Royal Warriors - Michelle Yeoh (1986) - Sui Wo Road, Fo Tan

This is a road name that should be familiar to Jackie Chan fans because it's the same road where the infamous bus stunt happened in Police Story. This section of the road though is down in Fo Tan centre next to the Mecco Industrial Building. This is the first location the cars arrive at during the chase scene. Yamamoto's BMW does a jump across the junction with Fo Tan Road as he tries to catch up with the Raging Bull's truck.

Police Story - Jackie Chan (1985) - Sui Wo Road, Fo Tan

The bus chase ends with Jackie using a passersby's car to create a roadblock and makes the bus come to an abrupt stop and throw its occupants through the windows. If, like me, you grew up with Jonathan Ross's "Son of the Incredibly Strange Film Show" playing on a loop in the VCR, then you'll know that this was one of the film's stunts gone wrong. The guys were supposed to land on the "specially prepared car but instead landed in hospital" to quote (probably inaccurately, it's been a few years since I watched it) Jonathan Ross. Anyway, the scene was shot on Sui Wo Road in the hills above the Fotan industrial estate. Once again, a big credit to Daniel Thomas of Hong Kong on Film who was the first to locate the road way back when, and of course Andi has been up there for the great then/now comparison shots for Hong Kong Movie Tours.
