Bullet for Hire - Simon Yam (1991) - Lei King Wan Estate, Shau Kei Wan

We are back in the vicinity of the earlier killing of the Interpol peeps as we are given an establishing shot of where Ngok supposedly lives. This is a view of Site A of the Lei King Wan development along Tai Hong Street. Han goes here because he has a hunch that his buddy is still alive. They go to talk on the roof, but as you'll see in the next post, this was filmed at a separate location.

The lower image shows Han and Ngok's daughter escaping from the gunmen, but this scene was actually filmed on another part of the estate, next to Tower 15 on what is called Site D. You can tell it was here by the diagonal plane of the block in the back left of the image.

Bullet for Hire - Simon Yam (1991) - Tai Hong Street, Shau Kei Wan

After Lei King Street, the car - driven by the female Interpol agent Elaine (Elaine Lui) - turns onto Tai Hong Street to try and escape the assassins. The yellow bridge like road in the background was the old vehicular access ramp for the ferry pier. That particular ferry structure has since been taken over by the Marine Police and both piers here now contain their operations. One contains the Harbour Division  HQ (also seen in Black Mask a while back and can be seen in the distance of the top image) and the other (seen on the left of the lower image) is now the Regional HQ.
