Geostorm - Gerard Butler (2017) - Tung Choi Street, Mongkok

We first get to see Daniel Wu, looking quite nerdy, working at his desk and finding some anomaly on his computer display. He heads out to get some refreshment at a store. This scene was filmed all the way over on Tung Choi Street in Mongkok. The stairs at the back lead up to the Mongkok Road pedestrian walkway that has featured a few times in the last year or so.

Readers may know this street better as "Goldfish Street" because this is where all the aquarium and pet shops are located in Mongkok. I was walking around here one evening after the shops had closed and was astounded to see the public bins stuffed full off plastic bags containing the dead fish that weren't sold during the day.


There is a sudden heat spike and the ground explodes as some underground pipes melt and burst through the surface. Wu quickly drives away closely followed by the exploding pipes. There is another quick scene shot from the other end of Tung Choi Street (north of Bute Street) before a cut/edit to the next part of the escape sequence.
