The Fate of Lee Khan - Tien Feng (1973) - Whitehead Point, Ma On Shan

We were at this location not so long ago for Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, but here is the old quarry (assuming that's what it was, but actually I can't find any record of quarrying here) at Whitehead Point. This is the only other outdoor location utilised on this film and is where most of the outdoor action takes place, including the final fight between the rebels and Lee Khan.

The screencaps below are from various stages of the film, but I have ordered them so that the initial ones below show some of the identifiable background terrain that proves where we are looking (for the doubters), and the rest are just general shots inside the quarry area that show off some of the geographical features.

Looking SSE, Ngau Ngak Shan in the background
Looking almost directly south towards Tiu Shau Ngam
Ngau Ngak Shan again
Bottom right is the distant Kai Kung Shan (also see 3rd image here)
Again, looking east towards Kai Kung Shan

The rest of the screencaps are difficult to locate in terms of where they were inside the quarry area and perhaps I can do a later post where I can pinpont all these with more accuracy (although the last one shows Pat Sin Leng poking out from behind in the distance). For now though it's just some general views. Following on from its use as a filming location, it dropped out of favour when the Whitehead Point Vietnamese refugee camp was constructed.
