Dallas - Victoria Principal (1985) - Electric Road, Causeway Bay

We stay in the general area for this next post as the women wander around the streets. This particular scene was shot on Electric Road at the junction with Wing Hing Street. The vehicular bridge that can be seen in the background is the Tsing Fung Street Flyover. In the background you can see a large sign that says: 金閣茶餐廳餅店. It's a cafe and cake shop.

Dallas - Victoria Principal (1985) - Mercury Street, Causeway Bay

The next episode (Season 8, Episode 22), Dead Ends, also has some Hong Kong scenes, the first of which is a view across to what was a large tenement building located on the corner of Electric Road and Gordon Road. This building has only recently been demolished (2013?) and two new developments ("The Hemispheres" and "Diva") have been built on the site. You can still see it in this old Streetmap imagery.

The large office building in the background (whose top is visible in the top of the first image) is the Citicorp Centre. This means that the camera was placed on Mercury Street looking north and the ramshackle market we see in the first few frames was later redeveloped and rehoused in the purpose-built Causeway Bay Market Building. We're barely on the cusp of Causeway Bay though as the boundary between Wanchai District (which contains Causeway bay) and Eastern District is nearby.
