The second sequence is one following an aircraft as it takes off along the old runway. The three buildings in the background of the bottom image still exist. The one on the left with red window trim is the Fen Hin Industrial Building. In the middle is the Peter Leung Industrial Building and on the right is a building called the CCF Building. All sit along Wai Yip Street in Kwun Tong which is now largely obscured from this angle by a new round of waterfront development.

Powaqqatsi - Godfrey Reggio (1988) - View of Kai Tak, Kowloon
There are a couple of shots of the Kai Tak area in this film, the first one is a view across the bay towards Richland Gardens. The angle and power of the lens makes it difficult to know exactly where the camera was placed when filming, but I am guessing somewhere at the tip of Hung Hom - possibly around where the Laguna Verde development now stands.
