First images I need help with are from the opening shots of TNT Jackson (I recently found a better print courtesy of the Internet Archive).
Help Me!
By popular demand, I will be reinstating my "Help Me page for all those locations that have just been eluding me. Any suggestions welcome as often even a wrong guess can trigger a new train of thought and potential lead. Thanks in advance. (images to follow).

That was filmed on Watercress Street in Mong Kok, or Sai Yeung Choi Street as it is officially known. 鳳如大茶樓 "Fung Yue Tea House" was located in the still-standing Wing Wah Building at No. 14-24. The restaurant space has been turned into Hollywood Shopping Centre.
As for the sign on the left, only the last word is visible, but it should have read 國際大酒樓 "International Restaurant". It was in the, likewise still-standing, Good Hope Building at 612-618 Nathan Road.
The sign that I found interesting is the horizontally mounted "江大飯店". Its first letter was obstructed, but it if it was 滬江, then the restaurant is still in 'bidness', as Jock and J.R. Ewing would say.
I have been to the current 滬江 in a basement shop on Peking Road across from iSquare. As far as I know, it has always been there, though the address reads 27-33 Nathan Road with the sole entrance on Peking Road. Earlier Google streetviews showed a different sign that still read 滬江大飯店 and noted it had been in bidness since 1984, but the current sign does not have the "大". Perhaps it was opened before 1984 and in a different location.
Thanks Rodney, you have the honour of being the first person to identify a shot on the all new Help Me page. I'll create a new post with the location at some point and add your comment to it. Many thanks. Phil
