Golden Princess Film Production was a Hong Kong production company and film distributor.
The company was established as Golden Princess Amusement Co. Ltd., which originally distributed Western films and ran a circuit of theatres located on the major streets of Hong Kong in the late 1970s. This enterprise was backed by Lawrence Louey, a director of Kowloon Development Company whose family owned Kowloon Motor Bus at the time.
Having invested in independent film companies like Cinema City in the 1980s, Golden Princess began to distribute Chinese-language films. In conjunction with Cinema City, they became the third major distributor of Hong Kong cinema, competing with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest for nearly a decade.
Later, when Cinema City's productions slowed down, Golden Princess set up its own company, Golden Princess Film Production Ltd. The first film made was I Love Maria (1998). It also produced many films directed by John Woo before his transition to Hollywood, including The Killer (1989), Bullet in the Head (1990), Once a Thief (1991), and Hard Boiled (1992).
Louey died in 1992.[1]
