Next up is a Filipino/Singaporean co-production that filmed in the Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong. Although the Hong Kong scenes are brief, at least the lead actor, Marrie Lee, was actually here rather than the film just being a bunch of stock footage establishing shots.
The premise is that Singapore's top female agent, Cleopatra Wong, is called back from her holiday in Manila to deal with a counterfeit money organisation that seeks to release forged money into the economies of the various ASEAN members. So she infiltrates the gang to find their secrets before heading off to Hong Kong and then finally back to the Philippines for the film's finale involving men dressed as nuns sporting assault rifles.
The opening Hong Kong scene is the usual view of the harbour from the Peak area, panning across Wanchai. Note the top of the old AIA building in the first image. This has recently been demolished I understand (remember, I have been stuck in the UK for almost 6 months so haven't had a chance to see what is still standing since the pandemic struck).
Or for those who would like to see all these images stitched together, here is a reasonable attempt courtesy of Autostitch.
