Miracles - Jackie Chan (1989) - Shaw's Movietown, Sai Kung

Miracles was shot during 1988 (and various behind-the-scenes moments were captured on Jonathan Ross's excellent The Incredibly Strange Film Show) and released in 1989. Being a period film (set during the 1930's) meant utilising locations that had a feel for that time, so great use was made of older parts of Macau and additionally, a huge set was constructed at Shaw's Movietown in Clearwater Bay.

1988 was a time when Shaws had largely moved away from films and into television and as such the huge backlot at the old studios was leased out to others wishing to take advantage of the large and reasonably remote (in HK terms at least) studio backlot. The main street from the film, seen below, was constructed entirely at Movietown.
