The Man from Hong Kong (1975)
Brilliantly photographed by 2 Academy Award Winners
Both the DOP Russell Boyd and his assistant on the film, John Seales, went on to win Academy Awards; Boyd for 'Master and Commander' and Seales for 'The English Patient'.
For a film with a budget of $550,000 ($50,000 of which paid for the rights to the theme song Sky High)the production values are very high.
Also great to see some wonderful views of Hong Kong in 1975 in the credits sequence. Much of the Victoria Harbor water fronts on both Kowloon and Hong Kong sides have subsequently been reclaimed and extended into the harbor. The tall white building on the waterfront with the round windows is Jardine House which is now approx. 250 meters from the new shoreline.
