Yakuza on Foot - Tomisaburô Wakayama (1969) - To Kwa Wan Road, Kowloon
The scene where one of Oriental Travel's drug mules is attacked by the triads, and has his drug stash stolen, was filmed at the very top end of To Kwa Wan Road where it reached the perimeter fence around the Kai Tak airfield site. This location is now the start point of the relatively new Shing Kai Road that now traverses the old runway and airport site.

Knock Off - Jean Claude Van Damme (1997) - To Kwa Wan Road, To Kwa Wan
Whoops! Another one I had skipped over without realising. It's just after the two escape the marauding hordes at the fruit market. They escape and find themselves all the way over the other side of Kowloon - quite an impressive feat!
Sadly, there is some scaffolding obscuring the view on the current Streetview picture of this location, however, look at the window under the tarpaulin and you can see it's the same pattern that can be seen behind the fruit vendor on the top screen grab. We haven't been out this way since Friends.
