‘The Man With the Golden Gun‘ (1974) doesn’t follow the original novel too closely as that was set in Jamaica whereas the film is located in the Far East. It is a fairly entertaining story for a number of reasons; … Continue reading →

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)

One of the places I was most interested in seeing in Sydney was not the Opera House, nor the Harbour Bridge. Instead I really wanted to see the church where Muriel Heslop (Toni Collette) got married in ‘Muriels Wedding‘ (1994) which … Continue reading →
