La Moustache - Vincent Lindon (2005) - Star Ferry Piers
On arriving in Hong Kong, Marc finds almost immediate solace by travelling to and fro of the Star Ferry and there is probably a ten minute sequence in the film that features him walking in and out of ferries on both sides of the harbour as he fishes for change to give to the lady in the booth. It's possible that this was one of the last films shot in the old Central Star Ferry Pier before it was unceremoniously demolished in 2006. Remember that the old art deco style clock on the pier was supposed to be saved but was then sneakily destroyed and dumped when no one was watching. Anyway, the following screencaps capture the piers at both sides of the TST <> Central route as well as the "Solar Star" ferry. Apparently, the ferry started service in 1958 making it one of the longest serving in the current fleet.
