Bloodfight - Yasuaki Kurata (1989) - Central Market, Jubilee Street

It starts to get a bit weird as Masa also follows Ryu into the gent's toilet in the Central Market building in his bid to get him as a student. I think this toilet has been closed since the market building was refurbished afew years ago.

SPL - Donnie Yen (2005) - Central Market

The gang head off to track down and kill Wong Po's bodyguard, played by long time Donnie Yen stunt collaborator and action choreographer, Kenji Tanigaki. He's the link that they need to remove if their fabrication of evidence against Wong Po is to work. Anyway, they track him down to a hut on top of Central market and a chase around the roof top ensues. Coincidentally, the market building has just recently been reopened following a renovation and looks a bit tidier these days. 

Sister Street Fighter - Etsuko Shihomi (1974) - Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong

Given that the last shot of the harbour from this film was taken in the 1960's, I doubt very much if this quick image of Queen's Road East was taken any later, although my knowledge of the area is too limited to be able to say exactly. I think it's okay to assume this is footage from an older film spliced in for the purpose of establishing Hong Kong as the initial location for the story. What should be familiar is the shape of Central Market on the right hand side.

For a glimpse of the same area in 1955 you can go back to look at Love is a Many-Splendored Thing. The opening ambulance scene drives past the same spot. See here.

Love is a Many-Splendored Thing - William Holden (1955) - Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong

Anyone who has seen this film will be familiar with the famous opening scenes involving an ambulance driving along Queen's Road with its siren blaring. It's quite easy to recognise the (relatively) narrow and shop house-lined confines of the road, but what has proven a bit harder is to find which bits we can actually see on film. However, here is a part that is identifiable courtesy of the Central Market looming up on the right.

What we have here is the section of Queen's Road between Queen Victoria Street and Jubilee Street. The small single storey building on then right is actually the back end annexe of the market which houses the public toilets ('single storey' is actually incorrect because the building is on a slope and so the annexe actually has two stories on its Jubilee Street frontage).

Here is a rough approximation of this view taken from Streetview. You can see the toilet block on the right - it's now covered partially by the Mid-levels escalator system.
