There follows a chase and shootout in a small town/village and it's possible it was filmed in the small lanes of old Sai Kung town but it's not something I can confirm at the moment. I may pootle over on my bike next week for a looksee.

Le Monocle Rit Jaune - Paul Meurisse (1964) - Sai Kung Waterfront, Sai Kung
Sai Kung waterfront was quite an obscure location for this blog just a few months ago, but then all of a sudden I had a two productions that used the concrete jetty in front of town as a filming location. You can see them both on this post I did after paying a visit there not so long ago. Anyway, it turns out that the year after Brad Harris and Dietmar Schönherr were there filming Weiße Fracht für Hongkong, the French production crew for this film shot a major scene there for the film's denouement (just practicing my non-existent French).

Shirley's World (TV Series) - Shirley MacLaine (1972) - Sai Kung Waterfront, Sai Kung
Another spot from Thomas, this time from Shirley's World when Shirley has her camera stolen and we are led to believe that the thieves live on a boat in Aberdeen Harbour. The terrain just didn't look right to me and I figured it must have been elsewhere with a lively waterfront. Thomas has managed to identify the spot as the waterfront in front of Sai Kung town along Sai Kung Hoi Pong Street. The concrete jetty seen in the TV show is still there although the bit of land on the opposite side of the bay is now vastly more crowded with new development over in Tui Min Hoi.
One particularly recognisable land,mark is the small church over the right shoulder of actor John Gregson in the lowest picture. It's the Chinese Full Gospel Church (Chinese name: 中華完備救恩會, although, sadly, I notice the link I have just given uses Simplified Chinese) over in Tui Min Hoi.
