  • silverhand2077 Filmed in Hong Kong for authenticity (with scenes in Kowloon and Causeway Bay). Some sequences can be shot in Vancouver studios for production costs.
  • silverhand2077 $100-120 million is reasonable for an action production with big fight and chase sequences in Hong Kong. Warner Bros. and Legendary have worked with similar budgets on Godzilla vs. Kong and Mortal Kombat. Investment in well-known Asian actors who are on the rise in Hollywood is justified.
  • silverhand2077 Realistically choreographed combat with minimal reliance on CGI. Motorcycle chases and parkour, influenced by films like The Raid and John Wick.
  • silverhand2077 If the direction and action are well executed, it could be the best adaptation of a video game in years.
