Police Story - Jackie Chan (1985) - Sui Wo Road, Fo Tan
The bus chase ends with Jackie using a passersby's car to create a roadblock and makes the bus come to an abrupt stop and throw its occupants through the windows. If, like me, you grew up with Jonathan Ross's "Son of the Incredibly Strange Film Show" playing on a loop in the VCR, then you'll know that this was one of the film's stunts gone wrong. The guys were supposed to land on the "specially prepared car but instead landed in hospital" to quote (probably inaccurately, it's been a few years since I watched it) Jonathan Ross. Anyway, the scene was shot on Sui Wo Road in the hills above the Fotan industrial estate. Once again, a big credit to Daniel Thomas of Hong Kong on Film who was the first to locate the road way back when, and of course Andi has been up there for the great then/now comparison shots for Hong Kong Movie Tours.
