The hoarding behind was most likely for the construction of the new TVB studio buildings

Royal Warriors - Michelle Yeoh (1986) - Shaw Movietown Dormitories, Clearwater Bay
Now for the first of a few posts that deal with the car chase. A chase that, as you'll see, covers so much ground it must have taken at least a week to shoot. It starts with a car bomb as Yamamoto's (Sanada) wife and daughter are preparing to drive to the airport. This was filmed along the side road to Shaws Movietown where the staff dormitories still stand (for now). The building site on the opposite side of the road (where Raging Bull comes from in his truck) was most likely the site for the new TVB studio buildings. These have been demolished already, along with most of the rest of Movietown.

How did I not spot that. Only watched it a couple of months back. One of my favourite films. I remember Michelle saying in 'Comabt' that Sanada brought his own stunt guys over. They would be out jogging every morning. The HK stuntmen not so much.
you're in luck, the next 8 posts are dedicated to this one chase! haha
