The Last Grenade - Stanley Baker (1969) - Morrison Street, Sheung Wan

Once again, a recent retrospective has leased some new life into some old films with new locations identified. This following shot was taken from a sequence in 1969's The Last Grenade starring Stanley Baker. It is the same sequence from which this location also appears in and is when Grigsby (Baker) and his men have just arrived in Hong Kong and are being driven to see the local commander (Richard Attenborough).

It turns out that if you squint just enough, the street sign at the back can be deciphered giving us Morrison Street as the location. Specifically the southern end of Morrison Street where it joins with

Queen's Road Central. There is a sort of red brick and granite blur in the background (actually, it looks to be covered in bamboo scaffolding) which is the former Western Market Southern block. This (and the building on the left) was knocked down to make way for the Sheung Wan Municipal Services building.
