Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Queen's Road Central, Central

The trio go on a massive fraudulent spending spree, so the next scene shows them buying stuff at the various jewellery shops and luxury item stores along Queen's Road Central.

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Cornell Centre, Chai Wan

The group rent a space in an industrial building from where they can run their credit fraud schemes. It looks like the film company rented space in the same building where Crossing Hennessy did a few years before, although it looks like in this film they used a lower floor.

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Harbour Grand Hotel, Hung Hom

The trio finally arrive at their hotel, which turns out to be the Harbour Grand in Kowloon. This is not the first time this hotel has been used in a movie, and coincidentally was seen in another "hacker" movie released the same year, Snowden. In that film though it is pretending to be the Mira Hotel. The group rent the Presindetial Suite and I do believe it is the actual suite that you can see in the film so I have included those images below as well.

The bottom double screen shot is from the later sequence when Alex and Kira go on an ATM withdrawal spree. I think it is supposed to show Kira going to an ATM but it was obviously filmed in the front courtyard of the hotel.

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - View of Happy Valley

Just before the trio arrive at their hotel we are treated to a nice view across Causeway Bay and Happy Valley. The camera looks to have been located at or near the top of "The Hennessy" at 256 Hennessy Road.

The next shot shows the taxi making its way past SOGO where Hennessy Road turns into Yee Wo Street.

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Harcourt Road, Central

More taxi-based shots as it heads west along Harcourt Road near Admiralty Station. The taxi is passing under the pedestrian bridge that links the Admiralty Centre with Tamar Park/Central Government Office complex.

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Lockhart Road, Wanchai

One of the places we see from the taxi as the group are driven to their hotel is a quick glimpse down Lockhart Road from the vantage point of the Canal Road Flyover.

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Ting Kau Bridge, Tsing Yi

On their way from the airport to town, the trio's taxi takes them across the Ting Kau Bridge. Although in true HK Taxi driver style, it looks like he is taking them the long way around by driving north over the bridge towards Tsuen Wan area. You can see Tsing Yi and the Tsing Ma Bridge in the background. However, in the second image, the taxi is heading back the other way, so maybe they cottoned on to his overcharging shenanigans?

Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok

Next up is a foreign production for a change. It stars Callan McAuliffe as Alex, a computer hacker who teams up with a couple of other people to get rich by internet fraud and who catch the attention of a criminal mastermind who involves them in a plot to crash the US stock market so that they can reap the rewards when the market rebounds. Hmm, for some reason that sounds especially believable this week following what Trump has just done with the Global Tariffs (as I write in April 2025). The release date was 2016 but it looks like it may have been filmed a couple of years earlier.

Watch the film here (until it gets taken down).

The Hong Kong section of the film starts with the trio arriving at Hong Kong International Airport.

Angel Force - Moon Lee (1991) - Hebe Haven, Sai Kung

After spending most of the last hour or so in Thailand, the movie switches back to Hong Kong for its denouement as the remainder of the team find out who the mole was that has been betraying them from the get go. The scene starts with Moon jumping down on to Hiram's Highway. The location is at the bottom of the steps from the Pak Sha Wan Village Hall. The brickwork at the side of the road looks the same today.

She then runs across the the boatsheds that line the waterfront and this is where the final fight takes place. From the signage and size of the shed it looks like it might be "Regatta Yachts" today. But that's just a guess. Feel free to let me know in the comments if you know the exact location.
