If anything suggests just how ballsy Jordan is, it’s that Sylvester Stallone’s one-time champion pugilist Rocky Balboa does not appear in the film, and his name is only referenced once. Can you make a Rocky spin-off without Rocky? It seems you can. Creed III bobs and weaves smartly through its thrilling run-time.

You’ve organised flights and a hotel, restaurant tables and visits to vineyards. You’ve even put some money aside for a flutter in the casino. In truth, a world tour of places owned by global superstars probably isn’t feasible, but it might be fun to try – especially if we’re allowed to use a time machine.

Of all the park’s attractions, Keung’s favourite was its cinema. “What I loved most was watching movies starring Connie Chan and Josephine Siao,” he says of the actresses who dominated Hong Kong movie screens in the ’60s and ’70s.
