It follows a troubled youth, Chan Lok kwun (starring Raymond Lam), as he accidentally enters the Walled City, where he becomes close friends with gangsters. Under the leadership of Tornado (starring Louis Koo), they vow to protect the safe haven of Kowloon Walled City. The film is a worldwide hit and has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival and represented Hong Kong in the Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards. Do not miss the Exhibition where you can experience the excitement of the film again in its li fe like set. Explore various zones enhanced with built in light boxes and displays replaying heart throbbing excerpts from the blockbuster.Since Kowloon City is where the story of Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In takes place, the second phase of the Exhibition will bring the set “home” to the AIRSIDE shopping mall in Kai Tak to further reco nnect the experience with its origins. In phase 2, the Exhibition will create an immersive indoor experience unlike any other, allowing visitors to stroll through different parts of the Walled City and become part of the scenes to further experience the magic of movie tourism in town.
