A Cause to Kill - Ivy Ling Po (1969) - Choi Hung Estate

Some scenery to take in during a driving home scene as Hsin Li's husband, Li De (Kwan Shan) and Su Su (Chiao Chiao) take a taxi home from the airport. Su Su has just arrived from Singapore to help with the screenplay for Hsin Li's new comeback film.

The scene starts with a view of the Choi Hung Estate from the view point of the adjacent road, but then we follow the couple for an in-car scene that was shot as the car drove along the first section Clearwater Bay Road that starts at the estate.

Savour the view because it was announced last year that Choi Hung Estate would be redeveloped very soon bringing an end to its 60+ year lifespan, although the latter stages of the plan won't be implemented until the 2040s.

Here is the next of our previously seen clips, this time it is the one filmed outside the Choi Hung Estate. You can see how it appeared in Sumuru here, but in this film (made 3 years earlier) it also appears in the correct orientation.

One of the reasons I believe that Ein Sarg aus Hong Kong is the original source of this footage is that this same bus appears in several more scenes directly after this one as we follow its journey through Kowloon - some of those later scenes, but not all, were also included in Sumuru.

Another reversed image is the following one from what I initially thought was Kwun Tong Road. However, after investigating the build dates of the various blocks that I thought they were, it made no sense.

So this one needs to be reversed as well so it looks like this.

The block under construction is Kam Wan House at the west end of the estate. The road system around here has changed significantly and I don't have anything to reference it to at the moment but I suspect the road the bus is on is part of Choi Hung Road. Currently this area has a roundabout on it and is where the Choi Hung Road turns into the Kwun Tong Road.

According to wiki, Kam Wan House was completed in 1964 which puts this shot firmly out of the timeline for the actual shoot of this film. So I think my suspicions about these last few locations being stock footage is probably correct.
