Concord Production Inc. (Chinese: 協和電影公司) (simply known as Concord Films) was a British-Hongkongese production company founded in 1972 in Hong Kong by Bruce Lee and Raymond Chow[2] (50%[3]). Lee was in charge of the creative decisions and Chow was in charge of the administration.[4] Golden Harvest was in charge of distribution. The Lee Estate owns 51% of Concord Films, the other 49% belonging to Chow. Concord has the following in its library: 1–Way of the Dragon, 2–50% of Enter the Dragon, 3–Game of Death footage. Raymond and the Estate agree to settle up for a flat fee buy out. Raymond buys the 51% of Concord.[5] After Lee's death, Linda Lee Cadwell, his wife, sold his portion to Chow in 1976.[6] Concord went defunct in 1976, absorbed by Golden Harvest. Raymond Chow went on to continue running Golden Harvest.
