The Battle of Hong Kong, also known as The Day England Fell, is the sole film made in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945.[2] The 1942 film was produced by the Japanese Dai Nippon Film Company, was directed by Shigeo Tanaka (田中重雄 Tanaka Shigeo) and featured an all-Japanese cast, but some Hong Kong film personalities were also involved in its making.[3]
The Japanese used the film to spread anti-British propaganda; the film portrays the British as having brutal and racist attitudes while in Hong Kong.[4] This film is now lost.[5]
