Bloodfight - Yasuaki Kurata (1989) - Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei

For the neon light fans out there - sadly mostly now replaced by LED or otherwise completely removed, just like everything else that made Hong Kong special - here is a brief night sequence. I thought these lights seemed familiar, and it turns out they were. Check out this post for Powaqqatsi. But here's the thing, the Powaqqatsi footage was a year or so before this film, but appears to be more up to date (it shows the "New Buckingham Nightclub"), so I can only conclude that this Bloodfight footage is older, borrowed/licensed footage.
