The scenes of the whole movie are basically set in Hong Kong, and there are many common Hong Kong elements, such as neon lights and piers, among which the neon signs are very eye-catching, and some shots are even dedicated to these signs. Although many of them have been demolished, what can be seen in past photos is a common scene for Hong Kong people in the past. Shooting at night can enhance the contrast of the entire film.

I found a picture of a place like the place where the final battle of the film takes place, both near Thomson Road, and that road is an avenue and an alley. This alley in the movie is very oppressive due to the movement of the mirror, night shooting, and shaking effects, but it is not so in reality.

In the film, this kind of bright and bright signboard sets off the life of Hong Kong’s drunken fans, and hints at the desires of Hong Kong people at that time. The fighting part of the whole play often uses the shaking of the scene to create a chaotic effect, and for the close-up parts of the death of different villains, there are basically scenes, such as the street, for environmental shooting, and the last scene of Kwan’s death is especially true, A rough portrait of the surrounding people was also made.
When Kwan died, he ran out of the dark alley, ran onto the bright pedestrian street in Wan Chai, and was shot to death in the light. This part is very much in line with the contrast in the movie, when the villain dies in the light when he thinks he is going to escape, and the protagonist finally turns around and leaves after witnessing the death of Kwan in the dark alley. The purpose of this part of the presentation is to make the film appear more impactful and visually appealing to the audience.
