The Merry Wife - Li Ching (1971) - Jordan Road Vehicular Ferry Pier 2

Lin Min takes his car across the harbour via the double decker vehicular ferry which had a "temporary" pier separate to the main vehicular ferry pier originally built for, and continued to service, the single deck ferries.

This pier has been featured before and was located at the south west extremity of the Ferry Point Estate. I believe it was in place right up until the commencement of the West Kowloon Reclamation.

Bullet in the Head - Tony Leung Chiu-wai (1990) - Jordan Road Ferry Pier

The trio have a bike race along the waterfront in a bout of friendly rivalry, with Frank (Jacky Cheung) being saved from plunging into the water by Ben (Tony Leung) just at the last minute. This scene was filmed at the Jordan Road Vehicular Ferry Pier - the later version that catered for double-decker ferries. The small raised ramp is the upper deck access ramp. The whole place disappeared in the early 90s when the West Kowloon Reclamation commenced (it was still ongoing when I made my first trip in November 1995, thirty years ago this year!!).

Mr Hercules Against Karate - Alberto Terracina (1973) - Jordan Road Vehicular Ferry Pier #2

 After arriving at the airport, the pair are picked up by a friend and driven to the former "double-deck" vehicular ferry pier at the end of Jordan Road. This one was specifically used for the double-decker ferries that allowed smaller/lighter vehicles to park on the upper deck. In relation to today's geography, it was located at the far end of Man Wui Street in front of the westernmost section of the Man King Building (which you can see behind in the top two images) - part of the Ferry Point Estate. Once again, the Google marker doesn't allow me to be exact, but you can clearly see where it was located in relation to the aforementioned building.
