The Heroin Busters - Fabio Testi (1977) - Hollywood Road, Hong Kong

As Testi wanders around collecting his bags of powder, another of is pick ups is inside the famous Man Mo Temple on Hollywood Road.


I'm curious about the dome in the background of the first shot. Testi enters Hollywood Road from an alleyway which seems to correspond to where the western edge of today's park opposite the temple (directly south of Yu Hing Lane). I wonder if anyone can recall what the dome was part of. I did think it may have been the roof of the old Central Theatre but the timeline doesn't fit (this film was made after it was demolished) and besides, it's the wrong shape.
