (香港製造) is a 1997 Hong Kong drama film written and directed by Fruit Chan, produced by Andy Lau, and starring Sam Lee, Yim Hui-Chi, Wenders Li, and Tam Ka-Chuen. It won the Best Picture Award at the 1998 Hong Kong Film Awards along with 13 other wins and 6 nominations. The film was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 71st Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[2][3]
Much of the film is set in public housing estates, which Chan considered to be "a very Hong Kong thing" due to the high population density of the territory.[4] Though the film is sometimes regarded as a response to the 1997 Hong Kong handover, Chan feels that Made in Hong Kong can also be viewed as a character-driven drama that reflects the lifestyle of many young Hong Kong people at the time.[4]
The film was made using leftover film reels and therefore had very low production costs, even for an independent movie.[citation needed]
