Erotic Journey: Love Affair in Hong Kong - Hirokazu Inoue (1973) - Repulse Bay, various locations

Sumio goes to Repulse Bay with his new found (and definitely criminal) friend in order to kidnap women. Yes, suffice to say his downward spiral happened quite fast. The initial views can be seen as the pair approach Repulse Bay along Repulse Bay Road in the west, passing Eucliffe on the way. The car pulls off the road outisde #15 South Bay Road (since redeveloped) and the pair get out and head to the Tin Hau Shrine area. Remember, the building next to the statues is not a temple, it's the rather ornate HQ of the Hong Kong Life Guard Association.

Actually, this is the second time we see Repulse Bay because Sumio goes there earlier in the film as he is wandering around random places looking for his wife. This is the top image below (I've never seen it so busy!)

Knock Off - Jean Claude Van Damme (1997) - Tin Hau Temple, Repulse Bay

Whoops! I totally forgot to publish this post from the start of Knock Off when the police are conducting the operation to apprehend the bomb smugglers. There are lots of sweeping camera moves all over the Tin Hau Temple and grounds at the eastern end of Repulse Bay beach.

Of course we've seen this place several times previously including That Man Bolt, Flatfoot in Hong Kong and Noble House (and I'm sure there are more). Here are the screencaps.


And we finish with a quick shot of the baddies escaping in their car along South Bay Road, just behind the temple.
