Police Story 2 - Jackie Chan (1988) - Star Ferry Car Park, Edinburgh Place

I believe this final 1950s-era monument to the former Star Ferry infrastructure in Central is also about to be redeveloped. What it will be replaced with is hardto tell because my understanding is that HSBC's lease secures them an open view to the harbour in front to allow good superstitious bullshit fung shui. Anything taller than a couple of storeys will probably not be allowed. This could be some of the usual Hong Kong folk lore though rather than reality, I guess time will tell. It's seen its fair share of movie and TV shoots over the years and in Police Story 2 it is the location where the explosives supplier is abducted by the bombing gang because they know he talked to the police when he was arrested. Again, for some reason this is another brief shot that was cut from the Cantonese (i.e. Fortune Star) DVD release.
