Les Anges Gardiens - Gerard Depardieu (1995) - Sai Kung Waterfront, Sai Kung

So, despite our poor, bloodied target being attacked on the Star (or should I say "Starr") Ferry in Tsim Sha Tsui, then somehow hot-footed it up to Tai Kok Tsui whilst his pursuers follow him from another pier down in Hung Hom, he manages to find a public payphone in Sai Kung to call his buddy (Depardieu) and ask him to come to HK to look after his son. Trust me when I say this is not the most ridiculous bit of geographical artistic license seen in this film.

Anyway, he makes it to the phone booth and puts in his call just before a big truck arrives and runs him over. Look in the background to see the large dolos structure/exhibit that inhabits the waterfront at the end of Man Nin Street (you can see it on Streetview here).
