The Suspect 용의자 - Gong Yoo (2013) - Woosung Street, Kowloon

The final Hong Kong-shot scene for this film involves the sequence when the two bad guys decide to sell Ji Gong-jul's daughter to Chinese human-traffickers. The exchange takes place on Woosung Street in Yau Ma Tei. The key identifiers here are the sign for the 合興火鍋 hot pot restaurant in the background of the top image (blue/red sign in the distance), followed by the outdoor restaurants that can be seen on the right in the second image. They are located where Woosung and Temple Streets are intersected by Pak Hoi Street.

The Suspect 용의자 - Gong Yoo (2013) - Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, Hong Kong

After quietly abandoning his enemy on board the wrecked ship in the harbor, and knowing that he has been abandoned on his mission, Ji Dong-chul (Gong Yoo) does a runner, well a swimmer really. This brief scene, shot in the typhoon shelter shows him making his escape by swimming away. After this he is recaptured by the North and tortured whilst learning about his family being killed. There is a brief snippet of him swimming away, but something tells me it wasn't filmed here and was most likely added later from the comfort of cleaner water.

The Suspect 용의자 - Gong Yoo (2013) - Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

Next up - a quicky. One of those films that briefly moves into Hong Kong for a minor part of the story whereas most of the film takes place elsewhere. In this case it's South Korea and The Suspect (용의자).

It's a 2013 film about a former North Korean soldier (Gong Yoo) who defects to the south in order to find out who killed his family. Working as a driver for a wealthy and well-known industrialist, he gets caught up in a murder plot and is deliberately accused of the killing in order to hide the true reason for the assassination. I've included it here because there is a small sub-plot involving a secret mission in Hong Kong that backfired and was the previous occasion when the two main protagonists met up on opposite sides of the mission.

Anyway, that main scene takes place on an abandoned ship in the middle of Victoria Harbour. Judging from things I would expect to see, I think the scene was shot using green screen with real footage of Hong Kong island in the background. The film definitely had some on-location camera work done, as you'll see in the following couple of posts but this key shot, perhaps with the exception of the close-ups (top two images), seem to be CGI.

If the close-ups were shot on-location (I honestly can't tell either way), then the angle on the buildings in the background suggest they were shot at the TST waterfront - close to the old KCR clocktower.
