[@fellow456]

@@AccentedCinema it sounds like the audio cuts out early at the very end? Thanks for the video though.

[@ArchOfWinter]

I used to live in Sai Wan Ho and is still baffled by the capacity of the station. Even during rush hours, the escalators felt under utilized. The station feels more empty than it should compared to other stations despite having the same amount of people using it.

[@stuntmonkey00]

I really appreciate the gentle way you told "our people" that Chungking Mansions isn't that scary and is just ordinary people living their lives.

[@PhryneMnesarete]

I visited Hong Kong as a child, in the 90s. I don’t remember much of it. I remember the noise, and the crowds, and how soft and hazy the neon lights were, like glowing pink and blue and golden clouds. I don’t know how much of my memories are real and how much is made up of movies and photos I’ve seen. It is strange to think that the Hong Kong of my memories no longer exists.

[@AccentedCinema]

It was quite disappointing to realize how many locations are no longer there. Goldfinch restaurant, in particular, was the biggest disappointment. A search of it online brings up many articles about visiting the place. Articles about its closure is few and far between. It's like it quietly went away and no one noticed.

[@H0mework]

I remember how hot and sweaty it felt, and usually in the daytime. I don't watch as much Asian media so I mainly think of Doraemon or the dramas of the 3 kingdoms at least from my childhood. Hong Kong films I associate with gangster and nighttime movies

[@boxingelfis1499]

​​@@AccentedCinema This is probably really obvious and unnecessary for me to say, but just in case; something that I feel helps to keep in my mind when we find ourselves missing nostalgic sights or sites that hold memories, is that more often than not, it's people who create moments that give places meaning. Whether it's choosing to observe the neon lights and the crowds with a friend, lover, or simply on your own, or watching a movie that has the most immersive direction that transports you. Your experiences and how you experienced them are what made these places special and as you said, life continues. Which means that new moments can be created amidst all these changing places that; though not the same as what once was, are special all the same. Which is why we shouldn't let the story just end with our disappointment on how times are changing, but instead strive to make new chapters in whatever way we can, so that we can look back just as fondly. Edit: Not to mention, it's always a blessing that we got to experience these places either indirectly or directly, which deserves a happy pat on the back or on the shoulder in case one is feeling especially down.

[@vincentng2392]

Neon lights are now gradually taken down.

[@kamijounotouma4686]

Wait so its not a nostalgic filter in the video?? This reminds me of old photos having a blueish haze because of indoor smoking

[@mj6115]

I'm a working class man from the UK, and I'll probably never have enough money to go to Hong Kong. Fallen Angels has been one of my favourite films since I was a teenager, thank you for making a film tour of the city. 🙏 👍

[@gracea33]

How did you even discover the film....that sounds like a story.

[@errgo2713]

To be brutally honest, @mj6115, the HK you know from cinema is dead and gone, thanks to the NSL. You are not missing much any more.

[@bernok2002]

As a person who born and lives in HK for essentially 20 years, this is pretty much true. The once unique HK with those neon signs are nothing more than a fading memory... Wish they still have some more ways to preserve such traits. Great video too!!!

[@CraigNixon]

I luckily got to visit HK in 2013. Ate in the Goldfinch restaurant. Explored Chungking Mansions. Rode the escalator. Saw lots of neon. Was gutted when I tried to find Midnight Express and the California bar to find them gone. Looks like HK has changed a lot, even over only 10 years. Glad WKW immortalised these on camera. Thanks for the video! Wonderful work as always.

[@endingalaporte]

My family lives in Hong Kong, my mom emmigrated to Europe and I grew up here. Each time I go to HK, I feel hate and love at the same time. This place is filled with emotions, british colonialism, ultra capitalism, the cantonese, hardship of locals, the lights and small spaces of Hong Kongers... This place lies in my heart

[@sourlimerick]

Do you know Seoul by RM? Even though it’s about Seoul, I think it encapsulates the contradictory feelings of love and hate ppl have towards cities they call home. Your comment just reminded me of it :)

[@djbaba23]

This was a superb video. Still, by far, one of the best YT channels. Thank you for all the beautiful videos you have created!

[@ghostlightning]

This was beautiful and painful. Hong Kong was the first place I got to visit outside my own country (the Philippines) on honeymoon back in December 2006, I've revisited with my wife two more times the following year. And thus, it has always been my city of love, not in the least made more meaningful due to my own Cantonese heritage. The second visit I remember the highlight being the climb up the mid-level escalators. It's a shame I watched WKW's oeuvre after these visits and I've never been to since. All things change and come to pass, but I think I'll enjoy looking at our old photos from 18 years ago. My neon dreams will take longer to fade away.

