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.

Young People - David Chiang (1972) - Silverstrand Beach Road Car Park, Clearwater Bay

I haven't got much to add beyong what has already been covered by Andi on his blog post other than the fact that in the film this carpark is supposed to be just up the hill from the college campus and the houses you can see have all been replaced. Also, the hill area where Ti Lung and his cohorts are training is now taken up by the rather funky curved Silverstrand Shopping Centre.

Proof (if ever you needed it) that Shaw Brothers were able to convey the sense of many different sorts of landscapes and locations on film from the comfort of their own backyard. This next scene was actually filmed on the hilltop behind the Movietown studio lot - an area that was taken over by the University of Science and Technology back in 1991 for their staff quarters.

Here are some film grabs looking down into Silverstrand Bay with its small rock outcrop just jutting out into the water.

Look in the far background and you can also make out the distinctive sharp profile of High Junk Peak sticking up in the ridgeline at the back. This angle could only be gained from the hillside behind the studio.

Incidentally, I believe that the small flat location seen in the top picture (where the carriage is sitting) has since been converted into a small garden with a pavilion attached to the staff quarters - however, I'm not sure of how much public access there is here - if any. Silverstrand went on to become slightly notorious  in the early 90's when a series of fatal shark attacks occurred there.
