Flight to Hong Kong - Rory Calhoun (1956) - Sham Shui Po Waterfront, Tung Chau Street

My memory has just been jogged by some posts over on Gwulo that feature various shots of the old Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry terminal taken from Flight to Hong Kong. I did a deep dive on this film a few years ago but also went back over it during the slow months of the pandemic and found quite a few more locations that I forgot to post about. So here is the result of the second look starting with an almost unrecognisable old waterfront in Sham Shui Po on what is now Tung Chau Street near Kiu Kiang Street. The big clue to the location here is the balconied building in the background. This was the Jubilee Buildings, a private tenement block that was later acquired by the army and incorporated into the Sham Shui Po Army Camp. It later became a transition centre for Vietnamese refugees awaiting approval for emigration overseas. The street corner where the car is parked is the entrance to what is now the lower section of Kiu Kiang Street.
