Yellow Emanuelle - Chai Lee (1977) - Old Blocks on Ma Tau Kok Road

I thought this view of a plane lifting off at Kai Tak was quite interesting because it shows some of the area just to the south of the airport site. I think this shot was most probably shot when this scene was being filmed because it is basically filmed from the same location.

In the initial image below you can just see the top corner of the old Ma Tau Kok Public Pier- which I have just recently confirmed has been completely removed due to the construction of the "Central Kowloon Route". The Kowloon City Ferry Pier is untouched but the route emerges from a tunnel right next to it and the old public pier was directly in the way.

Anyway, the old brown buildings that can be seen in the other images are nameless Chinese tenements that still exist along the very tip of Ma Tau Kok Road and are separated by Hing Yin Street, Chung Sun Street and Ming Lun Street.

The gas works in front was once part of the extended site that has since been redeveloped into a residential development called the "Grand Waterfront". The gasworks are still around but the site is now limited to the opposite side of To Kwa Wan Road (reminder).
