Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Central Police Station, Hollywood Road

I can't vouch for the interior shots but following the car explosion, everyone retires to the Central Police Station to discuss their plan of action.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Yuk Yat Street, Hung Hom

The bad guys place a time bomb on the retrieved submerged car so that any evidence of their shenanigans is destroyed. This shot shows the said car being towed up Yuk Yat Street just prior to exploding. The white building behind was part of the Wyler Textiles factory that was located on this block until it was replaced by Wyler Gardens in 1979. The taller buildings in the background are still around. They're the "Lucky Building" and "Kapok Industrial Building" on San Ma Tau Street. You can just see a gas holder to the left of the buildings - part of the still in use Ma Tau Kok Gas Works.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Shun Fung Street, Hung Hom

The band member is discivered by the bad guys and beaten up for stealing the money. As the baddies decide what to do with him, he steals a car and drives away. It doesn't end well for him though as he loses control along Shun Fung Street and steers himself into the harbour. The Winner Building was a real place and located opposite Shun Fung Street on Yuk Yat Street. "Bayview" now sits on the site.

In the second image you can see the famous "Fish Tail Rock" (魚尾石) in the background. This rock formation was opriginally part of a small offshore islet called Hoi Sham Island. But during the 1960s the reclamation of Hung Hom Bay meant it was absorbed into the new waterfront. I'm not sure but I think the island had yet to be completely absorbed at the time of filming. These days the area has been turned into a small park called Hoi Sham Park. The images below show that the shoreline where the car is being fished out is the same shoreline that can be seen today i.e. no further reclamation has been done since then (at least for now...).

In the far background of that second shot you can also see the former Hok Yuen Power Station (far left) and the darker Green Island Cement Works next door. The owner of Green Island Cement, Li K-shing, went on to develop that whole area into what is now a development called "Laguna Verde".

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Shaws Movietown

 Agent 009 finds out from his singer/girlfriend that her boyfriend, one of the band members, has got hold of some of the counterfeit cash, so he goes to the guy's apartment to investigate. Sadly the Oriental Hotel wasn't a real place and was just one of the Shaw Buildings dressed up with a false entrance/facade. I talked about the same building in this post, but if you miss the Streetview link in that post, here it is again. I'm not sure what purpose this place served in the general goings-on at Shaws, it may have just been an admin building. Either way, the ground floor was dressed up nicely to look like a hotel. In the screen cap below you can see the striped poles that held up the roof of a car port. A better view of the car port can be seen here.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Hillside Villa, 11 Fei Ngo Shan Road

We're back up in the Fei Ngo Shan Road/Customs Pass region as the bad guys are followed back to their hideout by 009. This property was actually still around until circa 2010 when it was finally replaced by a more modern mansion. What a shame, so many of these houses were so stylish compared to their modern day replacements. Money doesn't buy you taste I'm afraid. If you want to see what it looked like just prior to demolition, go here: GoogleEarth.

This is location where the gang boss, played by Margaret Tu Chuan, lives surrounded by her henchmen. It's hinted in the film that she answers to someone higher up but I don't recall this particular plot loose end being tied up.

When 009 first approaches, he parks his car outside a house on the opposite side of the road - #10 - and it's a property we have seen a little bit of previously.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Pacific Islands Shipbuilding Company Shipyard, Kowloon Bay

The bad guys are running their operations from an industrial site in Kowloon Bay. The landmark that helped place this particular site is the building in the background of the first image. It's the former Amoycan Industrial Centre. It was redeveloped into an apartment complex starting circa 2020 following a devastating fire that killed two firemen in 2016. The relative location of our filming site puts it somewhere along the old Kowloon Bay waterfront in an area that is now completely occupied by Telford Gardens and the MTR Kowloon Bay depot. In fact, I am fairly certain this was part of the former PAcific Islands Shipbuilding Company shipyard. If you read my recent post for Die sieben Masken des Judoka (aka Casse-tête chinois pour le judoka) then you will recognise the small hut with the Chinese roof in the background. This was one of my pandemic finds when I had a whole bunch of time on my hands - another one that I forgot to post about until I was writing this post.

Anyway, as you can see in the lower image, the same small hut with the Chinese roof can be seen in the image below as can be seen in the stills from that film, shot the same year.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Shatin Pass Road, Tze Wan Shan

Following the car chase where the pair outwitted their pursuers, 009 drops his buddy off next to the old Wong Tai Sin Infirmary on Shatin Pass Road. It's now run by Tung Wah Group of Hospitals but still has the same wall with the circular/honeycomb upper section.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Lung Cheung Road, Wong Tai Sin

Another car chase ensues as the pair manage to escape being killed by the staff of the company they just visited. This shot below shows both cars driving east along Lung Cheung Road next to the Wong Tai Sin Resettlement Estate. The road marks the split between the upper "low cost housing" estate (on the left) and the lower "resettlement" estate (on the right). Here's the same view today: GoogleEarth.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Tung Ming Street, Kwun Tong

Agent 009, along with his newly acquired sidekick (Lee Kwan) who he first met when he was arrested, heads off to the company where the two assassinated agents worked. The building where the company was based was located on Tung Ming Street in Kwun Tong. The initial view below, looking up Tung Ming Street, is remarkably similar today. The building on the left is the St. John the Baptist School. However, the building the actors go into, located on the corner with Yee On Street, was replaced by the Kwong Ming Building in 1987.

Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Clearwater Bay Apartments, Ka Shue Road

Agent 009 is staying at a "hotel" that was in reality the relatively newly built Clearwater Bay Apartments on Ka Shue Road. This development, consisting of four buildings (making up eight blocks) was built in 1963 and look to be still going strong. Just by looking at the slope in the background I can tell that the building used for the film was Block G and H - the furthest from Clearwater Bay Road.

The lowest image shows Margaret Tu Chuan (she was to tragically commit suicide a couple of years later) who plays the main female baddie, as she gets out of her car. In the background is Junk Bay when it was still filled with water rather than concrete and highrises.
