Movies filmed in Hong Kong

The 52 most widely covered are above. The other 182 filmed in Hong Kong:

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Hong Kong as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

And 138 more, per Wikipedia:

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

And 4 more set here:

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Hong Kong, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

And 39 more, per Wikipedia:

Drawn from this place

Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Hong Kong as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
