Die Sieben Masken des Judoka - Heinz Drache (1967) - Pacific Islands Shipbuilding, Kowloon Bay

Yes, an older movie that I covered many years ago (2018 to be precise, and I have since decided to list it on the right hand side under its original title: Casse-tête chinois pour le Judoka, but have yet to bother changing all the post titles). This one is being done now because it was another of my pandemic finds back in 2021 that I thought I had already posted but checked back recently (you'll see why in a few posts) and realised I had forgotten about it.

The location can be seen during footchase that actually ends up over on Ap Lei Chau, but the initial scenes were shot at the Pacific Islands ShipBuilding shipyard in Kowloon Bay. This was worked out by triangulating the background buildings with the large gantry that can be seen below. The building behind it was Block 13 of the Ngau Tau Kok Resettlement Estate and was still under construction at the time.

Take note of the small Chinese-roofed hut in the lower image as this will pop up in a later post for another film.

This whole area now sits under where Kowloon Bay MTR station depot and the Telford Gardens development now sits. The former aforementioned Block 13 site now holds the reasonably newish "Kowloon Cultural Centre".
