Edwin Lee first watched the Manga classic “Ghost in the Shell” as a teen but just realized that the film's background is based on Hong Kong, where he lives. This video, made 16 years later, recreates the scenes of the original and illustrates how Hong Kong has physically changed over the years.
Ghost In The Shell vs Hong Kong comparison from Edwin Lee (Fallout Media)
The biggest differences between the film and now is that Hong Kong no longer has those awesome low-flying airplanes (airport moved in 1998) nor do we have canals and river boats - though we do have tramcar systems which is the obvious influence for Masamune. Not every shot could be faithfully recreated. Simply because it was an animation!
