Abstract: As an immigrant city, many immigrant films have been created in Hong Kong. This article focuses on Hong Kong in the 1980s, when large-scale marches and unique images accompanied the release of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. This paper focuses on the images of treacherous female Vietnamese in Hong Kong films of the 1980s and analyzes two films, Stars and Roses and The Story of Woo Viet, through textual analysis. It also explains how the bodies, travels and deaths of treacherous female Vietnamese are used by the director to demonstrate the fluid nature of Hong Kongness and to respond to the culture of mobility created by the unique position of Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s.
