Kung Fu Killers - Grant Page (1974) - St Paul's Church Facade, Macau

No trip to Macau is complete without checking out the old church ruins. So here is a picture of Grant Page checking it out...

...Yep, still looks buggered...


There's a reasonable amount of tourists on the steps in the last shot, however, compared to today  this looks positively peaceful.

Ferry to Hong Kong - Curt Jurgens (1959) - St Paul's Church Facade, Macau

Macau's most famous landmark features in the next part of the funeral procession as they pass the facade of the fire-destroyed church of St Paul's.


If you have ever been to Macau then you will most probably have seen this close up. All I can say about it is that the steps in front tend to be chock-full of Mainland Tourists these days (Chow Tai Fook are really missing a trick here).

Noble House (Mini series) - Pierce Brosnan (1988) - St Paul's Church Facade, Macau

Moving over to Macau, when Dunross and Tcholok head out to supposedly visit Lando Mata in his Macau retreat (which was in fact located in Shek O on HK Island). Anyway, it's a good excuse for the film makers to give us some of the main sights in Macau including perhaps its most famous facade of St Pauls.



The eighties was still a time when you could still get a clear view of the place before the thousands of Mainland Tourists turned up and chaos ensued. These days the place is so busy it's unbelievable.
