We also see the same area a bit later in the film but this time from the pavement as Eva and her new found friend are walking around and hanging out.

Black Cobra Woman - Laura Gemser (1976) - Lockhart Road, Wanchai
Once in her new car, Eva (that's the character's name) takes it for a spin and the next shot was taken looking along Lockhart Road at the junction with Fenwick Street. There are some familiar bar and restaurant names here including the Diamond Steakhouse, Neptune and Magpie bars, and I believe the large one on the corner of Fenwick Street must be the Back Door Club. The one in the last image with the curves above the columns was the Pussy Cat Bar. All these old buildings have been redeveloped.

Spearhead in Hong Kong - Stafford Gordon (1981) - Lockhart Road, Wanchai
The obligatory "squaddies out on the town" sequence takes place along LockHart Road (where else?) as a group head to Club Highway. It was a bit hard tracking down the location of this place for 1981 because it moved to the 128 Building in later years. However, this shot looks as though it was taken at the club's previous address: 53-55 Lockhart Road. This is the current location of the Spa Centre.
The lowest image shows a view further down the road to the Neptune Club and Bar when it was still at 75-79 Lockhart Road.

The Yin and Yang of Mr Go - James Mason (1970) - Lockhart Road, Wanchai
After being duped into believing someone wants to publish his writing, Bridges heads out to celebrate with his new publisher - in reality a US agent. They hit the town in several places including the Ocean Bar that used to be at 88-92 Lockhart Road (thanks to Doug). It's a shame the picture quality isn't any better because I'm a big fan of these old neon signs.
