Tiger Cage - Port Shelter

Carol Cheng and Simon Yam sailing the waters of Port Shelter south of Sai Kung. By the way, I took the comparison photos in January 2011 during my first trip to Hong Kong without thinking about this scene from the film. When I rewatched Yuen Woo-Ping's Tiger Cage the other day, I remembered the pictures I had taken in this area and fortunately found two that show more or less the same angles. The visibility that day wasn't great, but it's nice that I can still use some snaps from back then for my blog today.

Angel II - Tin Hau Temple

Angel II aka Iron Angels 2 starts at the colorful beachfront Tin Hau Temple at Repulse Bay. Moon Lee operates undercover to get in contact with some criminals. By the way, the villains hide in an abandoned villa in Fanling, a frequently used filming location that I wrote about a while ago. If you want to find out more about the fascinating building and its history, then click here.

Walk on Fire - Portas do Cerco

A simple car chase evolves into a political situation at the barrier gate separating Macau from mainland China. Obviously, the area around the arch went through some significant changes. Built in 1849 by the Portuguese, the gate served as a de facto boundary, but the precise limits of Macau's border has never been formally demarcated.

Painted Faces - Lee Kum Kee

The Seven Little Fortunes turn out to be a bunch of cheeky badgers. They take the bus without buying tickets. Their journey via public transport leads them past Lee Kum Kee's flagship shop in Macau. It's quite an achievement to be the world's biggest producer of oyster sauce but putting your company name in a film starring Sammo Hung is another level of prestige.

Walk on Fire - Tin Sum Police Station

A few days ago, I've already posted some pics from this building's left side because it was a filming location for Devil Hunters (1989). Filmed in 1988, the Wong Kar-Wai scripted actioner Walk on Fire gives us a quick glimpse of Tin Sum Police Station's right side.
Walk on Fire is a good old 80s Hong Kong style cop flick starring Andy Lau, Kent Cheng, Cherie Chung, Ray Lui and one of my favorite villains of all time: Dick Wei.

Painted Faces - Sacred Heart Church

The Seven Little Fortunes clash with the students of another school in front of this beautiful church in Sai Kung. The building's striking exterior and the boys' clothes create a really nice color palette.

In the Line of Duty 3 - Harbour City

In the Line of Duty 3 offers a closer look at Harbour City's entrance area with Fujioka Hiroshi doing some Parkour on Canton Road.

Bloodsport - Nathan Road

Agile Van Damme vaulting over obstacles on Nathan Road in front of The Peninsula Hotel. His insistent but physically weaker persecutors Forest Whitaker and Norman Burton can't keep up with him.

In the Line of Duty 3 - Lippo Centre

A nice shot of Lippo Centre's futuristic entrance area with some double deckers passing on Queensway.

Dragons Forever - Victoria Harbour

A motorboat passes the waters of famous Victoria Harbour. Jackie Chan and Pauline Yeung are on their way to the yacht. The upgrowth of Hong Kong Island's skyline since 1988 is quite impressive.

Cynthia Khan and Fujioka Hiroshi approaching Hong Kong Island the nautical way. The iconic skyline went through a few changes since 1988.

Dragons Forever - YKK Hong Kong Limited

Iron Angels (1987) already features some nice shots of this location at night-time. Sammo Hung's classic Dragons Forever (1988) gives us the opportunity to enjoy the striking colours and architecture of YKK's exterior in daylight.
