Bamboo Gods and Iron Men - James Iglehart (1974) - Square Street, Hong Kong

In the film, they order a wooden buddha statuette and ask the shopkeeper to deliver it to their hotel. He gets an errand boy to deliver it, but as the youngster is walking along Hollywood Road he is pulled aside by a gangster who wants to smuggle the "secret powder" in the statuette. The scene shows the boy walking along Hollywood Road before being pulled to one side - however, the next scene cuts to a different location - given away by the street sign in the background. From the angle on the street sign, I believe this is the narrow alleyway right next to the Ladder Street steps.
