The Andy Lau Tak Wa, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Michael Tong Man Lung and others starred film FUNG BO earlier at a gun fight scene at Central. Since it was Sunday morning, the working class was off. Heavenly King Lau Wa's charm still attracted over 100 onlookers. The gun fight and car crash scenes were very realistic, gun fire sounds endlessly rang. Each actor performed convincingly, making the production process both intense and exciting.

When the press arrived, a car was already upside down on the side of the street. A stunt double who resembled Lau Tak Wa studied the production detail with action director Chin Kar Lok. Chin Kar Lok looked seriously and in command.

After an exciting car crash scene, the flipped car was placed on the side of the road. Luckily it was Sunday, vehicles were few and one lane could be blocked off. The crew helped with directing the traffic, both the traffic flow and the production went smoothly.

After a break, Lau Tak Wa appeared with a rifle and "fresh blood" on his face. He looked very cool as he officially began a police chase and gun fight. Wa Jai kept firing the rifle in front of the camera at three robbers, Lam Ka Tung, Tong Man Lung and Terence Yin (Wan Chi Wai) exchanged fire. Central was "raining bullets" as gun fire rang throughout Central deafeningly.

In one of the scenes a bullet brushed by Wa Jai, the fake bullets were very close to him and even set off sparks on the ground. The location was filled with more bullet ammunition smell. Although pedestrians knew it was a movie shoot, they still covered their ears and ran for cover. The atmosphere was both intense and exciting. Such a gun fight scene was indeed rare for people, onlookers felt like they were right in the thick of it and were able to catch a glimpse of Lau Tak Wa and the cast. Now wonder the crowd did not subside despite hours of productions.

Known to be serious, Wa Jai had every expression on his face. After the shot he kept studying the script with the production team. Every scene was shot twice or more. The shoot ran over 4 hours at Central and began in the early morning, but each actor looked energized. When they took the marks they had no smile at all as they all concentrated on the shoot.
