New year, new film and this time back just a few years to 2002 when Takeshi Miike was in town to direct a dystopian (ish) scifi thriller,
Dead or Alive: Final, starring Shô Aikawa as a former battle cyborg wandering around Yokohama. In fact, it was entirely shot in Hong Kong. The film starts at the family home of Officer Honda (Riki Takeuchi), a Yokohama police officer responsible for rounding up gangsters and people with illegal pregnancies - births are Govt regulated in the future.
Anyway, it looks to me as though the location for Honda's house is located along Hang Hau Wing Lung Road in the Clearwater Bay area of Sai Kung District. It's hard to see from what's publicly available online but I think this is House 4 of Wing Lung Villas. Google Streetview shows the same 6-pane window of that house and matching wiggly ceiling decorations
here (you need Chrome to view, I think).
