The Ghost - Julie Lee Wah-yuet (2001) - Prat Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui
Some generic neon signs are always useful when you want to pretend your film is taking place in Hong Kong, so here is a brief view we get in the film before the camera suddenly edits to a street in Los Angeles (or wherever it was filmed). The large red sign at the top says (reading r-l) "奧運桌球會" which is basically a sign for a table tennis club that used to be located on Prat Avenue. This is a view of Hong Kong that no longer exists because the Govt had a blitz starting about ten or so years ago and removed all the old, and very cool looking, signboards all over the territory.
