Detonator II: Night Watch - Pierce Brosnan (1995) - Causeway Road, Causeway Bay

Okay, not strictly all Causeway Road, but at least both ends of it as the motorbike chase unfolds. After starting just around the corner in Cannon Street the next scene is from the bike's point of view as it chases after the car at the corner where Gloucester Road and Causeway Road merge. Actually, the bike is on Yee Wo Street in the first shot as it joins the aforementioned corner.


It doesn't look like the place has changed too much other than the appearance of the Rosedale Hotel, as you can see from the Streetview.


The next shot is, surprisingly (because these things rarely follow real geography), at the far end of Causeway Road at the corner with Hing Fat Street on the other side of Victoria Park with Park Towers (a residential development) in view on the corner.

Hi Phil,

Actually the second screen shot showed significant change. What I meant was about the 'China Products' department store there. That was the time when quite a few department stores were competing in the Causeway Bay area. We had Daimaru, Matsusakaya, Mitsukoshi, Sogo, and two China Products stores in the same area.
