Righting Wrongs - Yuen Biao (1986) - Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kowloon

The establishing shot used for the hospital scene - where Biao and Rothrock swear revenge over the body of Louis Fan - was Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kowloon. The main building has changed little, but the carpark and connecting walkways you can see in the image below have since been removed and replaced by a brand new annex that contains the Block D operating theatre.

This is the last proper Hong Kong shot of the film because the subsequent warehouse scenes where the fight with Melvin Wong starts looks to have been shot in a studio (or at least an anonymous warehouse that defies identification) and the airborne shots at the end were, like the film's opening gun fight, filmed in New Zealand.
