Magic Crystal - Former Police Marine Headquarters

The Former Police Marine Headquarters Compound (completed in 1884) is a declared monument as it is one of the four oldest surviving government buildings in Hong Kong. Of course, it's striking exterior has often been used as a filming location. If you want to see it from the other side then check out my posts about She Shoots Straight.

Mercenaries from Hong Kong - Hopewell Centre

Some of Hong Kong's most legendary screenfighters duke it out at Hopewell Centre.

The scenes at the circular area were filmed on the 17th floor. The staircase scenes were shot one level below.
