The Thieves - Kim Yoon-seok (2012) - Rua da Felicidade, Macau

The enlarged gang arrives in Macau and is already being monitered by the police, who have set up a surveillance point on the balcony of the "San Va Hospedaria" aka the SANVA Hotel on Rua da Felicidade (previously seen on this blog in Isabella)

Isabella - Isabella Leong (2006) - Rua da Felicidade, Macau

I have Gary Wong's old Film Pilgrimage page (new page here) to thank for telling me about this location (Gary is basically the go-to guy for local movie locations and I did a post on his first book ten years ago). This is the apartment building where Yan and her mother used to live before her mum died. The landlord has locked her out because she hasn't been able to pay the rent and Ma goes around to try and help her.

Anyway, thanks to Gary we know this location is on Macau's famous Rua da Felicidade and is a small hotel called San Va Hospedaria. Sadly, there are no exterior shots and we just get to see some of the interior including this view of the main staircase as Yan sneaks in to see what is happening.

Now You See Me 2 - Mark Ruffalo (2016) - Rua da Felicidade, Macau

Back to the near present for the next movie and the follow up to the 2013 Now You See Me. This one starts off in the US but then "magically" moves to Macau as the "Four Horseman" are somehow flown several thousand miles across the earth whilst making their escape down an industrial waste chute.

The initial location where they first realise they are in Macau was filmed on the Rua da Felicidade, a street famous for its past as a one strip red light area. The actual shopfront where they pop out onto the street is at the very bottom (i.e.the western end) where the older 1-storey buildings end. If you look on GoogleEarth, you can see the yellow painted facade building is the place. It is part of a larger (but still old) block at the end of the street adjacent to the Fat Siu Lau restaurant.

Strangers - John Simm (2018) - Rua da Felicidade, Macau

Another slight detour as the taxi gets his monies worth by then taking Jonah all the way down to the Rua da Felicidade. This "Street of Happiness" was named so due to its previous incarnation as a popular red light district. It was basically one long street full of brothels. This time it's only Jonah getting screwed.