[@irfan8702]

The production of this video to the rooof. And dont feel bad if this video doesnt pop in the first 24hr. It takes time for this one. I love it

[@chengchengli2737]

This must be the most romantic YT video I've seen this year. Thank you for making this!

[@grammarnazi12]

This was the HK of my parents' youth and of my own childhood memories. Going back now is both exciting and painful - fragments of the city I remember (and to an extent, romanticize) remain, however the physical changes are to me a reflection of how much this beloved city has changed politically, economically and culturally from its heyday in the 80s & 90s. Thank you to WKW for immortalizing that version of HK in his films, and to Accented Cinema for this nostalgic video taking me down memory lane once again.

[@Yokaix73]

Thank you for visiting and showing us these iconic places! You don't know how badly I needed to see this. I'm loving this new type of content your making now.

[@HotPotato-r9s]

Hello. I went around Hong Kong using your video as a guide and it was the best! Thank you for making this. I love Wong Kar Wai and your video made my trip.

[@KateAoyama]

My father used to work in HK for about 2 years in the mid-2000s. I was in high school then. Every school holiday, I would go visit my father. I love those small, narrow streets markets. Seeing your video made me want to go there again. However, I was told that HK has changed so much since then.

[@taionalmeida5337]

I would never forget how shockinly was to watch Chunking Express, made in Hong Kong in the early 90's, and look how much a lot of the movie resemble's the appearence of some places here where I live - Belém do Pará, the city that will hold the COP-30 next year. Whatching that cinephile tour for locations it sort of strike me - these places that resembles has the same function and meaning = places for everyday people lives goes on Popular residences, open markets, streets that conect places where people work hard everiday. Thats what I find most beautifull on Wong Kar Wai movies - he turns everiday locations etereal and universal. Lovely vid ❤

[@MsAccidentallyhere]

Wow, I'm amazed to find your comment here. I don't know anyone from Belem. As someone who will have to be there for COP-30 I'm honestly terrified. I heard there are only 4 hotels in Belem, is it true? How will the government fit 60-90,000 people onto a couple of cruise ships? Will the locals do what Glasgow did and rent rooms in their homes? That would be nice but I have not heard anyone going for that option first. Colleagues from Brazil warned us that security could be an issue... Would love to connect with you somehow.

[@masomenos-yt]

Not much of a movie guy myself these days but your videos are always fantastic to watch, I love to see people nerding out on their passion. More in topic to the video, I got in love with Hong Kong thanks to the videogame Sleeping Dogs. Some people write it off as a "low-budget GTA" or "We have Yakuza at home", but it's actually a beautiful and carefully crafted love letter from Canadian developers to Hong Kong's action cinema in playable form. Seriously, it's criminally underrated!

[@sunhopii8534]

A video on my favourite director! I'm so excited!! Wong kar wai really did make living in Hong Kong seem way more dreamy and romantic than it actually is lol, glad you got to visit this little city! Amazing work as always :)

[@TalaySeedam]

I grew up watching Wong Kar-wai's movies, and the Hong Kong captured in them will always be a part of my life. Thank you for bringing us back to it.

[@elucified]

Beautiful capture of a time gone by... used to visit HK with parents when I was a kid once every few years for summer vacay. Those memories still live on for me, but more and more so in my head and no longer in reality. HK has changed a lot... 🥲

[@Towkeeyoh]

Man, love how you come up with these ideas for videos

[@Asummersdaydreamer14]

I love how film inspires such sincere yet dorky actions like visiting a certain street or building because it was featured in a movie that changed your life or looked cool af Also, I appreciate the Tony Leung appreciation lol

Sigh. Looks like I'll be having to save up for another HK trip. Love your videos as always AC!

[@aisheedyutiroy5454]

Yes was waiting for this video! Coincidentally watched a 4K remaster of Days of Being Wild at the Honolulu Museum of Art this afternoon

[@BaiLong45]

An excellent video! As someone who lived and worked in Hong Kong from the early to mid 2010s, I'd walk a lot through HK. I passed through many of the spots you mentioned and enjoyed them for their unique designs and the liveliness. Didn't realize they were that famous! The McDonald's I went to in TST was in a Wong Kar Wai film! I wonder if the the KFC ended up in one of them too 😁. The last narration was poignant. Much has changed in HK since Wong Kar Wai filmed those 90s movies. I can't believe that the singers and performers along Victoria Harbour are gone now! Things changed before many of us visited or lived there and much has changed since we left. But Hong Kong is still Hong Kong. Thank you for reminding us of that.

