The Black Dragon's Revenge - Ronnie Van Clief (1975) - Kai Tak Airport, Kowloon

As the story moves (officially) to Hong Kong, we see a KLM plane approach and land on the famous old runway of Kai Tak airport. The camera uses an interesting angle and one I don't think has been used before. Anyway, one for the aviation buffs needing an injection of Kai Tak nostalgia.


This last image is, of course, a close up of the old terminal building and car park seen from the west looking almost directly east. The white section at the bottom was used previously on The Million Eyes of Sumuru as the exit for passengers heading to the car park. I'm not sure if this was its actual function but you can see a close up in this grab from that film.
