Election - Simon Yam (2005) - Old Wanchai Police Station, Wanchai

The police station where Simon Yam's character is being held is Wanchai Police Station on Gloucester Road. It's no longer used as a Police Station and was closed a few years ago with questions over what would happen to it. I believe it is being adapted for some other purpose. It's actually the only police station I have ever been in - I had to go and give a statement once following being approached by an illegal taxi driver at the airport - back in the time when the Hong Kong Police force still commanded some sort of respect (i.e. before 2014). This is a very popular angle of this building because it's shot from the nearby Fleming Road pedestrian footbridge.

It's featured (briefly, in the background) once on this blog before - in a minibus scene with Jeremy Irons and Maggie Cheung in Chinese Box.
