T.N.T Jackson - Jeanne Bell (1974) - Hollywood Theatre, Mongkok
Staying with T.N.T Jackson, Rodney also identified a location I hadn't put up a screencap for but was looking for anyway. He's a mindreader!
This is the movie theatre that Stan Shaw supposedly goes into. The establishing shot used the exterior marquee of the Hollywood Theatre, located on the corner of Soy Street and Sai Yeung Choi Street South. So, actually right next to the previous post. I suspect, but can't confirm, that the cinema interior used in the film was actually one in the Philippines where much of this movie was shot. I say this because it looks far too big to have been a Hong Kong cinema and many of the extras appear to be Filipino rather than Chinese.
In what appears to be an informal convention in Hong Kong, the cinema's name is remembered by the building that replaced it - 'Hollywood Plaza'.
Again, here is Rodney's comment:
Right after the second screencap, Charlie (Stan Shaw) walks into the Hollywood Theatre on Sai Yeung Choi Street and Soy Street. The word "Soy" on the street sign attached to the exterior of the theatre is (barely) visible when the camera shows Charlie looking up at the billboard for the Shaw Brothers film 'The Golden Lotus'[金瓶雙艷].
IMDB does not list any filming dates, but 'The Golden Lotus' premiered in Hong Kong January 17 1974.

T.N.T Jackson - Jeanne Bell (1974) - Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mongkok
A big shout out to fellow location and old house nerd, Rodney, who identifed the next image for me as being on Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mongkok. Anyway, a big thanks to Rodney for the ID.

Here is Rodney's comment:
That was filmed in Mongkok...Sai Yeung Choi Street. 鳳如大茶樓 "Fung Yue Tea House" was located in the still-standing Wing Wah Building at No. 14-24. The restaurant space has been turned into Hollywood Shopping Centre.
As for the sign on the left, only the last word is visible, but it should have read 國際大酒樓 "International Restaurant". It was in the, likewise still-standing, Good Hope Building at 612-618 Nathan Road.
The sign that I found interesting is the horizontally mounted "江大飯店". Its first letter was obstructed, but it if it was 滬江, then the restaurant is still in 'bidness', as Jock and J.R. Ewing would say.
I have been to the current 滬江 in a basement shop on Peking Road across from iSquare. As far as I know, it has always been there, though the address reads 27-33 Nathan Road with the sole entrance on Peking Road. Earlier Google streetviews showed a different sign that still read 滬江大飯店 and noted it had been in bidness since 1984, but the current sign does not have the "大". Perhaps it was opened before 1984 and in a different location[?].

Karate from Shaolin Temple - Kazuma Kenji (1976) - Lung Cheung Road Pedestrian Bridge
The bridge design is quite distinctive but in the 1970s the main road was about half the size it is now. Lung Cheung Road has since been widened to almost twice its original width and as a result the original footbridge had to be extended. They managed to replicate the same design for the newer (northern) half of the bridge. This film was made when only the original (southern) section was in place. If you want a rough comparison you can click on this GoogleEarth link. The marker at the bottom of the post keeps snapping to a location just north of the bridge.

The Fighting Dragon - Yasuaki Kurata (1975) - Park Management Site Office, Mount Austin Road
Despite just being by the Peak Cafe, the very next shot shows the pair running past what is currently the site office for the park management staff who look after the area around the former Mountain Lodge. I was up here a couple of weeks ago and can confirm that getting up here from the upper Peak Tram Terminus involves at least a 20 minute steep, uphill walk that absolutely tired me out (granted, I am getting a bit old, but apparently still fitter than my 16 year old son).
The building is located next to the car park by the podium terrace of what is all that remains of the former Mountain Lodge (a pre-war property used by HK's Colonial Governors). Apparently the building was originally constructed as an office for staff who were responsible for the maintenance and operation of the nearby transmitter stations, but I guess the use of cars makes their need to be there 24/7 no longer a necessity.

The Fighting Dragon - Yasuaki Kurata (1975) - Estrellita, Repulse Bay Road
These days it's owned by Henry Cheng, the retired patriarch of the New World business empire that is currently undergoing some bad times so perhaps we will see it on sale again soon? It was in the news a few years ago because it was targeted by some obviously very unpatriotic burglars.
I don't think the closeups (not shown here) used the same property, so that's an ongoing search. Sadly, the picture quality doesn't provide me with quite enough information, but from what I can gather the interior and garden scenes were most likely shot elsewhere.
