Black Cobra Woman - Laura Gemser (1976) - Magazine Heights, Mid-Levels
Despite initially thinking that Palance's rather palatial abode was supposed to be 40 Peak Road, some later scenes in the film (when the ambulance comes to take away Julias' girlfriend after she is bitten by one of the snakes) show the driveway the vehicle is parked on is actually that of Magazine Heights - one of the older high rises on Magazine Gap Road. This is also true when Eva returns from her vacation in a taxi and alights at the same place. I guess the filmmakers didn't have permission to film at #40 and this was a compromise.
The later scene gives us a nice view over Central from the building's curved driveway.

Knew someone who lived in that block. Apartment nothing special, but the views to die for.
Hi Howard - yes, one of the older, higher blocks that still benefits from unspoilt views (relatively speaking) over the harbour. Unless Borret mansions gets redeveloped into a 100-storey high rise, I think the view will remain for quite some time to come. Phil