[@skbananau]

Thank you for such a wonderful video essay. Thank you for highlighting the wonders of HK cinema and how it intertwines with Hong Kong people as a whole. Like you said, we can't live in the past, but we can smile at what we have become.

[@moniquemcintosh5752]

This is so beautiful. I can't thank you enough for this. It's like revisiting memories of places I've never been too. :)

I love won kar wai movies❤❤❤ and Hong Kong history thanks for the tour 😊

[@d.whiteman5634]

Beautifully done. Thank you for doing this - both as someone who loves WKW's films, but also as a Canadian who's family came from HK. I really appreciate how your video is like a love letter both to WKW and to the old HK.

[@brandonabby9048]

Hello from a fellow Montrealer and Wong Kar Wai fan who just returned from HK... wish I had seen your great video before... I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you for great content!

[@kkfvjk]

This is such a treat! I was looking at photos of the city of Kowloon recently, and like with WKW's movies there's something seductive and romantic in its grittiness. But as you said, it's people's homes and businesses. Conditions change, hopefully for the better, and life goes on. Three cheers for childless dilf tony leung 🎉

[@distortilla]

A place I've never been to yet long for like I never left.

[@saltimbanque2000]

I love how cinematic this videos is, great watch. (Also it reminded me how beautiful In the Mood for Love is and I grabbed a copy from the library for a rewatch.)

[@arminvanbuuren883]

Ah such a beautiful video!! Nostalgic and wistful but also with hope for the future!

[@Dfblack2008]

That was a really cool tour, thank you!

[@RogueVideo]

I'm from Californa but was lucky to have my first "grown-up" job move me to Hong Kong for some years in the early 2010s. This video brought back a lot of memories, like going down the street to Goldfinch for lunch or taking a late late night taxi down the Cross-Harbour Tunnel back to Kowloon after a Friday night at LKF (very much the same early AM tunnel vibes as that scene in Fallen Angels). All this happened before I discovered Wong Kar Wai movies, which in a way I'm grateful to have experienced HK first, enhancing the movies for me. I try to visit every couple years as it'll always be one of my favorite places.

[@Deathsentenz]

Top tier KZbin content, keep it up! ❤

[@edwindungdung1998]

Excellent video, this took be back; I visited Hong Kong last year, and I spent so much time trying to find most places. I did miss going through the Cross-Harbour tunnel. But I'm glad of my very limited time over there, and I hope to return someday. This would've been so useful then.

[@andymarshall7621]

A really great ending, thank you for sharing this.

[@edkwon]

Great video, I recently saw the Parts Unknown ep where Anthony Bourdain hung out with cinematographer Christopher Doyle and they walked and talked on the same escalator

[@KIMNEE123]

Best episode ever, so far. Great job.

[@andrewliu9164]

Thanks for such a touching commentary on Hong Kong.

[@artirony410]

Perfect timing lol, I've been thinking about visiting Hong Kong in summer 2025 and I did something similar to this when I was in Taipei the first time where I went to the location of the old Fuhe Grand Theater that's featured in Goodbye Dragon Inn

[@JellyJimjam-he3tp]

I love your content. Thank you

[@johnta17]

Days of Being Wild is one of my favorite films of all time.

[@isabella3746]

Oh the Fallen Angel scene was from the Cross-Harbour Tunnel? I always thought that was the short tunnel between Jardine House and Landmark.

[@carloa877]

I can still smell the air seeing these scenes.

[@Mirai8]

Great video! I've been to HK about 6-7 times now, going again for New Year. Such an amazing place, being from one of the 5 boroughs of NY, it really reminds me of a home away from home.

[@drlukewhite]

Really evocative video. Wonderful as always. The Chungking Mansions scenes in Chungking Express were actually shot in Mirador Mansions, a very similar building just down the street!

