Reception In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson wrote: "The miracle of 'Hong Kong' ... is that the picture manages to keep going at all. William Pine and William Thomas, those diehard promoters of Paramount's adventure quickies in Technicolor, have served up another corn meal special, with chop suey added, not to say Ronald Reagan and Rhonda Fleming, and in about that order."
