The Dragon from Russia - Sam Hui (1990) - Queen's Road Central, Central

We stay on Queen's Road Central for the next location but move down to the junction with Ice House Street as Yao and Teddy make their getaway on a motorbike. The old Govt West Wing building seen in the back of the top and bottom images is still around (renamed to Justice Place West Wing) but the Sing Pao Centre, seen at the back right of the bottom image, has since been redeveloped into 8 Queen's Road Central.

Shatter - Stuart Whitman (1974) - Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong

Time to clear up some of the identifications that were eluding me. This one is courtesy of Thomas Ngan who spotted the window of the West Wing of the Central Govt Offices on Ice House Street in the background. Here's a reminder.


The red building at the back is a mystery and is the current site of 8 Queens Rd Central. But look to the left and you can see the window that Thomas was talking about. The Streetview grab below confirms this is the corner of Ice House Street.


But what about that red building? I still have no idea but a search of 8 Queen's Road Central brought up the following business card for an old furniture store - was this the same building?


I must admit the building's colour is quite striking, so I am sure there is someone out there who must be able to remember what it was. If so please feel free to leave me a comment. In the meantime, once again thanks to Thomas for lending me his eagle eyes.
