Hitman - Jet Li (1998) - Bailey Street, Hung Hom

I didn't post this one when I should have because it was quite difficult to track down. Just after Fu loses his $5 coin and it rolls down the hill from the Tung Tai Supermarket, he manages to catch up with it just before a nearby beggar snags it for his collection tin. This was actually filmed all the way over in Kowloon on Bailey Street. The brown-tile building with the "Midland Realty" office in the background is the lower levels/podium of Bailey Garden. That's quite a roll for that little $5 coin. We were last in this vicinity about a year ago for The Big Game.

The Big Game - Brendan Boone (1973) - Bailey Street, Hung Hom

Here's a street that confused me for while because I am only familar with the current version. But back in 1973, Bailey Street was only about half the length it is today. Pretty much everything beyond the Sung Chi Building didn't exist in 1973. The images below show us looking east from the junction with Ma Tau Wai Road.The large building on the right was a large block known as Matauwai Apartments. This has only recently been demolished and replaced by a new, taller,modern apartment block. Just in the distance beyond it is the bamboo covered facade of the newly built Sung Yan Building. Beyond that was the open space of Kowloon Bay - all now reclaimed and built upon. The old tenement buildings on the left side of the road have only just been demolished, but expect a similar residential high rise to take their place.
