Sam Hui aka The Crying Freeman increases the bodycount in the middle of Central Hong Kong. I am not the biggest fan of wirework, but I really enjoy Dragon from Russia's floating wire-fu movements in this sharp-edged modern world setting. HSBC's cold structure is as videogenic as ever.

Dragon from Russia - St. John's Cathedral
Another mysterious encounter between Maggie Cheung and the masked killer Sam Hui. This time in front of St. John's Cathedral at Garden Road, Central HK. The church is the oldest surviving Western ecclesiastical building in Hong Kong, and the oldest Anglican church in the Far East.
Dragon from Russia - The Peninsula Hong Kong
The Pensinsula Hotel can be seen in many movies. Showing actors arriving and/or leaving there. But this time we get to see an intricate action scene in front of the famous building's entrance.
