Fearless Tiger - Jalal Merhi (1991) - Shanghai Street, Kwun Chung

One of the street scenes involving Lyle walking around trying to find his friend's kung fu school was filmed at the junction of Shanghai Street and Bowring Street in Kwun Chung. Lyle passes by a once popular BBQ/roast meat eatery called 沙記乳豬燒臘 (aka "Sha Kei Roast Suckling Pig"). In the image below we are looking at a previous location at #41 Shanghai Street - it later moved a few doors away to the opposite side of the junction before finally closing down sometime in 2022. The top image is pointing south down Shanghai Street towards Austin Road. with Wing Fat Mansion at the far end.



In the same sequence is another shot, and I believe this was looking northwest from the same junction (previous images above are looking southwest). The key here is a sign for the 官涌集友會 - aka roughly translated as the "Kwun Chung Friends Association". It was located on the section of Shanghai Street just north of Bowring Street.
