Hapkido (1972) was shot almost entirely at the legendary Golden Harvest Studios. One of the few exceptions took the film crew to Shui Tau Tsuen, a 17th century village in Yuen Long. The building on the right is called Cheung Chun Yuen, a former martial arts school and ancestral hall. The house is now listed as a Grade I historic building. Grade I means "Buildings of outstanding merit, which every effort should be made to preserve if possible".
The place where Mars tries to poison Sammo Hung aka Frog. Yup Hiu Pavilion is located right next to the path that leads up to Tsing Shan Monastery.
Sammo Hung and his Five Stars Cleaning Crew happily stroll along the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom Bay, Kowloon. The building was inaugurated in April 1983, Winners and Sinners was released three months later. Accordingly, this was probably the stadium's first appearance on the big screen.
This masterpiece needs no introduction. Sammo Hung's and Lau Kar-Wing's martial arts weaponry at its very best. Just like The 36 Deadly Styles, Odd Couple was released in 1979. If you lived near Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall at that time, you had a good chance to watch some of the best kung fu actors of all times live at work.
