“Made in Hong Kong” (メイド・イン・ホンコン), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1997, Rare Signed Example (Fruit Chan / 陳果), B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P205

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1997 for the acclaimed Hong Kong independent drama Made in Hong Kong (Heung Gong Jai Jo), directed by Fruit Chan (陳果). This specific example is signed by Fruit Chan, dated ’99, in black marker across the lower portion of the image—an exceptional upgrade in collectability for one of the defining Hong Kong films of the era.

Film background
Released in 1997, Made in Hong Kong is a seminal work of late-1990s Hong Kong cinema—raw, street-level, and emotionally devastating—capturing disillusioned youth in housing estates at the edge of the 1997 handover moment. The film follows “Moon,” a small-time triad kid drifting through violence, love, and fatalism in a city where the future feels both close and unreachable. Famously made on an extremely low budget (including discarded film stock), it became an international breakout for Hong Kong independent filmmaking.

Poster design
A striking, minimalist Japanese campaign image: a blue-toned, dreamlike close-up of the lead (Sam Lee as Moon), with the huge vertical yellow title メイド・イン・ホンコン running down the left side like a warning label. The vertical copy at upper right reads: “Run faster than tears. I knew love, and I held a gun.” The overall design is austere and modern—more art-film than gangster glamour—perfectly matching the film’s melancholy violence.

Signed by the director
This poster is hand-signed by Fruit Chan (陳果) and dated ’99. Signed examples of Japanese B2s for this title are rare, and the signature turns an already important piece of Hong Kong cinema paper into a true collector-grade item.
