My Take | Triad roughing up of Michael Bay does wonders for city's image

Has the roughing-up on the Transformers movie set in Quarry Bay involving alleged triads damaged the city's international reputation? I rather think the opposite, though many people believe otherwise.

"He came by my crew as we were shooting, carrying a long air-conditioner unit," he wrote.

"He walked right up to me and tried to smack my face, but I ducked, threw the air unit on the floor and pushed him away.

"That's when the security jumped on him. But it took seven big guys to subdue him. After that, we had a great day shooting here in Hong Kong. The place couldn't be better."

Seven guys! And they were just Bay's personal security. In the end, it took 15 police officers in riot gear to arrest four suspects. Given their obvious kung fu prowess, maybe Bay should just hire those guys for his movies, rather than letting them be charged with blackmail and assault.
