Dega manages to track down Marcone to a backstreet gambling den and a chase ensues. Unfortunately the poor quality of the print I viewed means much of the chase is unidentifable, to me at least, but here is one of the locales: Bowring Street in Kwun Chung. This is identifiable thanks to the presence of a sign for the Beautville Night Club.

Fearless Tiger - Jalal Merhi (1991) - Shanghai Street, Kwun Chung
One of the street scenes involving Lyle walking around trying to find his friend's kung fu school was filmed at the junction of Shanghai Street and Bowring Street in Kwun Chung. Lyle passes by a once popular BBQ/roast meat eatery called 沙記乳豬燒臘 (aka "Sha Kei Roast Suckling Pig"). In the image below we are looking at a previous location at #41 Shanghai Street - it later moved a few doors away to the opposite side of the junction before finally closing down sometime in 2022. The top image is pointing south down Shanghai Street towards Austin Road. with Wing Fat Mansion at the far end.


In the same sequence is another shot, and I believe this was looking northwest from the same junction (previous images above are looking southwest). The key here is a sign for the 官涌集友會 - aka roughly translated as the "Kwun Chung Friends Association". It was located on the section of Shanghai Street just north of Bowring Street.

Godzilla vs. Destroyah - Takuro Tatsumi (1995) - Nathan Road, Kowloon
A final post from Godzilla vs. Destroyah and another quick shot from Nathan Road. This time we are a little further along to the north where Bowring Street joins onto Nathan Road. The camera was placed somewhere in front of the Shamrock Hotel looking north. The glass fronted building on the left is the Pearl Oriental Tower on the corner of Bowring Street.
