One of the real gems of this film in terms of locations is the use of the old Marine Police HQ for the main police station where Officer Honda works. Miike took the opportunity to use the place when it was in a state of complete emptiness and looking rather neglected and dilapidated. Of course, it has since gone on to become the rather gaudy Hullet House/1881 Heritage shopping mall.
We get a fair amount of interior scenes of the main building, as well as a couple of scenes shot inside the round time ball tower, a brief scene on the roof and also at the side where the garages are. Perhaps there are some former HK Police and Marine Police members who are able to identify some of the interior locations within the building.
