Where was this film shot?


I remember an asian film called "Aces go Places" being filmed in Wellington, NZ when I was a boy - is this the same movie? If so, I remember seeing a stunt scene being filmed. It fits in with the age I was, although I thought I was a bit older.

The scene I saw being shot was an asian couple (man and woman, presumably the heroes) back into the bad guys (who were caucasian) car and send it flying through the air across the street.

If it helps the good guys were in a Holden Torana Sunbird (without a hood) and the bad guys in a grey Holden Kingswood.

Bigguy31, the film you recall was the fourth in this series—it's at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092268/. The cars were a Torana and the villains drove a Valiant Charger; however, when the Torana "landed" after the stunt in the movie it miraculously changed into a Cortina!

This first one, filmed in Hong Kong with some minor sequences in Italy, is worth watching if you can ever get it in the Cantonese. In fact, all the western versions are horribly butchered. It's basically a Dick Emery film rejigged to eastern tastes.
