I've included Graves' dropping off point as a separate place because it is somewhere that appears to have been part of a temporary road that has since been redeveloped into Aberdeen Promenade. As of the last Streetview (2016) the restaurant pontoons were still there (see here), but whether they are still there following the demise of the Jumbo,I don't know. I will perhaps make the effort to go and find out at some point. Anyway,the location is in front of where the ABBA Housing development was built.
As you can see on film, there was a little cul-de-sac style turnaround here, and this is where he finds his enthsiastic rickshaw puller.

Detonator II: Night Watch - Pierce Brosnan (1995) - Aberdeen, Hong Kong
Not the film finale (it looks as though that may have been filmed in Croatia), but at the end of the car chase the events unfold out at Aberdeen. The scene starts with a view of the ABBA House development (don't ask me about the name, I have no idea) and the camera was obviously placed in the waterfront park on the opposite side of the ride - the clue is the concrete pavilion that you can see the top of. The pavilion and garden are still there.
I've only included a few screen grabs here but the scene is a good few minutes long and was filmed almost entirely in this section of the Aberdeen waterfront. The estate you can see in the lower picture is actually the Ap Lei Chau estate on the opposite side of the harbour.
