Stony Beach near Pacific View/American Club [????- ]

Submitted by philk on Tue, 10/29/2024 - 21:06

A nameless (as far as I know) stony beach located below Pacific View in Tai Tam Bay. Largely famous because it was a filming location for Enter the Dragon (1973).

It was previously easily accessed via a staircase through the grounds of Pacific View, but it appears that the residents have complained and access to the steps is now restricted to residents only. You can still access (at the moment) by walking down the catchwater on the north side of the development.

I figured I should start off with my favourite film because it's also the film that got me interested in Chinese culture and, ultimately, has led to me being in Hong Kong - albeit indirectly.

It was made in 1973 as a joint production between Golden Harvest and Warner Bros and was the first such international co-production. It cost US$800,000 to make - making it one of the highest grossing films of all time (relative to cost). It was eventually released in August of 1973 and shot Bruce Lee to international stardom, though he had actually already died in July 1973.
