Mad Mission 3: Our Man from Bond Street - Sam Hui (1984) - Mitsukoshi Department Store

Older Hong Kongers will remember when Causeway Bay contained several Japanese Department stores: Daimaru, Matsuzakaya, Sogo and Mitsukoshi. Only one of these remains,SOGO, and that's only because its Japanese owners sold the name to the Chinese businessmen who bought the company.

Mitsukoshi was located in what was 500 Hennessy Road, the Hennessy Centre. This is the department store where Albert/Kodojack (Karl Maka) goes with his wife Nancy (Sylvia Chang) and suddenly realises how he was tricked by Sam/Kingkong using a pair of fake arms.

The store closed in 2006 after it was announced that the Hennessy Centre was going to be knocked down and redevloped into the current Hysan Place.

Detonator II: Night Watch - Pierce Brosnan (1995) - Cannon Street, Causeway Bay

Part of the motorbike chase that occurs towards the end of the film was shot along Cannon Street.

These top two pictures show the part of the street near to the junction with Gloucester Road (see the bus in the top picture driving along Gloucester Rd). There is then another shot as the motorbike turns on to Jaffe Road (see below). As you can see from the following Streetview, not much has changed here at all, although the more observant may be able to see Hennessy Centre at the back. This has since been replaced by Hysan Place.
