Peninsula - Gang Dong-won (2020) - Victoria Harbour

Next up is this 2020 Korean semi-sequel (i.e. same universe, different characters) to Train to Busan starring Gang Dong-won. Gang plays a former soldier whose family is affected by the zombie virus as they are making their escape from South Korea to Hong Kong via a refugee ship. Fast forward to now as he and his brother-in-law are living in squalor as refugees in Hong Kong and are given the chance to return to the Korean peninsula to retrieve a shipment of gold, abandoned in-situ as the zombies took hold.

The initial Hong Kong sequences are establishing shots only and I don't think any on-location filming of the actors took place, but feel free to let me know if this is not the case. First up is the initial establishing shot to show where the protagonists are currently located. It's a nice colourful shot of the harbour looking towards Hong Kong Island.
