Vanessa - Olivia Pascal (1977) - Chung Hom Kok Road, Chung Hom Kok

Towards the end of the film, there is a scene where Vanessa's friend, driving the yellow Mini Moke, almost runs into the plantation manager on a thin coastal road. This was filmed on Chung Hom Kok Road just outside of Stanley. Very little has changed other than the sea-side road embankment being levelled (I'm not sure if this was done by nature or by design). The beach on the right is Chung Hom Kok beach and the camera is looking west towards Ap Lei Chau and Ap Lei Pai in the distance (i.e. the east entrance to Aberdeen harbour).

Challenge of the Tiger - Bruce Le (1982) - Disused Battery, Chung Hom Kok

The fight with Wang Jang Lee quickly moves from Guia in Macau over to Chung Hom Kok in Hong Kong. Wang Jang Lee fans (and let's face it, who isn't a fan of that bad ass dude?) will instantly recognise this place - the disused battery at Chung Hom Kok - as the exact same place where Wang staged his initial fight from the rather excellent The Art of High Impact Kicking. You can see it on Youtube.


The concrete structures are still there and the area has been turned into a pleasant coastal park area. If you have the time and energy it's well worth a trip.
