Strangers - John Simm (2018) - Container Port Road South, Stonecutter Island
After Lau has been kidnapped, her kidnapper is stopped by the police because his rear light is broken. Funny thing is though that this place is a dead end. This is the service road that runs underneath Stonecutters Bridge (you can see the bridge at the top of the image) and the car has basically just driven from the dead end by the sea wall when it is stopped. You can see where the road ends behind the car as it is turning. In the second image you can see how close this place is to one of the container terminals.

Largo Winch - Tomer Sisley (2008) - Container Port Road South, Stonecutters Island
This one is a bit sneaky because the film makers want you to think that this is at the airport as the tough dudes await Largo's arrival.
In actuality, this road viaduct is part of the Tsing Sha Highway that leads onto Hong Kong's newest bridge - Stonecutters Bridge. The area is surrounded by freight processing terminals (Container Terminal 8 to be precise) and the building at the back is the office of Modern Terminals Limited. This explains why the film makers chose the upward angle for the camera shot - I guess it was to hide the stacked containers. Anyway, the road we are on is romantically called 'Container Port Road South'.
Here is the current Streetview so you can see that the road does not, in fact, go into the side of the building (trust me, I consider all feasible options when tracking down these obscure places!).
