City on Fire - Chow Yun Fat (1987) - Middle Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

As Tiger and Ko Chow case up a few jewellery stores along Nathan Road,they take a lunch break on the corner of Middle/Nathan Roads and watch two women emerge from the Peninsula Hotel across the street.

In the background you can see the sign for the Kowloon Hotel which was in the news recently when the actor Kenneth Tsang passed away in one of the rooms during his quarantine stay. Sadly, the hotel staff were unwilling to open the room for his daughter when she lost contact with him. A sad indictment of Hong Kong's increasingly ridiculous Covid restrictions and the repurcussions the Govt has threatened should any rules be broken i.e. the staff were more fearful of the Govt than they were of a man (a revered HK actor, no less) dying in one of their rooms.
