Filming Gets Underway for City on Alert

Despite being a closed set, filming of outdoor scenes are still being observed by some reporters, such as a night shoot a few days back when Ngai Sing was spotted doing a scene involving an armoured bank security van flying/toppling.

Last Saturday, Wu Jing, sporting a short boxed beard and dressed fit to kill in black coat, and Zhang Jingchu were seen filming City on Alert in an industrial park in Kowloon. Wu Jing, who also doubles up as the action director, would often discuss with Benny Chan the various moves and positioning, doing back flips, and executing the moves as he spoke, and he would also monitor the camera alongside Benny Chan.

Playing a female cop, Zhang Jing Chu was coached by Wu Jing for half an hour on wielding a retractable baton, until she was comfortable with the action. However, Wu Jing's most lethal move yet was "Twin Dragons Vacating the Sea", best in dealing with the overabundance of simulated smoke/sandstorm effects on the set. Oriental Daily, Sohu
