This weekend there is no shortage of things to see, do, eat, and browse in Hong Kong, and surely Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine is the highlight.

However, since it is also the studio’s first Category III, adults-only release, it is not for everyone. Still, there are plenty more activities across the city that cater to all ages. Here are our top recommendations.

1. Deadpool & Wolverine

Deadpool & Wolverine | Final Trailer | In Theaters July 26
Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine join the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this riotously entertaining superhero team-up, which also marks Deadpool’s third outing (following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox). It is easily the most fun that the blockbuster franchise has had in years.

Reynolds’ “merc with a mouth” plays nicely opposite Jackman’s taciturn, claw-handed killer as they pummel each other, and myriad assailants, in the most violent manner possible.

Parents should take note that this is not the usual Category IIA release that the MCU has long been known for. Deadpool & Wolverine has been given a Category III rating in Hong Kong, meaning only adults will be allowed to watch it. Read our full review
