As a treat for his new charge, Judas (Jack Palance) buys her a car - a brand new Mercedes convertible - and the brother, Julius, takes her out for a spin in it. When we first see the car it is parked on Sun Wui Road right where it meets Leighton Road. The angular building on the other side of the road is Bonaventure House and it's still there with its angular corner. I am guessing that the Mercedes dealership used to be in there because there looks to be a large Merc symbol stuck to the side of the building behind the lamppost. Just behind that you can just make out the original Lee Theatre building with its roof dome - the current version of the building (opened in 1991) has tried to pay homage to the original by including a roof top dome but you really have to crane your next to see it given the current building's height.

DOA: Dead or Alive - Devon Aoki (2006) - Percival Street, Causeway Bay
One of the main characters, Christie (Holly Valance), gets her invite to the tournament as she is escaping from the HK Police on a motorbike. As she makes her escape, she drives down a road with a single tram line. There aren't too many places where the tram lines go single in HK so this was an easy find. It's Percival Street. Confirmation can be seen by the presence of the Lee Theatre Building in the background - or at least the 2006 version of it, it's had a bit of an update since then.
