One of the key actions sequences of the film occurs when Jason and his girlfriend (Miss Quon played by Francesca Tu) tries to hot foot it over the "border". Seeing as this story is set in Vietnam I am unsure which border it is (take your pick from China, Laos, Cambodia) but the plan is foiled by guerrillas who launch an attack on them and the border police as they just manage to cross. They're targeted because they are driving a US Embassy diplomatic vehicle, not because the attackers knew who they were. Anyway, this scene was shot around the main dam wall at Kowloon Reservoir (we had some similar action here for
A Queen's Ransom).
They approach the border from Tai Po Road end, but then are filmed driving the opposite way over the dam wall (i.e. back towards the section they were on in the first two images).
Police hut (it gets blown up by guerrillas) at the eastern end of the dam

Jojo (Sal Borgese) watches it all from back up the hill near Tai Po Road
