Just Heroes - David Chiang (1989) - Diamond Hill Columbarium

I've only recently worked out where the funeral for the murdered gang boss takes place. It's been completely changed since this movie was made (you can see how it looks today here) but this is the Diamond Hill Columbarium on Po Kong Village Road. About the only things that remain today are the triangular roofed niche pavilions that can be seen in the background and the looped service road that can be seen in the top two images.

Hitman - Jet Li (1998) - Po Kong Village Road, Diamond Hill

Fu is dropped off by the side of a road by Lo's daughter (Gigi Leung). You can just make out the name "Po Kong Village" on the sign on the wall behind. This is Po Kong Village Road, although the place that is signposted is now known as simply Po Kong Village Road Sports Centre. This is a stone's throw from a rather elusive location someone (sadly anonymous) found for me a while back.

Strangers - John Simm (2018) - Diamond Hill Columbarium, Po Kong Village Road

Jonah finally meets up with the investigative journalist who is probing around his wife's death. They meet, quite aptly, at the Diamond Hill Columbarium (an urn cemetery where cremated remains are kept in wall niches). This particular one is fairly new (built in 2008) but lo-and-behold it is one of the places offered via what was the Hong Kong Film Services Office, but has since been renamed the Film Promotion and Facilition Section of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency. Yes,that is definitely much catchier and easier to say than "FSO". Here's the updated link.

The Man from Hong Kong - Wang Yu (1975) - Diamond Hill, Kowloon

I previously mentioned a rather epic hand glider flight carried out by Grant Page for the opening of this film. It was a flight done in multiple sections and this particular one - filmed around the Kowloon Hills near Diamond Hill - caused a bit of a hassle with the nearby flights from Kai Tak Airport. In this shot we see the hand glider from the vantage point of Shatin Pass Road up in the hills looking down upon what was the actual hill that gave Diamond Hill its name. These days the hill is largely gone, excavated for Po Kong Village Road Park, but there are still some remnants located in and around the Po Kong Village Road.

Those of with sharp eyes and a good memory will remember a similar view from when I was posting about Shatter, and if you page to the bottom of this post, you'll see the same raised lip of earth around the corner of the Shatin Pass Road that can be seen in the first shot below. 

The large housing estate that can be seen in the top picture is the old Tsz Wan Shan housing estate that was demolished over a period of time throughout the 1980's and 90's and replaced by smaller clusters of separately named estates. The flat area in front of the shaved hillside is roughly where today's Po Kong Village Road Park Football pitch now stands - the rest of the hillside has been pretty much completely removed.

In fact, on the other side of the hill is where the Tate's Cairn Tunnel now pops out right next to Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden. As far as I can tell, about the only buildings that can be identified that are still standing are three blocks that line the Po Kong Village Road in the bottom left of the top picture. The leftmost is a CLP substation and the other two are actually schools which may go some way to explain why they are still around.
