Narazumono - Ken Takakura (1964) - Rua de Sanches de Miranda, Macau
After being chased from the top of Calçada Central de São Lazaro by the cops, one of the first roads we see the two men running down is actually not far away from their start point. In fact the first two images were filmed just a few yards away from the top of the steps where the chase starts from. The second two mages show the view from he top of the steps on Calçada da Igreja de São Lazaro. This is almost an exact match to an angle we saw on The Game of Death 14 years later. Here is the reminder from that film so you can see it is the same place.

Game of Death - Bruce Lee (1978) - Rua de Sanches de Miranda, Macau
Another obscure Game of Death discovery to add to the list. It's a brief shot of the baddies car driving down a small road before turning right. It turns out the initial road seen in the first picture is called Calcada da Igreja de São Lazaro. If that name sounds familiar, well it should do because the part of the road is the upper section of a road I posted about all those years ago when first looking at this film.

The camera pans to the left and we are now looking up Rua de Sanches de Miranda.

If the camera had continued panning left then it would have seen this picture from the earlier pot I mentioned above. This tells me that the shot was probably taken at the same time because the camera position seems perfect.
