Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui

Wang Yu stops the car and hears a ticking coming from the back. He suddenly realises the girl has tricked him into the car to be killed when he realises all the doors are jammed shut. The location is between the junctions of Chatham Court and Observatory Road. Some of the buildings in the images below are still around. In image 1, the car is parked in front of the alleyway next to a building with a cantilevered second floor. This is Golden Mansion at 83-85a Chatham Road South. South Sea Apartments behind it is alos still around.

Image 2 shows the opposite side of the road and some of the Nissen huts that formed part of the Chatham Road Army camp - Camp Kowloon. For a reminder of what it looked like, check out this still from Narazumono.

The lowest image shows the view looking north along the road with the St Mary's Canossian College building in the distance. But just before there are two blocks on either side of Austin Avenue. Grandview Mansion and Winston Mansion. Both are still around as I write but the building on the left of frame has since been redevloped into the Popway Hotel.