[@mauryroblovich]

What a beautiful opening 🥰😍

[@descalzitao6779]

Ok this might be a kinda long commentary but I feel like this video was made for me. I already visited Hong Kong for my 18th birthday in 2019 as this was a lifelong dream of mine. and at the time I didn't knew Wong Kar Wai. In fact it was during my stay in Hong Kong that I learned about him : during my stay, I unknowingly booked a room in the dreaded Chungking Mansions and visiting it made me somewhat both terrified and obsessed with the place, so I tried looking up as much information as possible about it online, which made me discover Chungking Express. Once I came back to my homecountry of France, I decided to watch the movie, expecting a HK police thriller like the ones I liked, but instead was blown away by what I still consider to be the most beautiful movie ever made. In a way, you could say that this is the movie that really made me appeciate cinema as an art form. Luckily enough, just by the time I came back to Paris, the cinemas there were holding a WKW retrospective so I was able to see all of his films in theatre. One thing leading to another, this also led me to discover this very channel which has since become my favourite movie youtube channel too. Now I'm leaving in mainland China but I've been wanting to go back to HK ever since I left, so this video is like the perfect travel guide for me. An heartfelt thank from me to all the work put out by the channel and the influence it had on me.

[@umjackd]

I've only been to Hong Kong a few times. First as a child, which I barely remember except for buying shoes, though my mother distinctly remembers landing at Kai Tak airport and swearing to never do that again (and we never did). The last time was in my mid-20s, in 2011. It was kind of strange to finally see with adult eyes the place I had sort of grown up with in movies. We watched quite a few Hong Kong movies in the 90s, and getting to stay a while in 2011 was sort of a great time to go. These days a lot of my HK friends have emigrated, feeling hopeless about HK itself. It's hard not to feel like I visited at the best time.

[@GhilenPeek]

Thanks for this, wasn't able to head out to Kowloon and HK Island in my recently trip since its next to impossible with kids, this brings memories.

[@RyanParreno]

Honestly surprised so many of those locations are still around and can be visited as it is

[@supermariolover20]

I really enjoy the music you use for the background

[@lazspencer496]

I did this exact trip last November, but only for Chungking Express/Fallen Angels because I was totally enamoured with its 90s HK vibes. Sadly most details on real life locations are a bit scattered on the web, and some are straight up wrong (i went to the wrong underground McD's and assumed it has been totally renovated, literally just knew from this video that i went to the wrong branch). Totally agreed that the HK pre-handover vibes are all gone from the city. It has since turned into a very modern one. The graham street market, the chungking mansions, and the long escalators still did hit the spot though. Imo the saddest "now gone" location has to be the Midnight Express snackbar getting converted into a 7-11. Totally surprised by this getting in my recommendations tab, instantly clicked, and didn't regret it one bit. Awesome work!

[@emubiartworks4255]

ohhh that's why the frieren and shrek motorcycle statue are so familiar.. it's literally scene from fallen angel 6:15 LOL

[@stuffbyAldenH]

Absolutely loved this video, made me feel like I was home again :) Really goes to show how we take for granted some of the most innocuous things in our city; balancing architectural heritage with evolution in our cityscape is definitely something I feel many of us in HK really want. There's a silver lining in that WKW has preserved the HK my parents' generation knew for the people of today. Thank you for compiling these. *just to note something in the video: the concluding segment of Fallen Angels doesn't seem to be filmed in the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, but Pedder Street Underpass; the winding roads of the shot would have been hard to replicate in the largely flat Cross-Harbour Tunnel!

[@LeeRaymondCM]

Thank you for visiting Hong Kong and made a snapshot of its changes. Hong Kong as we knew of, has died. But as you said in the closing remarks, as long as there's lives, there's Hong Kong, although it is hugely unrecognizable for those of us who grew up in the 60-70s.

[@denniswman]

Worked in HK in the 2010s before much of the more heavy handed gov't changes. Though I lived in Tuen Mun, I visited many of those places. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😊

[@jocax188723]

I'm in HK at the moment. I know what I'm doing next weekend.

You did a great job in this video. The logistics must’ve required so much planning and note-taking, but you did a great job! I miss the old HK, but everything changes…

[@41tinman41]

Are there any other iconic filming locations that deserve this much love?

[@blownupfishnchips9071]

I first visited Hong Kong in 2010 and stayed in the Chungking Mansions. That was prior to discovering the film and the film sure did capture the atmosphere. I still remember the stalls of Indian food, the worn down elevator, cramped spaces and breakneck pace of the location. In a way I felt I had entered my own wonderland despite the grim looking reality. Edit: Crazy to think my aunt could've seen some of these locations before Wong made his debut. She settled in Hong Kong in 1986.

