Crime Lords - Wayne Crawford (1991) - Empress Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui

It's only a brief glimpse, but it appears that the hotel the main characters are staying at is the Empress Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. This was shot just a couple of years before the place was torn down and replaced by Empress Plaza (no doubt the landowners felt there was more money to be made in office and retail space as opposed to hotel rooms). You may or may not recall that this was the same hotel seen in Narazumono about thirty years previously. There's also a brief glimpse of Mody Road as LaGrange (Crawford) tries to chase after Russo (Martin Hewitt).
