🇭🇰 Hong Kong · 22.2783, 114.1586

Hong Kong is recorded as a filming location for 205 productions. Wikidata records these shoots at town level — somewhere in Hong Kong, rather than at one identified spot. Wikipedia names it for 14 more. 7 video games are also set here.

8 productions were filmed at 58 places inside Hong Kong rather than at Hong Kong itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“The film also reflects the then-popular martial arts film craze, with several kung fu scenes and a predominantly Asian location, being set and shot in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Macau.”

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 2 more, per Wikipedia:

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Hong Kong

8 productions shot at 58 places inside Hong Kong, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Hong Kong itself.

46 more places are inside Hong Kong — see them on the map.

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 5 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 1 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.
