Painted Faces - Sammo Hung (1988) - U Lam Terrace, Sheung Wan

As the boys make their way home from the rice collevtion at the jetty, they stop to buy toys at a hawker stall. The stone steps in the background lead up to U Lam Terrace from Rozario Street. The stone balustrade of the steps has had a bit of a clean up since the movie was made and it also looks as though someone - not very skilled - has tried to repair parts of it much in the same way that the Spanish lady tried to restore that painting of Jesus a few years back. For a better view of how the steps used to look then you can view an image from 1996 on Gwulo that shows a better match to how it looked when the movie was shot.
