“Made in Hong Kong” (メイド・イン・ホンコン), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1997, Rare Signed Example by Sam Lee, Fruit Chan / 陳果, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P205B

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 hand-signed by Sam Lee, who played the lead role of Moon, and dated 25.2.99 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, 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 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:

「涙よりはやく走れ」
“Run faster than tears.”

Below it:

「恋も知った、銃も持った。」
“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 Sam Lee
This poster is hand-signed by Sam Lee and dated 25.2.99. Signed examples of Japanese B2 posters for this title are rare, and the signature by the film’s lead actor turns an already important piece of Hong Kong cinema paper into a true collector-grade item.
