V.I.P - Jang Dong-gun (2017) - View over Hong Kong

V.I.P (Very Important Person) is a South Korean crime thriller that centres around the chase and capture of a young creepy looking serial killer (played by Lee Jong-suk) who is able to evade the consequences of his actions by the virtue of being the son of a high ranking North Korean official.

Although most of the action is based in South Korea, there are some "Hong Kong" scenes. This means that the beginning and end points of the film are set in Hong Kong but the actual proper on location footage is fairly limited, with most of the HK action actually being filmed in Korea with some scenery dressing to give the impression we are in Hong Kong.

Anyway, the film opens with a Korean Intelligence agent, played by Jang Dong-gun, catching a flight to Hong Kong. He takes a peak out of the window just before he lands and we get a brief glimpse of a familiar sight to anyone who has had the fortune to fly into Hong Kong on a clear night.
