Blade in Hong Kong- Terry Lester (1985) - New World Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui

Another aerial shot, this time of Salisbury Road and the recently demolished New World Centre and Apartments in Tsim Sha Tsui (the brown buildings on the waterfront). There's quite a lot to see in the upper image including the corner of the Shangri-La Hotel and Wing On Plaza (far right), Blackhead Point and the old signal tower, and the Planetarium. The fact that the Cultural Centre is missing behind the planetarium makes me think this isn't library footage but was most likely shot for the film.

The New World Centre and New World Apartments were demolished about 5 years ago to make way for the new (and very ugly) waterfront K11 malls.
