Flatfoot in Hong Kong - Bud Spencer (1975) - Avenida Da Republica, Macau

Now we move the action over to Macau and one of our first shots is taken from the praya overlooking the channel between the Macau Peninsular and (what was) Taipa Island and the bridge linking the two: Ponte Governador Nobre De Carvalho.


These days the view is now obscured by the reclamation that has created the Sai Van Lake and the Macau Tower but everything else has stayed put including the low wall with its drain holes which can be seen in the top shot.

Of course at the end of this bridge on the peninsular side is the famous, original, Lisboa Hotel and casino - owned and run by Stanley Ho (well, actually now that his family has divided his interests up between them, strictly speaking all he does these days is dribble from the corner of his mouth and get his catheter bag emptied every once in a while). And so here we see it through the drivers windscreen (just to the left of the dude's head).
