Bloodsport 1988 had a scene in the Kowloon Walled City

I think it and the Japanese footage is the only known film from inside?

A good excuse as any to re/watch a classic movie.




There's some BBC footage from Wicker's World where Alan Wicker is walking through the city and talking to local people.

He actually refers to an older documentary he made where his team were basically run out of the city by some local triads.

Kumite! Kumite! Kumite!


No - see my comment elsewhere - there was a runthru video made of the city. I remember watching it on youtube or vimeo; not sure if it still exists to watch, tho.


Crime Story (1993) has a scene filmed in the abandoned city before demolition.


Call of Duty: Black Ops has an extensive session in Kowloon Walled City.
