Legacy of Rage - Brandon Lee (1986) - Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Promenade

We were here just a few short posts ago, but this is where Brandon goes to meet his girlfriend. She's a bit angry because he's late but being the nice guy he is he makes no mention of his altruistic sprint through Kowloon to reunite and little girl with her family.

Fearless Tiger - Jalal Merhi (1991) - Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront, Tsim Sha Tsui

Lyle wanders along the TST waterfront with his HK Police buddy, Peng, who suggests to him that he go and learn fluidity from a great "master that lives on the mountain". The "Master" is played by Bolo and he hangs out at the Lion Pavilion, a tourist hotspot, like all great, mystical masters.

The Confidence Man JP: The Movie - Masami Nagasawa (2019) - Kowloon Waterfront, Tsim Sha Tsui

Several scenes were shot along the waterfront in TST when Jessie and Ran Riu (the "Ice Princess") go out on a date and also later as Ran Riu makes her way to the airport. The bottom image is actually a mashup. She's supposed to be at the airport but this was obviously filmed in Tsim Sha Tsui (you can tell by the railings) with the control tower superimposed later.

The sad thing about the shots around the clocktower is that both of these actors independently committed suicide the very next year. RIP Haruma Miura and Yûko Takeuchi.

Love Circles - Michelle Siu (1985) - East Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront, Tsim Sha Tsui

After working out a plan to trick the journalist, a meeting place is arranged on the Kowloon side of the waterfront. You can see by the background buildings in image two that this section is the part in front of East TST.

Righting Wrongs - Yuen Biao (1986) - Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Kowloon

Rothrock arranges to meet Louis Fan at the waterfront so he can spill the beans on what he really saw when James Tien was killed but bent cop, Melvin, has hired a killer to take Fan out and this is where we are introduced to Karen Shepherd for the chase and subsequent fight between her and her former US forms rival, Rothrock.

Other than the disappearance of the New World Centre from the background, this stretch of waterfront, not being part of the new-slightly-better-than-before-or-is-it-really "Avenue of Stars", has remained fairly unchanged in the 35 years since the film's release.
