@Prince of Erebor: I got an issue with the proposed DYK hook. Perhaps it can be rewritten since it sounds awkward (referring to "...shooting unauthorizedly at the police headquarters") Ominae (talk) 12:49, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ominae: Hi Ominae! I was trying to emphasize the absurdity of the film's crew shooting right under the police's noses. Perhaps it could be rewritten as: ... that The Invincible Dragon was filmed at the Macau police headquarters without permission, leading to the detention of director Fruit Chan and lead actor Kevin Cheng by the police? —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 14:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Prince of Erebor:: Thanks for getting back. The hook is good. But I'd remove the in "... was filmed [at] Macau police." Ominae (talk) 15:01, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Ominae: I have updated the hook. Please take a look, and thanks for your feedback! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:37, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Prince of Erebor:: Thanks. IMHO, didn't have to change the hook. Could've made another line. But that's fine with me. Should be ready to go. Both sources (English/non-English) provided to back up the hook.

However, the production crew did not apply for the necessary permits before filming, and the shooting location is in ties with the local public security forces. As a result, actors including Cheng, along with Fruit Chan and over ten crew members, were taken to the police station for questioning and detained until around 10 p.m. that night.
