Flight to Hong Kong - Rory Calhoun (1956) - Peak Road, Magazine Gap

Once the bad guys spot their car, a chase begins. This first shot shows the car driving down Peak Road towards Magazine Gap with 40 Peak Road just out of shot in the top right. Similar shots of the area from other films can be found here.

Tokyo Gang vs Hong Kong Gang - Ken Takakura (1964) - Magazine Gap, The Peak

After leaving Tiger Balm Gardens, the pair are driving down peak Road through Magazine Gap onto magazine Gap Road when they are shot at by the Hong Kong gang members. In image 1 we can see the slope that formed part of the land that #40 Peak Road used to sit on, and in image 2 you can see Katoomba and in the background, Stonecutter island. There's a wider angle view of the exact same area in this post for Foxbat I did a few years ago. Obviously the geographical reality is that you wouldn't be here if you had just left Tai Hang.

Foxbat - Henry Silva (1977) - Magazine Gap, The Peak

About a year ago I put up this post for Black Cobra Woman and it was an establishing shot used in the film for the residence of Jack Palance and his brother (played by Gabriele Tinti). The bluray version of Foxbat has scene that I don't recall from the dvd release. It's a quick shot from almost the same angle/position as the Black Cobra Woman one as Henry Silva's car drives down Peak Road towards Magazine Gap Road.

The large property on the corner is/was #40 Peak Road and as the camera pans to the right towards the harbour we can also see Katoomba in the last three screencaps.

Black Cobra Woman - Laura Gemser (1976) - Magazine Gap, Wanchai

Jack Palance's character in this film, Judas, is supposedly immensely wealthy and one of the establishing shots used to show where he lives is a pan of the area in the vicinity of Magazine Gap. We start with a view across to Central before panning left, past Katoomba (image two) before finally settling on a building that no longer exists but stands at what would have been today's 40 Peak Road.
