The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - Lung Ha Wan Road, Clearwater Bay

Ling Xi has some sort of dream of them both riding along on a motorbike. This was shot along Lung Ha Wan Road in Clearwater Bay.

The Generation Gap - David Chiang (1973) - Shek Pik Prison, Lantau

Despite not being featured in the rest of the film, the opening scene of this film shows Ling Xi (Chiang) running down the entranceway into Shek Pik Prison. You may remember from a few posts ago that a similar view was used briefly in Police Force as Fung Hak-on describes a gang member (Fung also has a brief role in this film as a thug who tries to beat up Chiang in the middle of the film).

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Dragonara, 248 Tai Mong Tsai Road

The woman pulls into a large waterfront property. This is the base of the criminal gang that the killer of Liang Kuan works for. The property is located at 248 Tai Mong Tsai Road and is still around. It's called Dragonara and was recently sold (2022) for HK$181M (that's about $22M US).

The building has an occupation permit issued in April of 1974 - almost a whole year after this film was released. So it might have been newly finished when the film crew used it. It does appear that the interiors are also the same property rather than being a studio set.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Tai Mong Tsai Road, Sai Kung

The cops follow the woman into Sai Kung and along Tai Mong Tsai Road. This is the curve in the road right next to Tso Wo Hang.

The film is trying to draw out the pursuit for as long as possible because the next scene sees us looking at the same small stretch of road as the cars come back again.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Shek Pik Prison, Lantau Island

Through the dead body they have recovered, the police identify a woman who knew the deceased and have been tracking her movements. In this scene, Wong's side kick recounts how she has been seen leaving Shek Pik Prison and we are given some footage of that with Fung Hak-on superimposed onto it as he is the recounting her movements.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Pik Sha Road, Silverstrand Bay

The cops discover a dead body that appears to be linked to the guy who killed Liang Kuan. The lorry driver who witnessed the killers dumping it provides a photofit description that matches the elusive killer. The body is dumped near Bayside Beach in Silverstrand Bay. Note how utterly devoid it was of housing back in the early 70s. These days it is covered in small luxury, gated housing estates. The road the vehicles are on is today's Pik Sha Road, but I suspect it was nameless back then.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Shaw Brothers Dormitories, Clearwater Bay

The two thieves are chased to a "housing estate" before being cornered by Wong. In reality these are the dorms at Shaws Movietown and are currently one of the only remaining parts of the original site. Even the bridge is still there as well as the spiral stair-cased guard tower, albeit looking very decrepit. Sadly the robbers aren't the ones responsible for Liang Kuan's death, so the hunt continues.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Shaw's Movietown, Clearwater Bay

The robbery scene was shot at the Movietown complex. The yellow building is actually the other side of the building identified here as point A. This area in the complex was eventually replaced by the newer, modern "Shaw House" office block (that still stands today - one of the few buildings that has so far avoided demolition). The old building in the screen cap was still there - covered in plant growth - until a few years ago (see here), but was demolished when the site was sold for redevelopment.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Fei Ngo Shan

Following his victory in the karate competition, Ling Kuan (Fu Sheng) and Shen Yan (Lily Li), go up to Kowloon Peak to take some photos when they are accosted by the two thugs. The main thug, Kao Tu (Wang Kuang-yu), has just watched Liang win the karate tournament and so he ties his hands to stop him fighting back properly.

Following the attack, the sequence moves to the north side of the hill, close to where Gillwell Camp is located. In fact. the green painted sign seen in the images below *might* be an old sign to the camp. Although I'm not sure. The sign has long gone but that small area looks fairly similar today. The images below are all taken from the same spot but looking in two directions See here. It's now all part of the Wilson Trail Stage 4.

Company - Ajay Devgan (2002) - Kau Sai San Tsuen, Sai Kung

Chandu and his girlfriend have rented a small house out in Hebe Haven in Sai Kung. It took a bit of hunting but it looks like this property is #110 Kai Sau San Tsuen (though the Govt mapping website lists the address as 110 Pak Sha Wan). The open view down to the harbour from the front window though is now obscured because in the years since the film was made, another house has been built right smack bang in front of it.

This is also where Chandu and his girlfriend have to flee from when Mallik sends his goons after them.

Sadly, the Google marker facility on Blogger is so poor that the house doesn't even show up on the map, so instead I have tagged the carpark you can see on the right in the image below and you can try and work it out for yourself from there. On an aside, the Geoinfo map provided by the Govt mapping service has an updated 3D view of the whole territory, much better than what is currently available on GoogleEarth, so for places like Sai Kung (which has no 3D at all on GE) this is a really useful tool, although it takes a while to load the 3D.

Company - Ajay Devgan (2002) - Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok

Shot in 2002, Company is a Hindi-language Indian film, supposedly based on some real life gangster shenanigans, that centres around the relationship of a major gangster, Mallik (Ajay Devgan) and his trusted associate, Chandu (Vivek Oberoi). I wish there was an English S/T of this film because it really was good, despite me not understanding the language. If you want to watch the version I saw, then you can find it on this Youtube channel.

Anyway, Mallik and Chandu move to Hong Kong and plan more of their nefarious work from here until a contract they have been hired to carry out causes dissension between the two men. Chandu wants to abort the elaborate vehicle hijack but Mallik carries it out anyway. More than half the film has already passed at this point and Chandu flees as Mallik tries to get him and his girlfriend eliminated. What follows is about 30 minutes of tit-for-tat killing as the Indian police standby and let it all play out.

The first Hong Kong scenes we see is as the gangsters arrive at Hong Kong Airport with their entourage.

Gen Y Cops - Edison Chen (2000) - Yiu Lian Dockyard, Tsing Yi

The cargo depot scenes were at least partially, if not wholly, shot at the Yiu Lian Dockyard on the south west side of Tsing Yi Island.

Tsuen Wan Plaza is the mall that Kurt runs into as he tries to escape being caught.
