The Thieves - Kim Yoon-seok (2012) - 124 Nga Tsin Wai Road, Kowloon City

The rooftop where the Korean gang are intrduced to the friend of their target was located on top of a rather cool looking building that used to stand on the corner of Lion Rock Road and Nga Tsin Wai Road in Kowloon City. It was quite a stylish building with its art-deco style balconies and Communist Star emblem (which you can see the rear of in some of the screen grabs). Sadly, it fell into - deliberate - disrepair and was demolished sometime before 2016. No doubt there is a high rise on the spot right now, but I haven't been down here for a while to check.

Geostorm - Gerard Butler (2017) - Nga Tsin Wai Road, Kowloon City

If the sudden jump from Mongkok to Sham Shui Po was too much of a leap of faith for you then this one will send you loopy because the immediate scene following the Wong Chuk Street is in fact all the way over in Kowloon City along the main road there, Nga Tsin Wai Road. Wong Chuk Street suddenly turns into Lion Rock Road as Wu skids around another corner in his attempts to outrun the apocalypse. The first two screen caps show the location from the junction with Lion Rock Road. The lower two screencaps is the view from the next junction with Hau Wong Road. You can make out the EFCC Grace Church building on the left of the screen and the hoardings of the building site that became "Billionaire Luxe" (last pic on left). That rather naffly named condominium building (trust me, by HK standards it's only mildy naff) was completed in 2016 so the fact that it is a building site here appears to fit with the principal photography timeline of 2014/15.

There are some further snippets along the same road but the next block over as we come to the end of the real Hong Kong locations. These next few bits were filmed between Lung Kong Road and South Wall Road.

Cracker: White Ghost - Robbie Coltrane (1996) - Lion Rock Road, Kowloon City

Philby's long-suffering girlfriend lives above a shop in Kowloon City and we get a nice birds-eye view of the area as a plane flies overhead towards the landing strip at the old airport. The road we are focused on is Lion Rock Road and although we initially see it from the north the following closeups - filmed along the same road but at the other end - were filmed looking from the south. We can't have a scene around Kowloon City with the required plane-flying-into-Kai-Tak shot, right?

Anyway, the road at the bottom is Lion Rock Road and Kowloon City being the way it is, although the buildings (actually, it's one big block called the Victory Building at 78-144 Lion Rock Rd and you can see it when it was in better condition here) we can see are still around there's no guarantee they will be there for much longer - the whole place is changing. So these views are all looking south and I suspect the camera was placed on the car park roof of the Kowloon City Plaza (we've been up there before)

Speaking of the Kowloon City Plaza (now the KCP), you can see it in the background of the following shots - it's the multi-coloured thing at the far end of the road (below the hill).

The Pillow Book - Vivian Wu (1996) - Lion Rock Road, Kowloon City

Wu's character holes up in Kowloon City when she first arrives in Hong Kong. There are a few brief moments when we catch a glimpse of the northern end of Lion Rock Road where it joins with Carpenter Road.

As with elsewhere in Hong Kong, many of the overhead signs have been removed (a big shame in my opinion) but most of the buildings seem to still be around even if the businesses within have changed. The sole commercial remnant is the cafe with the blue/red sign seen above and in the Streetview grab below (now underneath the square sign with the cartoon face).
