This 1991 movie, directed by Poon Man Kit and
produced by Johnny Mak, tells the story of Ho, a
mainland peasant who escapes to Hong-Kong
and becomes a top local mafia boss. A
Hong-Kong Scarface so to say. Featuring Ray
Lui, Kent Cheng and Cecilia Yip.

The DS appears shortly, in only two scenes. In
the first, a severely beaten and bleeding
gangster is rescued by his mates, and whisked
away in a DS, in the dark, rainy night, as it
should be.

A while later another gangster, naked as a
worm as we say in French, runs away from the
enemy, before realizing that the car chasing him
is a friendly one, and a DS at that ; he eventually
jumps in.

Not much can be seen of the DS, it goes too
fast and everything happens in the dark.
There is no reason to believe the movie could
have been shot elsewhere than in Hong-Kong;
so the DS should have been a local one, and,
who knows, it may still be there ?

Many different car brands appear in the film:
Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Volvo, Jaguar, even at
least one Peugeot. Director Poon Man Kit may
be a car fan ?

We can only hope no blood stains remained on
the seats. Would be too bad.
