Push - Chris Evans (2009) - Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay
I think this is the final post on Push for a while until I can track down some of the more incidental places that crop up throughout the film. It's just a brief glimpse of Yee Wo Street looking towards the SOGO department store. You can just about make out the blue SOGO emblem on the right hand side of the second picture.

I just want to say thank you for all the work you've put into tracking down the locations for Push, and for this blog in general. I spent quite a few hours looking at street signs and using Google/Streetview to find locations for Push, but you've done even more. It took hours to figure out from buildings and perspective that one part was shot at the pedestrian bridge to Harcourt Garden. An easy find was Peel Street, as there was a sign for a restaurant called Makumba. King Street in Tai Hang was fairly easy through a search for Wealth Host Auto Parts. Another location in Peel Street showed a sign for the now closed Artland Gallery.
I visited Hong Kong in 2008, around the time that Push would have been in production, but never got to see these places, although I did find myself in King street in Tai Hang on a later visit. From what I gather, the Lantau Link Visitors Centre no longer looks like it does in Push, unfortunately. If I ever get to visit Hong Kong again, my plan is to go to these locations and take my own pictures, along with some other classic HK movie locations. Too bad the Bottoms Up Club from Man With The Golden Gun no longer exists!
