Mad Mission 3: Our Man from Bond Street - Sam Hui (1984) - Former Government Offices, Canton Road

Despite getting ready over on Hong Kong Island, the building used for the heist appears to be the Government Offices on Canton Road in Kwun Chung. These were demolished around 2010 and replaced by (as with everything old in Hong Kong) a residential development (Grand Austin). We get a few shots of the building as well as the related boat berths on the harbourfront. This dock was located just a little bit north of the Fire Brigade Dock seen in The Sand Pebbles.

It looks like pretty much all of the ground-level shots from this sequence were also filmed here. The final image shows the old entrance, located on the southern end of the main block.
