The Young Rebel - David Chiang (1975) - To Fuk Road, Kowloon Tong

Another look at the lower end of To Fuk Road between Norfolk Road and York Road (although I believe it was nameless at the time). This is the same area we see in The Generation Gap, but in this film we get a much better view of the southwest entrance to the old army base that was here. The area below is now a roundabout where To Fuk Road joins Norfolk Road.

This location can also be seen in The Generation Gap. It was a grassy pathway running along the east side of the old KCR rail track. With the subsequent development of Kowloon Tong, this pathway became part of what is now To Fuk Road.

Ling Xi's brother has tricked them both into returning Cindy home and a fight ensues between the two brothers. Surprisingly for a Chang Cheh film they both keep their shirts on, but the fight carries on along a small bridal path running alongside the old KCR track. This was when the track was still single-track and yet to be electrified. The wooded hillock on the left of the top image is where Festival Walk was later constructed. The area behind Ti Lung in the centre image is the former British garrison Ordnance Depot which contained St George's School (and apparently a primary school called St Andrew's). These days there is a cluster of Govt offices and schools on the site including Yew Chung and the Australian International School. Once again, the google marker is playing up and snapping to nearby buildings, but basically this area where the filming was done is between today's To Fuk Road and the railway track just opposite Yew Chung International Secondary School.

Cindy lives with her parents at a property accessed from what is now To Fuk Road. I'm not sure how old this road name is because older maps don't show it and this was not the throughfare it is today, but more of a side street from the main estate. The entrance to the house tells me that the property was #10 Norfolk Road, although this was a side entrance as the main entrance is on the aforementioned Norfolk Road side. This property, like many others in the area (though not as many as there once was) currently operates as a Love Motel.

The first image we see is of Cindy walking home with her friends. The lower wall behind them belongs to 13 York Road and remains to this day although it has had some additional height added to it, the original section can still be recognised. Here is the current streetview for context.

Later in the film we get to see in the other direction as Ling Xi's brother (played by a bespectacled Ti Lung) tricks Cindy into going home and a fight breaks out between the two brothers next to the railway track. Note the no entry signs at the end of the road. These mark the boundary of the Military area that was located there. I believe it was the former Ordnance Depot of the army and contained St George's School, a UK army school for garrison children.

The scenes where Ling Xi climbs up the side of the house to Cindy's bedroom though, I believe these were shot at Movietown on a specially constructed facade. The house facade in the movie looks a bit too slapdash to have been real, and the environment doesn't look right for Kowloon Tong.
