It was launched on 1 May 1994 as Star Mandarin Movies. At that time, it screened both Hollywood and Chinese-language films and was focused to a pan-Asian audience split into two television channels: Star Movies International (now Fox Movies) and Star Mandarin Movies (now Star Chinese Movies).

On 15 December 2007, a sister channel named Star Chinese Movies 2 was launched.

On 19 May 2012, the Star Chinese Movies 2 and Hong Kong was officially rebranded as Star Chinese Movies Legend. The channel logo was also changed from a star, to a crown.

On 1 October 2021, Star Chinese Movies Legend along with many other Fox Networks Asia channels (except National Geographic Asia and National Geographic Wild Asia) end all operations from 1 October 2021 with the very final and last Raymond Wong Pak-ming movie aired is Happy Ghost III.
