The main house where the wannabe agents stay as their cover was a rather glorious looking art deco mansion block that used to stand on Po Shan Road. The picture below is from an excellent website called
Urban Ghosts Media because by the time I had starting looking into the locations on this film, the building had already been demolished. Such a travesty in my opinion, but there you go.
I have no idea whether or not the plot has been redeveloped yet, but Streetview and Google seem to say otherwise. This means the land has been sitting empty for at least 5 years and I suspect the rush to demolish was motivated by the need to remove the building before anybody got the idea into their heads that it needed some sort of protection. Welcome to Hong Kong!

There was a brief outdoor dai pai dong scene which was shot on the steps leading up to New Eastern Terrace on Tin Hau Temple Road. This scene came to light because the film company did not take out a licence and they were shooting at night, causing nuisance to residence. They also set up very tall curtains so passer-bys can peepin. I'm familiar with the location as I lived there in the mid-70s.
Thanks Hiram. I will have to watch the film again and find the scene so i can include it.
Many thanks for letting me know.
Cheers, Phil
