Police Story 2 - Jackie Chan (1988) - Chatham Road North, Hung Hom

After tricking the gang into driving on ahead of him so he can deal with the bomb strapped to his chest, Ka Kui drives up Chatham Road North. In the image below is the Fat Kwong Flyover bridge that is still around. In fact, I covered the same location (albeit on theother side of the bridge) a few months ago for Asia-Pol Secret Service, which shows just how long this bridge has been around. Speaking of which, a thought just popped into my head in that there is only 22 years difference between those two films (1966 - 1988), and yet it's already 34 years since Police Story 2 was made! I'm just getting old and wondering where all the years have gone...

Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Chatham Road North, Hung Hom

From Chatham Road South when Wang Yu discovers the time bomb ticking in the back of the car, to Chatham Road North as he races away to get the car to a secluded location so as not to injure anyone else. This is the view through the bridge that supports the Fat Kwong Street Flyover and has changed not one bit in the subsequent (almost) 60 years since this movie was made. Everything else has pretty much been redeveloped though.

Cracker: White Ghost - Robbie Coltrane (1996) - Fat Kwong Street Flyover, Hung Hom

Although they let Dennis out so they can follow him, they lose him when he crosses over to Kowloon. The cop car stops along the Fat Kwong St flyover where it crosses the eastern Kowloon Corridor whilst they wait for the helicopter crew to pick up the scent again.

As you can see from Streetview below the area hasn't changed much at all but in the lowest picture above, it looks like there may have once been a structure in Fat Kwong Street Garden (top left of the picture), either that or the camera angle is making the buildings on the other side of the garden seem much closer than they are (it's certainly possible).
