Here's one that was a bit of a surprise. The location is a stand in for the Kai Tak airport area which looks as though it was probably out of bounds for filming - understandably considering how busy the place used to get. So instead of Kai Tak airport, we get an amalgam of several places, the first is this one. It's the car park next to Shatin Race Course. The giveaway was the strange structure behind Clavier in the top image - it's one of the viewing towers that looks over the race course.
The rest of the images are shot in the car park area with views over to the construction of the Royal Ascot residential development (see in the background swathed in bamboo scaffolding and green safety netting). A quick check on Centamap confirms it was completed in 1995.
The sequence was shot to hide the main stand which would be to the right in this lower shot, but the walkways and other structures here are
still around - except for the obviously fake airport signage, of course.
