Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Dragonara, 248 Tai Mong Tsai Road

The woman pulls into a large waterfront property. This is the base of the criminal gang that the killer of Liang Kuan works for. The property is located at 248 Tai Mong Tsai Road and is still around. It's called Dragonara and was recently sold (2022) for HK$181M (that's about $22M US).

The building has an occupation permit issued in April of 1974 - almost a whole year after this film was released. So it might have been newly finished when the film crew used it. It does appear that the interiors are also the same property rather than being a studio set.

Police Force - Wang Chung (1973) - Tai Mong Tsai Road, Sai Kung

The cops follow the woman into Sai Kung and along Tai Mong Tsai Road. This is the curve in the road right next to Tso Wo Hang.

The film is trying to draw out the pursuit for as long as possible because the next scene sees us looking at the same small stretch of road as the cars come back again.

Cosa Nostra Asia - Chris Mitchum (1974) - Sai Kung

Before Robert Mitchum came to Hong Kong to star in The Amsterdam Kill, his son, Christopher, had already been in this part of the world for one of Golden Harvest's first efforts: H-Bomb. A few years later he was back for a Filipino-produced spy film called Cosa Nostra Asia (producer Bobby Suarez later went on to make They Call Her Cleopatra Wong).

It's a weird film that is supposedly set largely in Hong Kong but appears to have been mainly shot in Taiwan, with a brief library shot of Chicago (as an establishing shot for the HQ of the Mafia) thrown in for good measure. To be honest, the quality of the copy available online makes it very hard to identify many of the locations, but there are enough to make it worth including. A big thanks to AP who was the one who made me aware of this movie last year.

The film opens with Chris (Mitchum) single-handedly raiding a drug warehouse before going off on his motorbike to spy on a drug exchange. I don't believe any of this was filmed in Hong Kong - at least I can't say with any confidence - but weirdly there is a brief scene as he makes his way through the mountains to the drug rendezvous that looks familar (regular readers might recognise it - see second image), as well as a brief view of the general area around the Tai Mong Tsai Road, north of Sai Kung town centre. I *think* it's Chris Mitchum riding the bike along these dirt trails, but it's too dark to be 100% confident. 

It's a bit dark but this is Tai Mong Tsai area with

Sai Kung hills- recognise them?

Supermen Against the Orient - Robert Malcolm (1973) - Tso Wo Hang Jetty, Sai Kung

The start of the film takes place in Sai Kung as a drug deal is interuppted by some kung fu cops at a remotye jetty. As the two criminal factions do their deal by the waterside, the cops jump out from their concealed location and take on all comers. It was all filmed at a jetty in front of Tso Wo Hang village, just off Tai Mong Tsai Road along the northern shore of Port Shelter in Sai Kung.

Die Jungen Tiger von Hongkong - Robert Woods (1969) - Tai Mong Tsai Road, Sai Kung

After his target escapes from him on Fung Sau Road, Woods catches up with the car on nearby Tai Mong Tsai Road and attempts (unsuccessfully) to stop him again there. Remember that this scene is still supposedly set in Singapore.

Soldier, Soldier - Robson Green (1992) - Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung

Whoops! When I did this earlier post featuring Fuk Hing Bridge in Pak Tam Chung, I had yet to identify another location from the same episode (Lifelines) that has turned out to be just up the road from the Fuk Hing Bridge.

The location is supposedly the border fence portion where the Illegal Immigrants break through what appears to be a large storm drain by using a car jack to bend the bars of the drain grill.

The "drain" is actually a cleverly disguised bridge that carries Tai Mong Tsai Road over the Lung Hang stream a little further north from the Fuk Hing Bridge. The props department for the show have constructed a fake concrete wall blocking the arch of the bridge and installed an authentic wire fence to make it look like the real closed border area. So I give the props department their..props! It had me fooled for a few days.
