Strangers - John Simm (2018) - Fa Yuen Street, Mongkok

Most of the new locations seen in Episode 5 are not really ones where the actors have scenes but are part of a montage of establishing shots. For instance, this brief shot of a seemingly generic neon lit (or LED-lit as it tends to be these days) street pops up half way through the episode. It is actually Fa Yuen Street in Mongkok, looking south from the junction with Fife Street.

The fourth image shows another section of the same road, this time seen from the Mongkok Road pedestrian walkway looking north. It's also one of (or similar to) the shots used in the opening credits.

Transformers: Age of Extinction - Mark Wahlberg (2014) - Tung Choi Street, Mongkok

Some more scene setting and this time in the Mongkok area - specifically near to the intersection of Tung Choi Street with Fife St. The camera was most likely up on the Mongkok Road walkway (the one connected to Mongkok East MTR Station) looking south.

The corner building on the left looks remarkably clean on film compared to the Streetview,but it's possible the crew came along and spruced it up (or did it digitally...more likely, I think). Anyway, the rather colourful sign in the distant centre is for the Silver Dragon Restaurant.
