A young woman, supposedly Aryoung (although we don't know it's her because her face is obscured) goes into a local barber shop and executes the triad boss that had previously humiliated her at the meeting. This was filmed at a real life establishment called "彩虹南昌髮型屋" and was located on the ground floor of Block 16 of the Shek Kip Mei estate on Shek Kip Mei Street. You can just make out the sign for the adjoining former Shek Kip Mei Post Office on the right.
This block and its adjacent ones (Blocks 15, 17 and 18) were demolished soon after the film was shot and by the time I moved to the area in 2012 the site was just sitting empty. However it now has two gigantic replacement high rises standing there - Mei Pak House and Mei Hei House. I made a comparison photo a few years ago that can be seen on Gwulo
here (Block 16 on the right handside of the original image is where the hairdressers was located).
