The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - Pathway next to the KCR track, Kowloon Tong
Ling Xi's brother has tricked them both into returning Cindy home and a fight ensues between the two brothers. Surprisingly for a Chang Cheh film they both keep their shirts on, but the fight carries on along a small bridal path running alongside the old KCR track. This was when the track was still single-track and yet to be electrified. The wooded hillock on the left of the top image is where Festival Walk was later constructed. The area behind Ti Lung in the centre image is the former British garrison Ordnance Depot which contained St George's School (and apparently a primary school called St Andrew's). These days there is a cluster of Govt offices and schools on the site including Yew Chung and the Australian International School. Once again, the google marker is playing up and snapping to nearby buildings, but basically this area where the filming was done is between today's To Fuk Road and the railway track just opposite Yew Chung International Secondary School.

The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - Sau Chuk Yuen Road, Kowloon Tsai
One street over to Nga Tsin Wai Road is Sau Yuen Chuk Road and we see the pair walking along here just as Ling Xi's brother (played by a bespectacled Ti Lung - who, incidentally, I passed on the escalators the other week at Festival Walk) stops in his car and convinces them to get in. The initial shots are of Sau Chuk Yuen Road, but the later ones are of College Road.

The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - Waterloo Road, Kowloon
The last image is basically looking in the opposite direction as the pair walk back up towards the same junction from the south. In the far distance, between the trees, you can see the two blocks of Nairn House. As usual the Google marker wants to snap to the nearest building.

The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - To Fuk Road, Kowloon Tong
The first image we see is of Cindy walking home with her friends. The lower wall behind them belongs to 13 York Road and remains to this day although it has had some additional height added to it, the original section can still be recognised. Here is the current streetview for context.
Later in the film we get to see in the other direction as Ling Xi's brother (played by a bespectacled Ti Lung) tricks Cindy into going home and a fight breaks out between the two brothers next to the railway track. Note the no entry signs at the end of the road. These mark the boundary of the Military area that was located there. I believe it was the former Ordnance Depot of the army and contained St George's School, a UK army school for garrison children.
The scenes where Ling Xi climbs up the side of the house to Cindy's bedroom though, I believe these were shot at Movietown on a specially constructed facade. The house facade in the movie looks a bit too slapdash to have been real, and the environment doesn't look right for Kowloon Tong.

The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - Cairnmount, Customs Pass
In the film, this is where Ling Xi (Chiang) lives with his family and spends all day tinkering with his car in the garage.
I'm not sure when the property was demolished but the development standing on the site today, a small luxury townhouse estate called Ming Wah Yuen (明華園), was completed in 1990. It looks like it's possible the property was still there up until the work started for the new development (as opposed to being demolished and having the site left empty for years) and so perhaps demolished circa 1988/89?
This 1963 aerial image below doesn't include the swimming pool that can be seen in the screen shots. It was built later in the lower right hand side of the garden area.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Dragonara, 248 Tai Mong Tsai Road
The building has an occupation permit issued in April of 1974 - almost a whole year after this film was released. So it might have been newly finished when the film crew used it. It does appear that the interiors are also the same property rather than being a studio set.
