Fulltime Killer is one of the more intelligent cat-and-mouse shoot-em-ups to come out of Hong Kong this decade, which is no surprise considering it's helmed by the powerhouse team of Johnnie To Kei-Fung and Wai Ka-Fai. Andy Lau plays Tok, a hitman obsessed with action movies, which makes for quite a few film references and self-aware asides in his voiceover narration. Japanese actor Takashi Sorimachi plays rival hitman O, and Kelly Lin plays Chin, a video store clerk who is involved with both men, clueless as to their true professions.

Here's a still from the film, as Chin (Kelly Lin) closes up the shop.

And here's the shot I took of the real Hollywood Video Club, literally just steps away from the Central-Mid-Levels Escalators! Special thanks to LoveHKFilm.com for letting me know where to look for this location!
