Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Choreography


The Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Choreography is an annual Hong Kong industry award presented to a choreographer or a group of choreographers for the best achievement in action choreography.

History

The award was established at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards and the first winner in this category was the group of choreographers Sammo Hung, Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Biao & Billy Chan Wui-Ngai for their contribution in staging the action scenes of The Prodigal Son. The most recent recipient of the award was Hong Kong Action Star Donnie Yen, who was honoured at the 34th Hong Kong Film Awards, for the film Kung Fu Jungle.
