The Taxi Driver - David Chiang (1975) - Tung Kwong Road, San Po Kong

Chen picks up a female passenger who needs to get to hospital because her baby is about to be born, but they get stuck in traffic. Here are a couple of screencaps from that sequence that were filmed on Tung Kwong Road. The old Tung Tau Estate is on the left and the Kai Tak nullah is on the other side of the wall next to the driver. He has to stop his car and look for a doctor to help the woman have her baby. The second image shows the place where the car is stopped. This is where Tung Kwong Road turns west (we are looking south in that image) into the Tung Tau Estate. The shanty town in the background is the famous Nga Tsin Wai Village. We then get a view of Block 13 of the Tung Tau Estate which has ringside seats for the whole spectacle. This is now occupied by the newer Yiu Tung House since the estate was redeveloped and upgraded.
