The Killer - Chow Yun Fat (1989) - Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation, Lam Tin

Arriving at the so-called "Scared Heart Hospital" - a very typical but hilarious Hong Kong spelling mistake, of course it should say "Sacred" - Ah Jong rushes the girl into the casualty department so she can be attended to.

In reality this was (and still is) a real medical facility. Originally constructed on Rehab Path as the Margaret Trench Medical Rehabilitation centre, by the time of filming it was the HQ of the Hong Kong Sports Association for the Physically Handicapped - later renamed to the Hong Kong Sports Association for the Physically Disabled. Anyway, it's still around and is now the Lam Tin HQ for the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation but now has several new buildings that form part of the Red Cross Princess Alexandra School. It looks like the boarding house of the school replaced the section containing the access slopes that Ah Jong can be seen running down once he makes his escape from the cops.
