The film starts with their wedding which was shot at the St Margaret Mary's Church in Happy Valley, it's the same location that we saw in Rich and Famous a couple of years back.

She Shoots Straight - Joyce Godenzi (1990) - St Margaret Mary's Church, Happy Valley
The next film is another local one, this time from 1990, She Shoots Straight starring Joyce Godenzi (the future Mrs Sammo Hung) as Police Inspector Mina Kao (Mina is Godenzi's real middle name) who marries into a police family and faces a little bit of push back from her husband's younger sister, Ling (Carina Lau), because of her mixed-race (Godenzi is Eurasian in real-life). A Vietnamese gang, led by Yuen Wah, is running rampant in Hong Kong and following an incident at a nightclub where one of them is killed, they take revenge on the police by killing Kao's husband, Bo (Tony Leung Ka-fai). All bets are off as Kao and Ling put aside their conflict and join together to take revenge on the gang.

Rich and Famous - Chow Yun Fat (1987) - St Margaret Mary's Church, Happy Valley
Ah Chai and Carina get married at St Margaret Mary's Church (often abbreviated to just "St Margaret's") on Broadwood Road in Happy Valley. The long set of stone steps up to the churchs front making a great location for a bit of a brawl and Yung and his hired, Filipino hitmen start shooting indisciminately.
