Golden Way Films

Background

Golden Way Films (formerly Authority Films) was one of Golden Harvest's satellite companies founded by Jackie Chan.

Logo (December 14, 1985-1995)

Visuals: On a black background, the Golden Harvest logo zooms in, encased in a green wire-frame globe with blue continents and lights representing some of the major cities in the world. The globe grows smaller until the Golden Harvest logo is on the outside. A yellow, glowing, four-pointed star emerges from the bottom rectangle of the logo and then engulfs the whole screen before zooming out to reveal a black background divided in half with the above half having a bright light and the bottom having a yellow road which moves backward, giving the impression of going forward. The star stops in the middle of the screen and rotates to the other side, revealing an abstract "G" in the shape of a diamond. The "G" then moves to the right and a yellow triangle slides to the left, forming an abstract, connected "GW", which then flashes, causing the background to become solid black again. "GOLDEN WAY FILMS LTD." in a color close to school bus yellow zooms out and then the name in Chinese zoom out below it as well. Both names then flash in a yellow light.

Variant: Sometimes, the logo is on a blue/black gradient background depending on the film quality.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Audio: There are two variants, one slightly different than the other.

The first variant features an rising synth at the beginning, followed by a theme based off the Police Story opening theme, which is pretty bombastic.
The later variant has a less bombastic, though not much different synth theme.

Availability: The first music variant is only seen on Police Story. The later music variant is seen on other films of the era, such as Police Story II and III.
