The Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) starred film THAT DEMON WITHIN (MOR GAING) had a gun play on an overpass. The team specifically set up a road block on the West Kowloon Corridor for 3 days for the shoot. In this scene the Ka Fai led the "Ghost King Gang" after a diamond robbery fled and ran into police interference on the overpass. Both sides erupted into an explosive gun fight that involved innocent bystanders with serious injuries and casualties. The set not only set up a 72 hour road block but also used 70 extras to play pedestrians and victims, 40 different vehicles, 5 teams of cameras to shoot simultaneously and over 200 behind the scene workers.
Director Dante Lam Chiu Yin said that originally he was interested in the Prince Edward Road Flyover, but the government authorities were concerned that it was too close to the residential area. The explosions and gun fights might also be dangerous. They suggested many safety ensuing procedures, but in the end they were still denied. Later they changed the location to the West Kowloon Corridor. Everyone united to complete the city gun fight that he had in mind with realistic results.
To create the realistic presence, Ng Yin Cho put on helmet, bulletproof vest and other heavy duty gear as well as a steadicam that weighed over 24 pounds around his waist. After the shoot his back was killing him and needed his pregnant wife to give him a massage, for which he was truly sorry. Ka Fai and other robbers had to wear during ghost king masks and suffered just as much as they could not take a larger breath.
