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.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I think you want "bridle", not "bridal", even though the path may have been used more by newlywed women than horses.

haha, yes, thanks. All pedants welcome.
