Police Story - Jackie Chan (1985) - Shatin Pass Road, Tsz Wan Shan

After his disaster in court, in the HK version of the film Ka Kui is given some punishment by having to man Sha Tau Kok police station. In fact the location we see Jackie at doesn't look like Sha Tau Kok police station and the use of that name - using a fake signboard - was more likely to emphasise how far out in the sticks he was for the local audience. The scene is a slight comedic break from the main story and I don't remember it being part of the film when it was given an international release, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, back in the main thread and Ka Kui goes to meet May following the embarrassment that was his court appearance. Whilst with her he gets a call from his informant telling him Salina is being held hostage at an address. Whilst chatting to May, his crappy car rolls down the hill and takes out a phone box where he was just on the phone to his contact.

The fake phone box was located on the pavement in front of a retaining wall that holds the local CLP offices, just down from the junction with Tsz Wan Shan Road. You can see in the second image that the car has just turned the corner from Tsz Wan Shan Road.
