Besides tax advantages, another reason was all British cars were right-side steering, which suited HK roads. Their main competitors, i.e. US cars, were manufactured with left-side steering, and needed costly retrofits to adapt to the local streets.
@MsChanwong The movie was, as you pointed out, German, meaning the actors were talking in German. However, this particular version was shown to a Russian audience, so the dialogues were translated into Russian and presented as a voice-over by a narrator which we heard throughout the video. I studied German for one semester in high school, and the narrator sounds more like Russian than German. I tried to listen to the words spoken by the actors, but they were too muzzled to be heard clearly.
