Another of the few, brief, real locations where the actors (or in this case, actor) shot a scene. I wonder of part of the issue was the fact that filming permits were required at this time. I believe it's only recently that the requirement for filming permits has been dropped in Hong Kong unless the filming would require some sort of crowd or traffic control and the police would need to be used. I could be wrong of course, but it may explain why so many of these films that bothered to come all the way here to shoot, did very little other than distant street shots and establishing shots. Feel free to educate me in the comments if you know better.
Anyway, in this scene LaGrane is trying to track down his wayward partner and stops to use a phone box located at the junction of Argyle Street and Nathan Road. The first image is looking west down Argyle Street and you can just see a distant floating dredger's crane at a time when the old typhoon shelter was still around.
