Some more general shots of Hong Kong as Sara is taken to hospital. This one shows the view looking west along Hennessy Road towards the Canal Road Flyover. The shot was obtained by putting the camera on the pedestrian walkway that links the two sides of Percival Street.

No culpes al karma de lo que te pasa por gilipollas - Verónica Echegui (2016) - Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay
After being lost for a bit, Sara finally manages to meet her boyfriend on the pavement where Hennessy Road meets Yee Wo Street and Jardine's Bazaar. Quite the leap from Mongkok.

Foxbat - Henry Silva (1977) - Shanghai Industrial Investment Building, Wanchai
A Cheung - the bumbling character who causes most of the film's action (after accidentally swallowing Henry Silva's microfilm of "Foxbat" photos) runs a cooking class in the Shanghai Industrial Investment Building. The place is fairly unmistakable with its exterior window design and is still standing at 48-62 Hennessy Road.
It also pops up later in the film as the finale plays out. In the grabs below you can see the building that became the Metropark Wanchai Hotel - made famous a few years back during the Swine Flu outbreak of 2009 when the poor guests were quarantined inside for a whole week. The Metropark Hotel chain hasn't had a great run of luck with communicable diseases because the Metropark Kowloon (formerly the Metropole) was the hotel at the centre of the SARS epidemic in 2003, followed by the Swine Flu incident in 2009, it's no wonder they have changed the Wanchai hotel name to the "Kew Green Hotel".
