The gang finally ambush the rickshaw as it is running through one of the curved alleyways in Kowloon Tong. In fact, there is only one place where this is in Kowloon Tong and its the alleyway that runs behind the Kowloon Tong Club in the centre of the estate. This is the same location used a year earlier for a fight scene in The Black Dragon's Revenge. I think the marker keeps snapping to a love hotel called "Essex Hotel" but you should be able to see the alleyways to the rear of the property if you click on the location link at the bottom of the post.

The Black Dragon's Revenge - Ronnie Van Clief (1975) - Essex Crescent, Kowloon Tong
More scenes around the Kowloon Tong Estate include this one taken at close to where Essex Crescent joins on to Cumberland Road. The irony is that, given this is a film about Bruce Lee's death, his house is a 20 second walk from this location - and in 1975 it was still in the same condition as it was when Bruce lived there. What a shame the film makers didn't make an effort to try and use it properly.

The Black Dragon's Revenge - Ronnie Van Clief (1975) - Kowloon Tong Alleyways, Kowloon
In the scene where Charles Bonet is attacked by a bunch of marauding bad guys, the action takes place in a sort of curved alleyway that is supposed to be at the back of his shop. In fact it was the alleyway located behind Essex Crescent and the Kowloon Tong Club. Anyway, here are the grabs.
