Karate from Shaolin Temple - Kazuma Kenji (1976) - Diamond Hill Cemetery, Kowloon

The cemetery at Diamond Hill features in several scenes of this movie although this was before it underwent a massive modernisation and many of the graves on the lower slopes (near to what is now Po Kong Village Road) were removed/relocated for the construction of new columbarium and crematorium buildings (that can be seen here). This movie was also shot prior to the hill - the "Diamond Hill" that gives the area its name - being removed to make way for what is now a cluster of schools and the Po Kong Village Road Park. Hong Kong is big on preserving names, but physical things...not so much.
