They Call Her Cleopatra Wong - Marrie Lee (1978) - Chatham Road North, Hung Hom

As the truck carrying the illicit goods (strawberry jams jars packed with forged currency) makes its way towards its destination, Cleo follows behind in a taxi and we are treated to this view of the Hung Hom Interchange from either the King's Park High Level Service Reservoir (we shall come to that place separately in a couple of posts) or Chung Hau Street. For a comparison view taken some ten or eleven years later, you can see these screencaps from an episode of Yellowthread Street (posted way back in 2014).


Of course this area has changed vastly since then, and most recently with the opening of Ho Man Tin MTR station at the bottom of the hill where the camera is placed. Although the older tenement buildings seen in the last captures are still around for now. Here is a panorama I stitched together. It looks a bit messy because the camera pans down to the left as the truck goes by.
