Blade in Hong Kong - Terry Lester (1985) - Salisbury Road Garden, East Tsim Sha Tsui

Blade is interrupted at the fundraiser by Half-time, who has turned up with some information for him, so the pair go for a walk in Salisbury Road Garden in East TST. This is the same place filmed at around the same time for Police Story. Although the maps seem to disagree on whether it's called Mody Road Garden or Salisbury Road Garden.

Police Story - Jackie Chan (1985) - East Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

 After Salina has been taken into protective custody as a witness, ka Kui is tasked with being her minder and has to follow her around in case she is attacked by her boss, although she is firmly of the opinion that she is in no danger. She goes shopping around East TST with Ka Kui in tow and we see a couple of spots including the link bridge that crosses above Mody Road connecting the (now) Royal Garden Hotel building with the Tsim Sha Tsui Centre.  They then stop and have an argument at the southern end of the Urban Council Centenary Garden (a small separate section called Mody Road Garden), which is East TST's main open square. The bottom image shows the Regal Kowloon Hotel on the left and the East Ocean centre at the back right. The sloped walkway behind the two in the lower image is no longer there. It was replaced by a lift circa 2008.
