Hitman - Jet Li (1998) - Riviera Ice Chalet, Tsuen Wan

The ice rink that Lo's daughter takes Fu to, to try and pick his brain, was the Riviera Ice Chalet located on 3/F of Riviera Plaza in Tsuen Wan. Sadly the place closed down circa 2012 and it looks like the whole mall was closed down the year after. The mall is attached to a large residential development (Riviera Gardens) and due to its difficult-to-reach location failed to attract anyone other than nearby residents. The structure is still there but apparently now empty. Although it seems that the mall owners are in talks with international schools about turning it into the Hong Kong branch of a western private fee-paying school. Time will tell. It seems though that since then it has appeared in a couple of movies including Donnie Yen's Raging Fire. Perhaps I will try and get a copy to see at some point.
