Die Sieben Masken des Judoka - Heinz Drache (1967) - Hilton Hotel, Central

The Hilton Hotel has featured a few times before on this blog, but I think this is the first time we've seen it from this angle. The hotel was an L-shape and it looks as though this scene was filmed in a top floor bar of one tip of the "L" looking over to the other tip - hence why you can see the hotel name outside the window. Sadly my very first visit to HK was in November 1995 and I missed the hotel by about 6 months. It had close in May of the same year but by the time I had arrived it was already completely gone and the piling work for Cheung Kong Centre had already commenced.
