Legacy of Rage - Brandon Lee (1986) - Lai Chi Kok Road, Mongkok

The scene where we find out how good-hearted Brandon is involves a little girl being left stranded by her family as they all board a bus and disappear down the road. The road in questionis Lai Chi Kok Road close to the junction with Nathan Road. This area hasn't actually changed that much but the number 6 bus no longer goes this way. In the second image, the building that the "Hong Kong"sign appears to be pointing to is the former Royal Theatre. This was demolished around 1990 to make way for the Pioneer Centre. The Royal Theatre was the one used for the robbery scene in The Private Eyes.

Flash Point - Donnie Yen (2007) - Asia Golf Driving Range, Cheung Sha Wan

The golf driving range scene was filmed at the former Asia Golf Driving Range in Cheung Sha Wan. There were at least a couple of mid-town driving ranges in existence when I first moved to Hong Kong, including this one. The other one was in West Kowloon and was replaced by the (not-so) High Speed Rail station.

This one in Cheung Sha Wan was erected following the clearing of part of the old Cheung Sha Wan estate in 2001. The empty site was leased to Asia Golf for a few years before the Lai Tsui Court estate was constructed on the plot. If you go back to historical Streetview images from 2009 - 2011, you can still see the driving range.

The Peking Medallion - Robert Stack (1967) - Lai Chi Kok Road, Sham Shui Po

Further on his his trip, Stack finds himself followed by a car and gets the rickshaw to stop to find out who it is. In true geography-stretching movie land though he is actually about 2 miles back to the north, traveling along Lai Chi Kok Road in Sham Shui Po.

How can I tell it's Lai Chi Kok Road? The most obvious clue is the corner of the Sham Shui Po police station that can be seen sicking out behind Stack at the end of the row of shophouses in the top two pictures. Until the police went for the current grey/blue paint scheme on the outside of their stations they had a sort of beige/brown thing going on which can be seen in the picture. By the position in the second picture, it looks as though Stack's rickshaw is just passing Kweilin Street.

Actually, this part of Sham Shui Po still has a lot of 60's era buildings and another example is the building on the far left of this third picture. It's the one painted red at the front. It's the Chew Onn building (yup) at 369-367 Lai Chi Kok Road and was built in 1964.

In the next two grabs, the scene has moved down the road a fair distance but there are still buildings that help us identify the exact location. The first one is the distant curved tenement just behind the rear of the bus in the first picture. This building (the Kon Hing Building) still stands at he junction of Lai Chi Kok Road with Nam Cheong Street. But there is also the closer grey building with the blank wall and windows at the end of the bus in the second picture. This is also still around and is at 219-221 Lai Chi Kok Road. It is just next to the junction with Shek Kip Mei Street which puts Stack just around the junction with Wong Chuk Street.

Ein Sarg aus Hong Kong - Heinz Drache (1964) - Lai Chi Kok Road, Kowloon

I have to say thank you to a Facebook user named "Wai Tse" for this next mystery because he had posted some footage from this film over there and had identified the place in question as Lai Chi Kok Road next to the junction with Tong Mi Road. It just so happens that this is also the junction where Lui Seng Chun is situated.

The junction at the back in the lower two pictures is with Poplar Street. Here is a Streetview of how it looks today. I've also included a contemporary shot of the street from the same angle as the first two pictures. So, many thanks to Wai Tse for inadvertently solving this mystery for us.
