Ballad of a Small Player - Colin Farrell (2025) - Unnamed Side Street by Hotel Fortuna
Following the gambler's suicide (shot in Hong Kong), Dao-ming runs away and leaves via a side street. This time we are back in Macau on an unnamed sidestreet next to the Fortuna. Dao-ming leaves via a exit into this side street of the south side of the hotel and Doyle follows her and flags down a taxi. As I've mentioned before, Streetview imagery in Macau hasn't been updated since 2008 but the imagery shows the same place looking bit scruffier in real life. It's most likely had a bit of a spring clean since 2008 though. In case the location label (auto generated at the bottom of the post) snaps away (edit: yes, it snapped away), this is the small road immediately south of Hotel Fortuna.

Still an HK taxi... I wonder if the Macau background was added to this shot.
If you look carefully though it doesn't look like a Toyota Crown Comfort. At least I don't think so. It's a weird continuity choice - to mock up a HK taxi - that makes me think the previous post (and by that, all HK shots) was shot first.
I was walking by there the other day and it turns out this alley has a name... it's Rua de Foshan, which, confusingly, is the same name as the north/south street to the east! You can see the street sign in Google streetview at the east end of the block, north side.
Thanks Dave. Good to know.
