Amor e Dedinhos de Pé - Joaquim de Almeida (1993) - Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida, Macau

A brief scene showing Francisco's boater-hatted buddies on their way to the wedding was shot at the north side of Tap Seac. In the initial image the actors can be seen walking down Travessa do Tap Siac - a small alleyway located between the Galeria Tap Seac and Arquivo de Macau buildings. The large archway at the end of the building was most likely built to hide some of the more modern buildings in the background. The main road in front of the buildings - which the arch has also been built across - is Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida.



There's also a sedan chair scene in the film that was shot along the same road, although the images below start at the section of road behind the arch above. These old Portuguese colonial houses are still around as far as I know - there are three in a row, all in a similar style and colour.

Vengeance - Johnny Hallyday (2009) - Tap Seac Square, Macau

Hallyday follows the hit man (played by Gordon Lam) all the way from Western Street in HK to Tap Seac Square in Macau, quite an impressive feat I think you'll agree. The large columned building in the background is the Cultural Institute and the curved wall on the right belongs to the Central Library.
