Cinema City

In 1980, Wong formed the renowned Cinema City Enterprises, Ltd. with Karl Maka and Dean Shek. The production company became an industry phenomenon, producing films such as A Better Tomorrow, Aces Go Places, Prison on Fire and All About Ah-Long. Actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Ti Lung along with filmmakers John Woo, Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark were some of the people who rose to fame under the Cinema City label.

In 1991, the trio broke up, with both Maka and Shek ending their interests in the film industry.
