Hong Kong Filming Locations: Infernal Affairs (2002)

Posted on May 14, 2012 by tokyofox

Like the majority of people in the western world I’d never heard of ‘Infernal Affairs‘ (2002) until ‘The Departed‘ (2006) came along. I even mistakenly rented out ‘Internal Affairs‘ (1990) starring Richard Gere before I got my hands on a … Continue reading →

Australia Filming Locations #2: The Matrix (1999)

Posted on April 25, 2012 by tokyofox

Can’t say I ever cared too much for this 1999 film but it does have some great action scenes which in some ways compensate for the “as if!” moments. Even though it doesn’t reference Sydney that is where most of … Continue reading →

Australia Filming Locations #1 – Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)

Posted on April 19, 2012 by tokyofox

‘M:I-2‘ as it was officially titled is probably the worst of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ films but that’s not to say that it’s bad. It’s just that John Woo’s direction of the sequel grates with me a bit because of all … Continue reading →

For a lot of British people their images of suburban Australia life are based solely on how the residents of Ramsay Street spend their lives in ‘Neighbours‘. This soap opera has been on the air since 1986 and I saw … Continue reading →

Australia 2012 Pt III: Alice Springs

Posted on April 2, 2012 by tokyofox

Back in 2001-02 I spent a year travelling around Australia with the emphasis very much placed on the word ‘around’ meaning that I never bothered to go to the centre. With the exchange rate half that of eleven years ago … Continue reading →
