Background

Authority Films Ltd. (拳威影片有限公司) was a Hong Kong film production company set up by actor Jackie Chan. It would later be restructured as Golden Way Films.

Logo (September 18, 1980-May 15, 1981)

Visuals: On a black background, a rainbow sunburst briefly flashes, and an orange fist appears zooming in with rainbow trails following. It then 'punches' the screen, disappears, and reappears after, tearing through the black screen. Red Chinese characters flash underneath, along with "AUTHORITY FILMS LTD.".

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Audio: First, a suspenseful, dramatic fanfare plays, having the volume gradually rise as the fist gets near to the screen. When the fist punches the screen, a loud male yell (Jackie Chan) that sounds like this: "Ho-wah!". Finally, when the fist tears through the black screen, a loud paper ripping sound plays, ending with the loud windy sound.

Availability: This logo is seen on Read Lips (孖寶闖八關) and The Gold Hunters (老鼠街)
