Angel Terminators 2 - Former South Kowloon Magistracy

The courthouse where Chitty Wan (played by Moon Lee) is sentenced to three years in prison for manslaughter. The Former South Kowloon Magistracy is listed as a Grade I historic building, by definition it is one of the "outstanding merits of which every effort should be made to preserve if possible". Certainly not least because of its lively history. Constructed in 1933, less than a decade later it served as the headquarters of the Japanese military police ("Kenpeitai") during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.

King Boxer - Fanling

In the Shaw Brothers classic King Boxer, there is a brief scene where Lo Lieh crosses a beautiful stone arch bridge. Unfortunately, this bridge no longer exists. I found a comparison picture on the internet, which was taken in the early 1960s. The exact location of the bridge at that time is also not so easy to determine. There has already been a detailed research on this topic on the great website gwulo.com, where you can also see other old photos of the bridge. The approximate location was near the Ma Wat River in Fanling. If you click on the location link below this post, you will see the area that has since been built over on Google Maps. It is a shame that this little piece of history was not preserved.
