I don’t think I want to live here but some type of video game set inside it would be most welcome.

Is there a documentary anyone can recommend that takes us to street level?

Don’t know offhand if a documentary, but a film set in a similar area (Kowloon-adjacent, same vibe) is Chungking Express.

I’m really loving all these recommendations. Thanks so much!

Kowloon features in Shenmue.

Moose2/brutalmoose has a funny let's play!

I played this game a lifetime ago and don’t remember Kowloon.

Thanks for the video. Helps me avoid replaying it!

Haven't seen any documentaries, but Blood Sport shot a few scenes inside.

Fairly certain there is a doc/film shot in the city, though I don't recall the name, although it might be mentioned in this video I watched recently about the city https://youtu.be/hoNclh1K_zY
