Bullet for Hire - Simon Yam (1991) - Lan Kwai Fong, Central

The assassins' favourite sauna is a frequent location in this movie. I'm not so sure of its location at the moment, but in one of the scenes they drive their car down Lan Kwai Fong on the way (no, I don't think it was there). The signboard for Post 97, a popular bar, can be seen on the left. The wall at the back on D'Aguilar Street was later partially demolished to make way for LKF Tower.

Later in the film there is a brief glimpse of the frontage of "Scotties", another famous Lan Kwai Fong bar that operated in the 1980s and 90s (see bottom image). I believe it closed in 1993, so a couple of years after this film was released.
