In a first for the blog I have finally tracked down a copy of the Indian film,
Aegan, which has been on my to do list for quite some time, and then subsequently forgotten about. Luckily someone has uploaded it to
Youtube in HD and I can now look at the Hong Kong-shot scenes that occur at the beginning of the movie. Don't ask me to explain the plot, I'm not a big fan of Indian cinema - there's just too much singing and dancing for my liking - but in general it's about some sort of supercop called Shiva (Ajith Kumar) who is sent back to school to protect a VIP whilst also looking for a wanted criminal (I think). I have no idea what the Hong Kong scene has to do with the main plot other than to showcase Shiva's expert fighting skills as he takes out a HK-based Indian gangster called Iqbal.
Anyway, the sequence kicks off with the kidnapping of a Chinese businessman at the podium garden in East TST. This place was repurposed as the "Garden of Stars" whilst the "Avenue of Stars" was being refurbished, but has since returned to just a normal ornamental HK-style open space (garden is always a very generous term for these places in HK).
