Ron Ng and Sammul Chan were filming yesterday on the cliff faces of Shek O for "Police Cadet Brave Hearts" in a scene where the two are competing against each other in climbing a rock four to five storeys high. To ensure the ultimate safety, there were four professional climbers on hand to oversee the scene and even some of the crew had to wear safety gear and Ron and Sammul were both kitted out fully as they acted their roles without a stunt double, but definitely looking and acting the part. During the filming, the crew even threw little stones down at them to give the feeling of danger and making the two eat some dust!
This is the first time that Ron has filmed a climbing scene, but he was not afraid at all and was not shaky as he said: "This is filming close-up shots, so I have to do it myself, but the director needs some wide shots and in order to make it look more professional, there will be stand in to do that scene." When asked if he was afraid, he says: "Not really, the coaches were there and the feeling of hanging from the side of a mountain is quite high." He laughs that there have been many outdoor shoots for the show, inlcuding hill walking at Bat Sin Leng early that morning. When asked if he could handle it, he says: "I am okay, there was some wind and it was not very sunny." After saying this, he took his T-shirt off his back and squeezed out the sweat from it.
Sammul reveals that he ate the wrong food and had food poisoning earlier: "Before at Bat Sin Leng, I had diarrheoa and was looking around for a toilet everywhere. The crew said I was quite brave to drink fizzy soda after that. (Are you okay?) I'm okay." He reveals that his earlier neck injury has almost healed completely now, but he daren't move it too violently and is taking it easy during filming. When the press suggested he could do 'rock climbing physiotherapy', he laughs: "More like 'highly dangerous physiotherapy'!"
