Hitman - Jet Li (1998) - Citic Tower, Central

Next up is a late 90s action comedy starring Jet Li and Eric Tsang and is directed by Stephen Tung Wai. It stars Jet as "Fu", a mainland Chinese immigrant trying to find his way in Hong Kong and getting mixed up in the after effects of the assassination of a nefarious Japanese businessman. Well aware he was a major target for killers, he set up a fund to be given to whoever can revenge his murder. Fu is a wannabe hitman with a heart of gold who just wants some money to build his mum a house back in China.

The film starts with the assassination by the "Killing Angel" - a do-gooder who offs horrible people for free because the world is generally a better place without them. The attack takes place at the Tsukamoto HQ in Hong Kong, the exterior for which is provided by the Citic Centre in Central.
