Les Anges Gardiens - Gerard Depardieu (1995) - Ap Lei Chau Waterfront, Ap Lei Chau
When Depardieu first arrives in HK, he is taken to his friend's son who is being looked after on board a boat in Aberdeen Harbour. The area they arrive at is on Ap Lei Chau side on a section of land that has seen been redeveloped into the Municipal Services Building and the beautified waterfront. As you can see by the images, it was still a bit of a wasteland back in 1995. However, most of those taller buildings (top and bottom pictures) are still there as far as I can tell and were not affected by the redevelopment. Of course the second picture shows the view looking back across towards Aberdeen. Look closely and you will see the old Aberdeen Police Station on the hill behind the actor.

Hi Phil,
A bit plot of the land in the first screen capture had been redeveloped into the Marina Habitat later. In the third screen capture, some of the low rise had already been redeveloped.

Thanks for letting me know, Thomas. Good to have some local eyes on the ground. I wonder if you were already living in Ap Lei Chau at the time?
Hi Phil,
I was already there by late 1994.
