Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Theatre Lane , Central

Episode 4 didn't really have too many recognisable locations, so I'm moving on to episode 5, Jumping Dragon. This one is about a trans national gold smuggling operation using a flight crew flying in and ou of Hong Kong. The ending is a bit grim for a prime time TV show (don't forget you can watch most of the episodes on line via this rather excellent Rod Taylor fan site).

One of the Jumping Dragon episode's establishing shots is a quick look down Theatre Lane in Central. There is also a great colour shot over on Gwulo.com that shows more or less the same view. So in this shot we are looking north up Theatre Lane from the Queen's Road Central. Queen's Theatre would have been on the left side of the camera. Jimmy's Kitchen stayed at this location for another 15 years or so.
