Flash Point - Donnie Yen (2007) - Central, Hong Kong

Next up in the local film category is Donnie Yen's Flash Point. I know he's not flavour of the month these days but there are some good locations included. The film is set pre-handover and stars Yen as Inspector Ma, a maverick whose violent methods would probably be more acceptable in today's Hong Kong. He works with an undercover partner (Louis Koo) who has managed to infiltrate a rather ruthless Vietnamese gang led by three brothers (Collin Chou, Ray Lui and Xing Yu).

The film starts with some shots around Central as Ma drives around in his car. The first image shows afew of the buildings located in Central including Jardine House, IFC 2 and Exchange Square. The second twoimages show the former temporary fun fair that was located on the waterfront on an empty plot of land that became the new Govt headquarters and Tamar Park.
