The Angel Strikes Again - Lily Ho (1968) - Kai Tak Airport

Some more Shaw nostalgia for this next film, The Angel Strikes Again, released on 30th May 1968. I believe it's a sequel to Angel with the Iron Fists released the previous year and features Lily Ho Li-li returning as agent 009, an Interpol agent who has been tasked with tracking down a gang who specialise in extorting money from companies in return for not blowing up their stuff. The movie sets the scene with some of the gang members placing their miniature explosives on a plane so we see a very nice panning shot of the area around the airport as the scene is established.
