The next location shot takes us to Lockhart Road, right by the junction with Cannon Street. This is the scene where Victoria goes along to Edward's nightclub - the Dynasty Club.

Detonator II: Night Watch - Pierce Brosnan (1995) - Cannon Street, Causeway Bay
The last Cannon Street post for Cracker: White Ghost has reminded me that I missed off another view of Cannon Street. The common factor is a large neon sign in the background that can also be seen in the Cracker screen shots. I don't know what the sign was for but I suspect someone can fill in the gaps in my knowledge, you can see it in the shot below (red neon in the background).
Cracker: White Ghost - Robbie Coltrane (1996) - Cannon Street, Causeway Bay
We were previously around this location for Night Watch and I can only guess that it was a favoured location for the HK-based production crew who were involved in both films. Anyway, this is the junction with Jaffe Road. There is a reasonable Streetview comparison at the bottom.

Detonator II: Night Watch - Pierce Brosnan (1995) - Cannon Street, Causeway Bay
Part of the motorbike chase that occurs towards the end of the film was shot along Cannon Street.
These top two pictures show the part of the street near to the junction with Gloucester Road (see the bus in the top picture driving along Gloucester Rd). There is then another shot as the motorbike turns on to Jaffe Road (see below). As you can see from the following Streetview, not much has changed here at all, although the more observant may be able to see Hennessy Centre at the back. This has since been replaced by Hysan Place.
