Mad Mission 3: Our Man from Bond Street - Sam Hui (1984) - Glenealy, Central

Given the geographical liberties taken by the car chase in Royal Warriors, I think we can forgive Tsui Hark for transporting Sam Hui from Canton Road in Kowloon over to Glenealy on Hong Kong Island at the click of his fingers, because this is where we see Kingkong next as he heads downhill on his skateboard, with the diamond in his possession. The building on the left of frame is St Paul's Church. Actually, we saw a similar concept in Legacy of Rage just a couple of years later as the drug courier in that film went down the same street on a pair of roller skates.

Legacy of Rage - Brandon Lee (1986) - Albany Road, Central

The opening drug exchange features a dude on a pair of roller skates who has been tasked with doing the swap of the drugs for the money. We see him first as he bombs down Albany Road, dodging cars as he goes and not really making much effort to be discrete. He then continues down onto Glenealy (3rd image).

Flash Point - Donnie Yen (2007) - Glenealy, Central

After the attempt on Wilson's life by Tiger, Ma chases him out of the hospital. The large slope they run down is located at the top of Glenealy in Central. The gate posts behind the actor in the third image mark one of the entrances to the Zoological and Botanical Gardens.
