Despite the old airport being shut down in 1998, the land it was on basically remained derelict for the best part of the next 15 years or so as the Govt held their usual meetings about meetings regarding what to do with the site. In the meantime some film companies took advantage of this big open space and shot some movies on it. Remember that another French co-production,
Vengeance, shot a fair amount of action on the old runway.
Anyway, around the same time that
Vengeance was being filmed, so was this movie and the main location where Shitao has his little ramshackle shed was located on the old runway. A fair amount of footage was shot here including all the shed scenes when Shitao is doing his healing as well as the reverse car chase when Shawn Yue's policeman character spots the main baddie (played by Lee Byung-hun) leaving the area.