[@Hyper88]

What a brilliant video

[@ricardobaeta3184]

I Love this video idea

[@Face2East]

Almost every year, a small independent cinema in London hold a Wng Kar-wai season. Seeing them on the big screen just can't be beaten. To use the Bong Joon-ho meme here, "To me, that's cinema" (I think Christopher Doyle could be included in the title here too tho)

[@darkprince3474]

Amazing video man

[@pagano60]

I visited Hong Kong about a month before the 1997 changeover. I didn't go specifically to see Wong Kar-Wai's locations but just to take in the city that gave birth to so many fascinating films. However, I think I went one day by chance to the snack shop that was the location in "Fallen Angels" where Karen Mok sets up the final face-to-face meeting between Leon Lai and Michelle Reis. It was a happy accident.

[@djchuniz]

not the cross harbour tunnel, it's the short tunnel under connaught rd central outside of jardines house

[@n2zs2]

Nice editing:)

[@jf-be4zy]

That was the best description of McDonalds that I have ever heard. I am still laughing. Thanks!

[@ArchOfWinter]

Yau Ma Tei Theater at some point became government owned and was open to the public with live Canto Opera performance. It should reopen in two years or so after renovation. Different topic, thing that change with time is 7/11's operating hours. I'm not talking about from 7am till 11pm. All street level convenient stores in HK used to open 24/7, never closes unless there's a typhoon. Now, there's way for people to get midnight snacks.

[@KTo288]

The corporations and government have bulldozed and redeveloped much of what made Hong Kong unique in the name of profit, paniced when its no longer attractive to tourists, and have been dreaming up inauthentic tourist attractions and are bewildered when they fail.

[@flyerton9958]

Yeah, profit! That's totally why they dismantled dangerous, overcrowded, unsanitary locations. It's fucking bizarre watching people romanticse the 90s specifically, when it has been a trend of redevelopment and progression since the 70s.

[@Boonwongree]

Funny how I just came back from hong kong ❤ I love city of how romantic it is.

[@darthbakercamelia]

J'avais jamais allumé que t'étais de Montréal. :) Anyways, I also made a film pilgrimage in Hong Kong in 2012, slept in the Mansions, quite the experience. I love Hong Kong so much.

[@GLAASJEMELC]

so sad the final sentence cut out. but lovely video!

[@AccentedCinema]

There's no cut out sentence. It's just a previous sentence mistakenly placed at the end :p It should be fixed fairly soon, whenever KZbin finishes the new rendering.

[@gren1977]

Omg, went to that McDonald's for several breakfasts and I didn't know!!!

[@chroniclesofalivingdeadgirl]

So most of the locations were pretty much gone? I can imagine most of those locations being changed drastically or demolished within ten years. Wong Kar Wai movie fans should visit as soon as possible before that happens.

Modernisation without preservation is like sailing upon a planet of water. There are no islands for oriantation, no ports for navigation, and as maps can't be drawn upon the water, the vessel is hollow upon the waves.

I am not familiar with Wong Kar-Wei's films. Do you have a top few to watch first? (And why?) Also, you're editing the scenes and the real-life locations is *chef's kiss"

[@huabinsitu6459]

All these people out here complaining about the changes. However, a lot of these buildings are old and unsafe. Even in the mood for love, they had to go tonThailand for that feel. Go to Thailand yourself and realize that most of the population lives in poverty and still looks similar to those movies. Restauarants and businesses will survive if there is big demand, the problem is that the demands are simply not there anymore. People complain about them but don't do anything about them.

[@flyerton9958]

It's genuinely ridiculous that people keep romanticising objectively unsafe, unsanitary and overcrowded living conditions just because they saw it in a movie once. Are Hong Kong people who live there supposed to put up with horrid living conditions just to satisfy the romanticism of foreigners?

[@TOMMYBOY6969]

The old Hong Kong was so beautiful and romantic that Wong Kar Wai manage to capture and accentuate that feeling. I miss the neon signage of the past, now Nathan road looks so bland. With today's LED lighting, there is no reason why HK now can not reinstall LED signage that can be save cause its lighter, energy efficient and last much longer. Other cities like Paris, when they built a new building, they can built it to look historically old while being a new construction. The same as in Old Montreal,, did you see the new cobblestone they just put down,,, looks so modern in a bad way !

[@yowie1175]

HK forever!!
