The Blood Brothers - David Chiang (1973) - Shaw's Movietown

It wouldn't be a Shaw movie without a trip to one of the outdoor sets built on the old Movietown lot. Actually, there are a couple of places here worth showing.The first is the "permanent" built-set of a Chinese street that was used a copious amount of times for Shaw productions as well as overseas productions in need of some traditional style architecture as a backdrop. Secondly, Shaw's had space at the back of the lot which they used for temporary set construction. It was the area we see in the second image with the view over Port Shelter and Shelter Island in the background. All that area has since been taken over by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
