City on Fire - Chow Yun Fat (1987) - Wo Shui Street, Fo Tan

Well, after a big of investigation it appears that the Jewelry factory heist sequence was filmed in (at least) three different locations. I've already posted the main location at the Chung Pak Commercial Building in Yau Tong but remarked that the shootout scenes didn't match the area. It turns out I was right and have found the street the police approach down before being shot up by the gangsters. It was filmed at Wo Shui Street in Fo Tan. The clue to finding this location was the train being unloaded in the far distance. This limited the location to somewhere near a siding along the old KCR track and eventually helped me locate the street in Fo Tan. However, in finding this location I then also realised that yet another street was used for the brief shot of the getaway cars speeding off around the corner, so the mystery isn't completely solved just yet.
