Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Kam Lam Street, Mongkok

Jack appears to live on Kam Lam Street, because at the end of the film he leaves his apartment and is immediately followed by what turn out to be a couple of androids. He is approached by the brother of one of his victims, intent on revenge, and manages to avoid all projectiles as the androids engage the brother in what has to be the lamest gunfight in the history of cinema. This was all filmed at the junction with Soy Street. I believe the tree mural is still there.

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - China Cafe, Mongkok

More confirmation that this film was shot circa 2019 by the fact that the famous China Cafe serves as one of the locations. This is where Dr Bergman meets Jack to tell him what he has found out about his background and why he is ill. This place was a very popular filming location and sadly closed on the very last day of 2019. Sean Tierney visited the location when it was still operating. If you're reading this Sean, how about restarting your channel?

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - View over the Lisboa, Macau

Another nice aerial shot, this time we are looking down upon the original Lisboa Hotel and Casino, and the great big shiny egg-shaped ground floor of the more recently built (I say recent, but it's been completed for nearly 20 years) Grand Lisboa.

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong

Another aerial view, this time over Central in Hong Kong. This is a night time view of Queen's Road Central with Standard Chartered Bank on the right hand side (which means we're looking west).

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Kam Mong Restaurant, Portland Street

Jack goes out for dinner with April at the Kam Mong Restaurant on Portland Street. Sadly, it looks like this is another one that fell by the wayside and closed due to the Covid restrictions. The space is now occupied by a place called "Fish Villa".

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Future Bright Amusement Park Ice Rink, Macau

The ice skating scenes were filmed over in Macau on the small ice hockey rink in the Future Bright Amusement Park. It's located just down from the Camoes Garden.

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - I-Feng Mansion, To Kwa Wan

I Feng Mansion has cropped up in quite a few places. In this film, it is supposed to be the rooftop above where Dr Bergman (Hugo Weaving) lives. Apparently, to make something a bit more futuristic, all you have to do is add some lights.

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Mido Cafe, Yaumatei

Jack goes for coffee with April at the Mido Cafe. Note that this was before the neon sign was removed by the Government. These places have so much more character with their neon signs, but apparently Hong Kong feels it is better to remove them all.

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Alleyway off Soy Street, Mongkok

As Jack is being followed by the mysterious bald guy, he heads down an alleyway between Soy Street and Changsha Street to lose him, but when he turns around to confront him in the alleyway, he has disappeared. The Sun Ming Building can be seen on Soy Street in the background. If this place rings a bell it might be because it is the building that replaced the famous Wan Loi Tea House that was used in Hard Boiled.

Expired - Ryan Kwanten (2021) - Cameron Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

After following April around, Jack is also tailed by a mystery man with a bald head (Andrew Ng), who follows him from the alleyway onto Cameron Road.
