Cosa Nostra Asia - Chris Mitchum (1974) - Hong Kong Harbour

The story flits from (supposedly) Chicago to Hong Kong as various gang members travel between the two places. However, all subsequent scenes with the actors supposedly in Hong Kong were actually filmed in Taiwan. This just leaves us with a variety of establishing shots that may or may not have been shot specifically for the movie. Our first one is a view across the harbour from the Peak. Unfortunately the picture quality means there isn't much detail to see as the camera starts with a view of the old Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter before panning down towards Central on Hong Kong Island.
