Streetfighter V anime series has a couple episodes set in Kowloon Walled City, that's where I first heard of it. I figured it was just something made up lol And for those interested in the real story behind Frank Dux here's an interesting article: Article on Frank Dux | ||

This is a Jackie Chan movie where parts of it were filmed in the Kowloon Walled City before it was destroyed, and after it was evacuated. I haven't seen it yet, but according to wikipedia there are scenes in the movie of them destroying buildings. Pretty cool. Has anyone seen this movie? I wanna check it out. | ||

This is where I know it from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEo6ogAnoZ8 hahah that's awesome. Great catch. I don't care what anybody says I have an irrational love for that movie. I've seen it many, many times and I never really gave much thought to those lines there. Interesting stuff! | ||

Don't really feel like entering the game and running deeper to get you more insight right now  | ||

Kowloon Walled City was riddled with unregulated dentists. I can't read the language personally, but apparently this is a picture of a few of the KWC dentist offices side by side. ![[image loading]](http://lindsayrgwatt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_2224.jpg) A photo of Kowloon Walled City taken in 1973. ![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2ZuzoYSK2B8/Rv5-opqJblI/AAAAAAAAAUY/gYoDrqZa6UE/s400/kwc_3.jpg) Storefronts. ![[image loading]](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIa9uH7EPfM/SmAJf-U1RHI/AAAAAAAAA4E/pCmrmoeEBMI/s400/Kowloon-Walled-City-1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oIa9uH7EPfM/SmAJcXRksDI/AAAAAAAAA38/pmbstY37K8Y/s400/Kowloon-Walled-City-6.jpg) Food being prepared in this KWC production facility. ![[image loading]](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIa9uH7EPfM/SmAJRweZWDI/AAAAAAAAA30/C2aW8y6Omtk/s400/factory.png) A young boy biking on the rooftops. ![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oIa9uH7EPfM/SmASciF31rI/AAAAAAAAA4k/GuK60ERmn70/s400/roof2.jpg) Additional learning resources http://www.archidose.org/KWC/ http://lindsayrgwatt.com/blog/2010/07/kowloon-walled-city-park/ More Pictures http://lindsayrgwatt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_2227.jpg http://www.as-i-am.fr/dose/public/images/Kowloon-Walled-City/Kowloon-Walled-City-10.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oIa9uH7EPfM/SmAJGnGs3KI/AAAAAAAAA3k/_OwB7dU-C14/s400/Kowloon-Walled-City-4.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2ZuzoYSK2B8/Rv5-pZqJbnI/AAAAAAAAAUo/nTh-6lVO_iY/s400/kwc_4.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oIa9uH7EPfM/SmAJGnGs3KI/AAAAAAAAA3k/_OwB7dU-C14/s400/Kowloon-Walled-City-4.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CE8mdy3irbg/TQ2o8VlmeRI/AAAAAAAANE0/-tQuL51u1H0/s320/kowloon-walled-city2.jpg | ||
