Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Shek Kong

Agent 009 and sidekick head up in a small plane to try and find the escaping horse truck. The first aerial images we see are of the Sek Kong runway and surrounding area.

Young People - David Chiang (1972) - Shek Kong Airfield, Kam Tin

The final bonding event for the new found friends is a Go-kart race around the air strip at Shek Kong in the New Territories. It turns out these were indeed a real thing. I suspect that the film crew hijacked a real event and perhaps shot a few crowd scenes with real crowds before filming their own race sequences in closer detail.

A Lotus for Miss Quon - Lang Jeffries (1967) - Shek Kong Airfield, Shek Kong

I'm due another sojourn back to the UK next week, so before this blog goes idle until November, here is my last post on this film A Lotus for Miss Quon. Fittingly it's also the last scene in the film as everything gets resolved (for better or worse) as Mark Jason tries to make his escape to Hong Kong via helicopter.

Ultraviolet - Milla Jovovich (2006) - Clarence Studios, Shek Kong

To round up this quick and easy set of locations from Ultraviolet here is one that wouldn't be obvious unless you worked on the film. I have Jude Poyer (of Reel Power Stunts) to thank for this post as it was he who clued me in as to where it was shot. Jude should know because he played the part of one of the sword-wielding hemophages that attack Violet inside the Church. It's a scene that has elements clearly taken from a Lone Wolf and Cub film - if you're familiar you'll know what I mean - but has some cracking sword play.

The church interior, supposedly within the Parsee Cemetery, was filmed in a small film studio called 嘉龍片場 (Ga Lung Pin Cheung) or Clarence Studios to give its English name. I had never heard of this place but Jude tells me he filmed various TV commercials there when he was based in HK as well as a few scenes from the The Medallion.

Anyway, if you're a film fan and ever want to go over and have a nose it is along the Kam Tin Road near the Shek Kong airfield. You can't miss it because it has a massive great big dinosaur skull at the entrance. Anyway, once again many thanks to Jude.
