Hong Kong Godfather - Leung Kar-yan (1985) - Granville Road, East TST

The attack on Playboy continues further along Granville Road. This section is at the end of the road next to the car park by Energy Plaza. In fact that's Energy Plaza in the background, although at the time (1985) I believe it was still going by its former name, "Great World Tower". The last image shows the view from the same place but looking towards the rear of Hilton Towers.

Hong Kong Godfather - Leung Kar-yan (1985) - Club Paris, Hilton Towers

Following the confrontation at the party, Lan decides to go all out and wreck Han's gang's businesses. One of his first acts is to release snakes into one of their night clubs. The club in question is "Club Paris" located in Hilton Towers in East TST. The establishing shot below shows us the view from the "Centenery Garden" circular fountain looking towards the corner of Hilton Towers where the club was located, with Autoplaza in the distance.

I believe this place closed down around the same time as Club BBoss, although in a strange twist of fate, that latter place has recently reopened under the new name of  Big Boss Generation.

SPL - Donnie Yen (2005) - East Tsim Sha Tsui Centenary Garden, Kowloon

One of the major locations in this film is the area where all the gangsters hang out and cause trouble for a local beat cop before he is rescued by Ma and Chung. The location is the lane that separates the Peninsula Centre and Hilton Towers (image 1). However we see a fair bit of the area including the ground floor of the Peninsula Centre (images 2 & 3), the alleyway between the Peninsula Centre and the Regal Kowloon Hotel where Lo beats up a couple of gang members (image 4) and Hilton Towers where Wong Po walk down the steps tapping his beer bottle on the railing (image 5).
