During the opening credits there is a nice long panning shot of the Hong Kong harbour front that begins at the old Furama Hotel (now AIG Tower) and ends with the China Insurance Group Building centre screen (that's the slim dark building in the middle of the fifth image). Just in the first image below there are six major buildings that no longer exist: Hutchinson House, the Furama, Sunderland House, HK Club, Hilton Hotel and the HSBC building, so you can imagine how much more change has occurred along that whole stretch of waterfront since this shot was filmed.
I managed to stitch the whole sequence together into a reasonable panorama. Click on the image below to zoom in.
