Back in the 1970s, Nelson Street's western end extended a small part across what was then the southern end of Tong Mi Road, forming an L-shaped junction. Tong Mi Road has since been widened and extended south, absorbing what was this small section of Nelson Street. The images below show Jim (Brendam Boone) standing on that old, western limit before walking east towards the rest of Nelson Street proper. In the background of the top two images you can see the Ferry Point Estate to the south and the ridgeline of Hong Kong Island beyond. This Streetview shows what the area looks like now.

Contagion - Matt Damon (2011) - Tong Mi Road, Mongkok
A late identification due to a mistaken belief that the sequence at the beginning when the infected waiter gets killed was filmed around Hung Hom. The scene where he staggers in front of the truck was actually filmed up in Mongkok along a section of the Tong Mi Road just in front of where Shamchun Street and Cheung Wong Road meet.
The giveaway here is the tapered and lined flyover supports and the yellow canopy that adorns the Metro Regalia building on the opposite side of the road.
The film makers caught the area on a nice bright day compared to the rather drab Streetview picture I have below for comparison. The camera crew were also positione further back on the aforementioned streets. The trees have grown a little but you can just still see the yellow canopy over the road.
