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 (1983) 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 (2015), for the film Kung Fu Jungle.


Since action scenes have an essential role in Hong Kong action cinema, this award is regarded as an important category of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Officially, the group of choreographers who is holding the record for most awards in this category is Jackie Chan Stunt Team with 7 times.

Unofficially, Donnie Yen ties with Jackie Chan Stunt Team for the most wins, as Yen has received the award 4 times credited, his winning choreography includes The Twins Effect, SPL: Sha Po Lang, Flash Point and Kung Fu Jungle[1] and uncredited, Donnie Yen was also action co-choreographer for winners such as Ip Man, Ip Man 2 and Bodyguards and Assassins, bringing his total up to 7 times.
