Election - Simon Yam (2005) - Sung Tak Street, Wanchai

As Lok and Big D put their takeover plans into effect, they lure another gang leader to a Wine & Oyster Bar and then kill him to take over his territory. They lull him into a false sense of security and manage to convince his guards that they need to move away because the police are nearby.

The bar in question was a unit on Sung Tak Street - literally around the corner (in fact less than 10 meters) from the location where Big D was arrested earlier in the film. I'm not sure if the business was a real one at the time of filming, but suffice to say the building and premises has undergone a complete change and redecoration since 2005. The latest streetview image appears to show a small bar/restaurant called "San Ka La" (山旮旯). The bottom image shows the doomed gangster's entourage all parked up on nearby Oi Kwan Road in front of Tang Shiu Kin Secondary School.
