I have a big thank you to say to Dan who writes the excellent Hong Kong On Film blog and actually sent me a copy of this film.
A quick summary: Bud Spencer (real name Carlo  Pedersoli, who sadly died in June 2016) plays a surly and burly Napoli cop, Rizzo, who has a penchant for  smacking people on the top of their heads with his fist in order to  subdue them. He is framed by a cop traitor and has to chase various bad  guys around the world (in this case Italy, obviously, Bangkok and Hong  Kong and Macau) to prove his innocence and catch the bad guy. Obviously  we shall focus on the Hong Kong and Macau scenes for this blog but if  anyone is interested in Bangkok in 1975 then it's probably also well  worth a look.
Anyway, the opening Hong Kong scene (when Rizzo first arrives in HK from  Thailand) is a panning helicopter shot high above the harbour. The scene  lasts for quite sometime and takes in an almost 360 degree view so we  get a good look at the whole area.

I don't deserve your nice words..I have too much to learn about blogging, about locations...etc, How I wish I could write & explain the pics as you do!
Looking forward more entries about the locations of this movie.
Great work Phil and thanks from me to Jesus, as well, for bringing this film to our attention...
Of course you do Jesus! I would say you are doing a damn fine job with your Golden Ninjas. :-)
