Am i the only one wondering who was put in charge of his erect cock? (for non-UK readers, that's why this chalk engraving is famous).

my kids always rib me about the hat I wear when I go out. It's purely to stop me getting headaches from HK's bright sun...but TWICE in the last year it has also prevented me from getting a face full of birdshite. Gross enough, but could've been worse lol

Aha. This might explain why someone was on gwulo afew months back asking about some locations. I identified them but got not even a single thankyou.

A nice happy/lucky milestone for my blog today. 888,888 hits. The blogspot version has been up and running since 2011, but I had to restore it all in late 2022 following a deletion disaster, so those hits are just since Sep 2022. Gonna go buy a mark 6 later today...

I watched this earlier today and it was absolutely hilarious. Colbert has a humour that would go down very well in the UK and I think he should move there and host a new show.

did I mention he was a fun guy?

Also went here today. Fans of mid-70s Shaw/Hammer co-productions will know.

I made a new friend on my hike today.

Just finished watching City of Shadows on Netflix. Great little series and it's so sad finding out that Verónica Echegui passed away last year. RIP.

Not a good sign... Does anyone know the plan? I'm hopeful that the girder position is more indicative of support rather than being prepped for demo. But this is HK so who knows?

Walked out of my apartment today to find what looks like a tiny bat clinging to the wall.

Looking through some old books I came across The Companion Book Club’s (UK) newsletter from 1956. & it included a profile of Ernest Gann and his book Soldier of Fortune, set in HK & Macao. I wrote about the novel in Macau Closer mag if your interest is piqued macaucloser.com/opinion/erne...

here's a nice shot of the old Kai Tak Amusement Park. The Lady Professional (1971).

if anyone ever takes a contract out on me, then I hope it's carried out by Lily Ho dressed as a nun. The Lady Professional (1971).

an image seared into my brain. Did you know Robert Clouse reused it for Golden Needles the year after?

I'm usually late to this sort of thing, but for those who like online guessing games, give timeguessr.com a go.

a brief cameo from the Sir Alexander Grantham fireboat from Heisser Hafen Hong kong (1962).

let's face it, the standout sequence in this movie is Bruce Lee laying waste to James Garner's office furniture.

damn. RIP Ray Jackson.

there's a new Hong Kong-set game in the pipeline called Better than Dead. Hilariously, some of the in-game graffiti is actually real - they have the phone number of that plumber who used to write his phone number all over Hong Kong. youtu.be/5IKshvS_FxQ?...

I'm late to the party but The Chestnut Man season 1 is a banger

It's termite night in Hong Kong it seems. Every year for one night in May the place is full of flying termites and they get everywhere.

an old advert from Langham Place that made me chuckle...

This is a 1973 Dave Friedman image of BTS Enter the Dragon. This whole bike courier sequence was pretty much dropped from the film save for a few brief snippets. The location is Cornwall Street in Kowloon Tong. Note the incorrect signage saying Cornwall Road.

Some old images from my defunct drive. This is The Gate of Hell (1977). Not sure if there is a print anywhere.

Out now on limited release in the US and the UK, COLD WAR 1994 is an uproariously good time. Boasting a cavalcade of stars and a nostalgia-fuelled setting, this action-packed police thriller is an absolute must-see for any self-respecting Hong Kong movie fan: marshattacks.com/2026/04/28/c...

boooooo!

some great 1963 views of HK, Kowloon and NT in here. youtu.be/tFmGwzw2_Bc?...
