VIDEO: Old school aerial footage shows Hong Kong from her best angle

Like anyone with a double chin or three, Hong Kong really does look best from above! Take a peek this compilation of aerial footage we stumbled across on Vimeo.

Filmed in a time before drones were mainstream boy toys, the helicopter shots of everything from the Big Buddha to container ships, the Observatory, Tai O Fishing Village and Central at night have been purchased by Hollywood, Bollywood and numerous TV shows.

No prizes for spotting the opening of Jackie Chan’s Rush Hour II though!
