Police Story 2 - Jackie Chan (1988) - Gloucester Road, Hong Kong

Ka Kui is told by May's aunt that the gang are across the road keeping an eye on them. However, "across the road" in this movie means several miles away across the harbour on Hong Kong Island. Ka Kui then proceeds to jaywalk across Gloucester Road to reach Harcourt House where the gang are eating in a cafe on the ground floor.

Ka Kui gets hit by a van on the slip road that runs alongside the main highway. It looks like - given the amount of damage it gets - the cafe was a studio mockup. The space where it was has since been occupied by several car dealerships including Mazda, Ford, VW, and is currently occupied by Lexus.
