How is this even possible honestly? What do they even eat?
Julian Robinson
Shenmue II.
Nothing, because it was demolished in 1994.
Chase Hall
Do you only eat what's right outside your door?
Austin Phillips
wasn't dred based on that hellhole
Carter Garcia
chinese food
Dominic Ward
What I’m implying that there’s no jobs with which to buy food from outside, and no money inside this super-slum. Did they all fucking farm WoW gold and trade for rice?
Ryder Bailey
>50,000 fucking people lived in this
Fascinating.
By all accounts it was the worst kind of "project housing" type hellhole. Food was likely power. Looks like there was a lot of growing too.
Jaxon Scott
They set up their own unlicensed micro economy which was controlled by the triads.
They are the same thing everyone else did, just prepared and sold internally.
Fish balls, pak Choi, wonton soup, egg drop and noodles
Xavier Carter
Holy shit zoomers ITT have never heard of Kowloon city.
I'm starting to think I'm too old for this place.
Christian Ramirez
If the triad were involved with kowloon heavily I can't imagine many people were allowed to film there
Bentley Turner
what, every day? fuck man they must be rich af
Levi Myers
There were businesses in the houses. People had hydroponic farms. People gave tours to tourists. People rented out rooms. Prostitution and drug manufacturing etc.
It had a thriving local economy.
Noah Howard
I know things work differently when you're a hick working on the family farm, but generally people in highly industrial places don't live right next to their job. They travel from their house to their workplace every day, and only live where they do because of the price being cheap enough to afford them food and other necessities. And then you of course always have the local slum work providers like whorehouses and gambling, or more illicit affairs like unlicensed doctors, which all brings outsiders to the slum.
Mason Ward
Based response
Needlessly aggressive half baked response.
William Ortiz
They didn’t film there.
If you’re thinking of Chungking Express, that was filmed in Chungking Mansions in Tsim Tsa Tsui, a much smaller and legal version of a multi-use commercial building that still stands today.
Hudson Brooks
Daniel Lopez
Were the guys living at the top the kings of the place, being able to see the sun and grow things, or were they peasants who had to trek up five hundred stairs every day?
Christian Jenkins
Pig sty Alley from Kung Fu Hustle has a walled city feel to it. Chasing The Dragon also features the last third of the movie in it.
Christian Martinez
wow sounds like a paradise
Henry Miller
>people younger than me exist
Shocking revelation user.
Luis Peterson
Kraut doco showing daily life
Isaac Rodriguez
People at the top were the peasants. ground floor was the most prestigious part.
Alexander Morris
Doesn't Bloodsport feature parts of Kowloon?
Eli White
Yes almost every 80s action movie or fighting movie that involved some sort of Asian martial arts ALWAYS featured Kowloon walled city. It basically became a staple to the point where it was basically the view of what the mainstream westerner had of China/Hong Kong.
Jason Bell
that place has better living condition then what they have now for the poor. now people are living like cage animals.
Jaxon Gray
Blame Chinese government strongholding Hong Kong government for that bullshit.
Xavier Howard
Great action film.
Hudson Ross
>films
Caleb Allen

Evan Cook
Well to be honest the entire view of China in the west is still massively shaped by Hong-Kong and Canton, even the ping pong ding don't scheming merchants stereotypes.
Leo Gray
>that place has better living condition
no safety standards
huge fire hazard
run by criminal gangs
there's a reason they demolished it immidiately after the legal dispute was settled
Connor White
ooh love Chow Yun Fat, I'll check it out
Jace Clark
Ringo Lam is great.
Prison on Fire, School on Fire and Full Alert are all just as good.
School On Fire is just impossible to find. I think it is on Karagarga tracker.
Camden Wright
Kowloon Connection, with John Holmes
Samuel Sullivan
Shenmue II is a film.
Charles Thompson
Nope, it was based on some shithole high-rise in South Africa
Daniel Robinson
Dredd
