Gen Y Cops - Edison Chen (2000) - SCMP Office, Tai Po Industrial Estate

Here's one I couldn't identify when I was initially researching locations for this film, but I finally found out it was the (former) SCMP offices at the Tai Po Industrial Estate. As far as I am aware the SCMP moved out of this place just before COVID came crashing down on our heads and it currently sits empty. However, the green painted walkways that span the central office space are quite well known (just not to me).

This place and the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine are used for the Police HQ.

Police Story 2 - Jackie Chan (1988) - Tai Po Industrial Estate, Tai Po

This is where Jackie is seen directing traffic immediately after the incident with the speeding trucks. Funnily enough, Dai Fu Street is the exact same place where Chan was hanging onto the bus by the umbrella in the first Police Story.

Police Story - Jackie Chan (1985) - Dai Cheong Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate

The strip of road where Jackie (well, actually it was a stuntman! shock horror!) is thrown from the bus is Dai Cheong Street. He gets thrown off as the bus turns into Dai Kwai Street, but when Jackie looks up to see the bus driving away, it is driving back up Dai Cheong Street. The building on the right in image top is the Lam Soon Building. The surrounding area looked quite barren back in 1985, but these days both sides of this road are now packed with industrial and factory buildings.

Police Story - Jackie Chan (1985) - Dai Fu Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate

Despite grabbing an umbrella from a poor woman on On Cheung Street in Tai Po centre, and then popping out from the side of the Siu Lek Yuen Telephone Exchange in Shatin a few seconds before, the geography defying chase goes back to Tai Po as Jackie chases the bus down. Props again to Dan for locating this one originally as Jackie uses his filched brolly to attach himself to the side of the bus.

As we get the in-bus point of view of Jackie running behind the bus we are on Dai Fu Street in the Tai Po Industrial Estate. The bus is driving west and we are looking east.


Then in the side-on view it looks as though the bus is now driving back the way it has just come because the wall at the back belongs to a building on the north side of the road (you can see the wall on the left in the third image - it now belongs to "Pico" but I have no idea who was there in 1985)


Then as we look out of the bus again, after Jackie has successfully grabbed on (for the time being at least), we are now back to the original direction. I think it's safe to assume the crew did a fair amount of filming up and down this road.


The final shot is of the bus veering around the corner and making jackie swing out into the road with just his crappy little umbrella keeping him attached. This was the corner of Dai Fu Street where it turns south in a right angled bend. The buildings at the back are the ones now owned by Pico (just mentioned) where the side on view was filmed in image 2. Suffice to say the industrial estate has a lot more buildings here now and the green can no longer be seen. Unilever and Fairwood have two large factory centres in that green bit now.
