Les Anges Gardiens - Gerard Depardieu (1995) - Dragon Road, Tai Hang

Interspersed with the shots filmed in Tai Po but edited to make it look as though they are nearby is a scene filmed on Dragon Road in Tai Hang (i.e. about 20 km away on Hong Kong Island).  Dragon Road is instantly recognisable because it is one of the only streets - at least that I know of - that has such a prominent tree slap bang in the middle of the road. We get to see it from both sides as the gangsters pursue Depardieu only his stolen pedicab thingy.

The first shot is the view from the east about in line with where the Tin Hau temple would be on the right (that is the temple that the "Tin Hau" MTR station is named after). The second image looks as though it was taken from the branches of the same tree still looking west and the final image is looking back the other way (west to east). This location is right next to another I posted about in Lust Caution last year.
