Bamboo Gods and Iron Men - James Iglehart (1974) - Upper Lascar Row, Hong Kong

After lunch, the pair go for some touristy sightseeing and there is a shot of them walking out of Upper Lascar Row - a.k.a "Cat Street" - onto Ladder Street. In the film they look past the camera location and see the "Yue Po Chai Curios Store" when in reality they would just be looking to the other side of Ladder Street. The aforementioned store is on Hollywood Road, up some steps on their right.

Upper Lascar Row is really disappointing to visit these days - I guess you could say the same for many places in Hong Kong. It's just full of nasty cheap tat - the same sort of stuff that can be bought at the equally disappointing street markets in Mongkok.
