Overview
My Way Film Company is a Hong Kong film production and distribution company founded in 1981 by Jeffrey Kai-Ping Cheung. The company became associated with the production and circulation of Hong Kong commercial cinema, particularly action-oriented titles. Its output during the early 1990s included female-themed action films, martial arts action pictures, and action films aimed at children. In 1991, the business adopted the name My Way Film Company Limited, reflecting its formal corporate identity. The company also participated in the international promotion and distribution of Hong Kong cinema. In 1983, it produced a female-themed action film in the United States for distribution in Asian markets during a Hong Kong cinema promotion. Reference material describes the company as having overall media rights to a library of approximately 200 films, although the available material does not identify the complete catalogue or explain the precise scope and duration of those rights. My Way’s activities covered both production and distribution rather than a single genre or format. Its film-related work included collaborations with performers and filmmakers active in the Hong Kong action-film industry. Donnie Yen was associated with The New Big Boss as director, scriptwriter, and actor, playing the character Fung Man-hin. The company’s catalogue also extended into children’s cinema. Panda The Sun received the Most Popular Film Award at the 1994 Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, providing the clearest documented recognition of the company’s work. The available public information is limited regarding My Way’s later ownership, financial performance, current operations, executive leadership, and present-day catalogue. No reliable information in the supplied sources establishes whether the company remains active, has been dissolved, or operates under another corporate structure. It is therefore best understood as a historically documented Hong Kong film company whose principal significance lies in its production and distribution activities during the development of Hong Kong commercial cinema and its international circulation.
History
My Way Film Company was established in Hong Kong in 1981 by Jeffrey Kai-Ping Cheung. The available reference material also describes Jeremy Kai-ping Cheung as the company’s founder and as a veteran of the Hong Kong film industry, creating an inconsistency in the published identification of the founding individual. The company’s early business combined film production with distribution, placing it within the commercial infrastructure of Hong Kong cinema rather than limiting it to a single filmmaking role. In 1983, My Way participated in the international promotion of Hong Kong cinema by producing a female-themed action film in the United States for distribution in Asia. This activity illustrates the company’s interest in moving films across territories and in connecting overseas production or promotional activity with Asian distribution. Reference material further states that the company held overall media rights to a library of about 200 films, although the sources supplied do not provide a full catalogue or detailed rights information. The company changed its name in 1991 to My Way Film Company Limited. During the early 1990s, it produced a substantial number of female-themed action films, martial arts action films, and children’s action films. These categories corresponded with important segments of Hong Kong commercial cinema at the time, particularly action pictures designed around physical performance, genre conventions, and recognizable performers. The company’s work was not confined to production: it also distributed films and maintained a broader catalogue-related role. One documented association is The New Big Boss, for which Donnie Yen served as director and scriptwriter and also appeared as the character Fung Man-hin. The available material does not establish the full extent of My Way’s role in that film beyond its inclusion among films produced or distributed by the company. My Way was also connected with children’s cinema. Panda The Sun won the Most Popular Film Award at the 1994 Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, giving the company a recorded festival distinction in addition to its action-film output. Public information about the company after the 1990s is sparse. The supplied sources identify corporate-registration, film-database, and business-directory references, but they do not establish a current management team, present ownership, financial condition, continuing production slate, or definitive dissolution date. Accordingly, the company’s current status remains unknown. Its documented historical profile is that of a Hong Kong producer-distributor active in action and children’s cinema, with an interest in international distribution and a substantial claimed film-rights library.
