Beyond Hypothermia - Jacklyn Wu Chien-lien (1996) - Centre Street, Sai Ying Pun

The next film is another one of those local films that actually qualify for my (very loose) definition of an "international" movie courtesy of it being a Hong Kong/South Korea co-production. It also appears to hold the esteemed title of being the very first Milkyway production.

The story revolves around a nameless female assassin played by Jacklyn Wu, who falls for a humble noodle stall owner, Long (Sean Lau). In between contracts she stops by his nearby stall and eats his noodles and he slowly starts to anticipate her random reappearances. Eventually though, her work catches up with her as she is spotted killing a Korean businessman, whose bodyguard takes it upon himself to seek revenge and he follows her back to Hong Kong.

Long's noodle stall is located at the very top of Centre Street in Sai Ying Pun. The area where the stall was is now unrecoginsable due to the (recent - circa 2015?) construction of some escalators. However, some elements remain including the view of the harbour and the assassin's apartment block (#47-49 High Street). The Google marker keeps snapping to 35 Bonham Road, but the actual location is the adjacent section of Centre Street.
