Black Mask - Jet Li (1996) - Kwung Tong Promenade
I'm finally back in Hong Kong and the next location is from the scene where one of the drug kings, Ricky Tai (Henry Fong Ping) - I seem to remember Rush Hour 2 reused that name for John Lone's character - is on his way to a gang meeting at the beginning of the film. It was partially filmed along what is now the beautified Kwun Tong promenade. It wasn't so tidy back then and you can see all the floating construction rigs at the waterfront on the left hand side. The same location was seen in La Moustache.

La Moustache - Vincent Lindon (2005) - Kwun Tong Waterfront, Kwun Tong
Marc ends up spending so much time going backwards and forwards on the ferry that he eventually runs out of time and when he tries to get back across the harbour he finds that the pier has closed. So he wanders off to try a get a lift from one of the boats moored by the waterfront. This next scene, where he finds a boat and gets the deck hand to let him on board, was filmed along the Kwun Tong waterfront. You wouldn't recognise it now though because much effort and money was expended in turning this place into a public park called the "Kwun Tong Promenade". The only thing you will recognise today is the Kwun Tong bypass which you can see in the background of the screen capture.
