Story of Ricky - Louis Fan Siu-wong (1991) - Estabelecimento Prisional de Macau, Coloane

The main setting for the story is a prison and the film used the very real Macau prison (on Coloane, then called the "Estabelecimento Prisional Masculino") for the location filming. The prison looks brand new and this is most likely because that the crew probably shot there soon after its completion, but before it became operational, in 1990.

Having said that, it's obvious many of the interiors (and some exteriors) were studio sets. It might be possible to figure out some of the exteriors (such as Ricky's burial punishment scene, or the final [spoiler alert] wall breaking scene) but then again, it might not.
