Ka Kui tricks the baddies so that he can enter the tunnel and cut off the radio communication that would otherwise allow the bombers to set off his vest bomb. The tunnel in question is the Kai Tak Tunnel, still going strong after all these years even though the airport it once ducked under has long since gone. So, Ka Kui drives in through the west entrance (image 1), stops the car mid-tunnel to deal with the vest (image 2), and then runs out of the east entrance (image 3) before the bad guys can cotton on to what is unfolding.

Police Story 2 - Jackie Chan (1988) - East Kowloon Corridor, To Kwa Wan
As the cars make their way north along the Kowloon City Road section of the East Kowloon Corridor, we can see the circular apertures of the To Kwa Wan Market building on the right side of the screen. This means the cars are just passing over Lok Shan Road.

Les Anges Gardiens - Gerard Depardieu (1995) - Kai Tak Tunnel, Ma Tau Kok
Yet more of the car chase, now we are back in Kowloon and close to the actual location this was all supposed to be set at. This is the southern Ma Tau Kok entrance to the Kai Tak Tunnel. The opposite northern entrance of the tunnel (Kowloon Bay end) can be seen in Police Story 2.

Yellowthread Street (TV Series) - Bruce Payne (1990) - Tin Hau Temple, To Kwa Wan
Temples in Hong Kong can, usually, be relied upon to be around year after year. It's not true of all religious/spiritual buildings, but it's a brave developer indeed who risks the wrath of some make-believe deity for the sake of building a high-rise. So, it didn't take too long to track down the following place seen at the beginning of Fan Tan Man when our bald-headed bad guy goes there to pray for some good luck at the gambling table.
Unfortunately, Streetview doesn't have a great angle on this place due to the amount of traffic blocking the view - a common problem for me - so here is the same place taken from slightly to the right and forward of where the cameras would have been standing for the filming.
