Star Chinese Movies before 1st July 2012 for Hong Kong and Singapore. Some countries are still using the old logo

On May 19, 2012, STAR Chinese Movies Hong Kong was officially re-branded. The channel logo was also changed from a star, to a crown. The crown features three points, which represent the channel's aims of offering the best premium programmes, the best screening service and the largest Chinese movie inventory.[1]

STAR Legend Movies [edit]

Boasting the world’s largest contemporary Chinese film library, STAR Chinese Movies 2 showcases some of the best movies from the Golden Age of Hong Kong productions from the 1970s to 1990s. With 24 hours of commercial-free and non-stop programming, the channel offers a line-up of box office blockbusters featuring top rated movie stars and directors. Early films by Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li, and Stephen Chow are frequently aired. All the movies are broadcast in Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles. STAR Chinese Movies 2 currently only now available in StarHub TV in Singapore Channel 867 and on Channel 151 via HyppTV in Malaysia.[2][3][4][5] STAR Chinese Movies 2 was officially re-branded from September 2012, which was renamed as STAR Legend Movies.
