A Queen's Ransom - George Lazenby (1976) - Tsuen Wan Sports Ground, Tsuen Wan

Like Bons Baisers de Hong Kong before it, we catch a glimpse of some of the festivities attended by the Queen at the old Tsuen Wan Sports Ground.


Although the sports ground has since been demolished - partly replaced by the area upon which Nina Tower sits - the industrial building to the left of the Gulf and Texaco oil containers still exists on the other side of the Ma Tau Pa Road. It's called the Gunzetal Ltd Building. In A Queen's Ransom, this is the location where the baddies are supposed to assassinate the Queen using a sniper rifle.

Bons Baisers de Hong Kong - Les Charlots (1975) - Tsuen Wan Sports Ground, Tsuen Wan

This one took a bit of tracking down because it has been redeveloped - as has much of the old Tsuen Wan town. Part of the Queen's itinerary took her to a dragon dance on a sports ground. She also painted the dragon's eye. The venue was the old sports ground that has since been demolished to make way for part of Tsuen Wan Park and a development called "The Dynasty" which stands right next door to Nina Tower (Tsuen Wan's tallest building). The rest of the site still appears to be derelict and storage for construction materials.
