The Confidence Man JP: The Movie - Masami Nagasawa (2019) - Woosung Street, Yau Ma Tei

One of the last shots in the film is of a street cleaner sweeping around Woosung Street with the old dai pai dong stalls on the corner of Pak Hoi Street on the other side of the road. This place was popular with tourists and locals alike but the Govt didn't like the tent like structure the stalls were all housed in and have replaced it with a modern dedicated building with a proper roof and walls. In other words, made it like every other restaurant in HK - once again missing the whole point of a place's fundamental appeal.
