Narazumono - Ken Takakura (1964) - Market Street, Yau Ma Tei

As Minami walks around trying not to be seen he gets involved in some kerbside gambling and promptly wins the top prize. This scene was shot around Market Street, right next to the public toilet building that sits along Market Street and its junction with Shanghai Street. The street sign is a bit of a giveaway in this shot. You may recall that this are popped up a while back, the lower shot in this post from Heisser Hafen Hongkong (1962) showing the same place (with the toilet building just off screen to the right) and from another angle in a scene from Ein Sarg aus Hong Kong (and used again later in The Million Eyes of Sumuru) shot the same year as Narazumono.
