The Young Rebel - David Chiang (1975) - Cornwall Street, Kowloon Tong

Our first proper outdoor location is Cornwall Street, and it's a road that crops up multiple times throughout the film, so I have tried to include all its appearances in this one post.

Our first view is along the north side as Gen Lai and Xiao Rong walk along as Rong takes his anger over his father's death out on other people's property. This initial location is next to what is now the Mormon Church at #2 Cornwall Street. For context, Gwulo has a great image of the older property here and you can spot the very same wall seen below. The gateway seen in the third image below is located at the very far left of the Gwulo image and corresponds to #4.

The next appearance of Cornwall Street is during a sequence when Xiao Rong attempts his first delivery "up the Peak". The section of the road he is on is the bridge that crosses the old KCR railtrack

Xiao Rong also makes a delivery to "Villa Cornwall", still located at #12 Cornwall Street.

Next we see Xiao Rong trying to bike away from pursuing bike-riding gangsters. This is a similar view (looking east) to one of the first images above showing Baptist Hospital in the background.

The final image below shows Rong fleeing on his motorcycle following his killing of the opposing gangster boss. In the background is Hillsea Court at #10 Cornwall Street (also still around).
