Police Story 2 - Jackie Chan (1988) - Diamond Hill MTR Station, Diamond Hill

Continuing the MTR theme from the last few posts and our final station stop for John Cheung is Diamond Hill MTR station. Although again this has changed - drastically - since the film was made. In fact changed again just recently with the opening of the Tuen Ma line (formerly West Rail) extension between Tai Wai and East Tsim Sha Tsui which now goes through the extended Diamond Hill station.

Anyway, the exit that Cheung leaves the station by was removed sometime in the 1990s to make way for an additional block of Lung Poon Court called Lung Wan House. In the top image the only thing still around today are the large vent buildings immediately behind. In the second image (another one missing from my DVD), as he gets into yet another taxi, pretty much all of the buildings in the background have been replaced by high rises with the exception of the Shek On Building. It's the small building with the red facade poking out from behind the exit wall.
