Ghost in the Shell - Scarlett Johansson (2017) - Woosung Street, Yau Ma Tei

Another shot taken in the Pak Hoi Street vicinity. This time it's Woosung Street at the junction with Pak Hoi St. Although the corner building has been disguised for the film, the markings on the "give way" triangle symbol on the road match the ones that are still there. At some point I will head out with my camera and take some comparison pictures, seeing as I don't live that far from here. The CGI in the third picture is obscuring the Alhambra Building at the end of the road.

Ghost in the Shell - Scarlett Johansson (2017) - Pak Hoi St, Yau Ma Tei

At the time of filming, the local papers were reporting that there was some taking place on Pak Hoi Street in Yau Ma Tei. The local production company tried to deflect interest by announcing the shooting would take place with doubles and, although doubles were present, lots of shots were done using the main stars.

This particular butchers stall is a real one at the junction with Reclamation Street. and other than the odd stallholder and overlayed blue writing, looks pretty much as it does in real life. This is the shop where Batou buys bones for his adopted dogs.

This scene is immediately preceded by a shot taken at the junction with Shanghai Street with Pak Hoi Street leading away (to the east) behind the actors back towards the butchers stall.

Blackhat - Chris Hemsworth (2015) - Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei

When the intrepid team hit the ground they are dropped off at the junction between Pak Hoi Street and Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei. But before we see that we get a nice long view (looking south) down all the night market stalls along Temple Street. The initial view is from the junction with Kansu Street (the northern limit of Temple Street market) but the height indicates that the camera was probably placed in one of the upper floors of the Yaumatei Carpark building.

The next shot shows the actors one block to the south at the junction with Pak Hoi St.

You can't see it in the screen grabs above but (as you can see from the Streetview capture below) the Temple Street cooked food stall area is just to the right. I used to take visitors here for a nice spot of food, but in all honesty it's so damned expensive now that I no longer bother.
