Royal Warriors - Michelle Yeoh (1986) - California, Lan Kwai Fong
Another of the signature venues that defined Lan Kwai Fong area in the 80s was "California". I believe it was Allan Zeman's main venture and the one that gave him the foothold there to transform the area into HK's premiere nightlife district. Sadly, the bar, and the California Tower it was based in, were demolished circa 2010. Before the bar was made famous by Chungking Express, it was featured in this film as the place where everybody gets shot to pieces by the bad guy. You may recall that the Jazz Club, located in the neighbouring California Entertainment Building, was also victim of the redevelopment here (both buildings were demolished and replaced by a single larger one called 'New California Tower").
