Painted Faces - Sammo Hung (1988) - U Lam Terrace, Sheung Wan

As the boys make their way home from the rice collevtion at the jetty, they stop to buy toys at a hawker stall. The stone steps in the background lead up to U Lam Terrace from Rozario Street. The stone balustrade of the steps has had a bit of a clean up since the movie was made and it also looks as though someone - not very skilled - has tried to repair parts of it much in the same way that the Spanish lady tried to restore that painting of Jesus a few years back. For a better view of how the steps used to look then you can view an image from 1996 on Gwulo that shows a better match to how it looked when the movie was shot.

Yellowthread Street (TV Series) - Bruce Payne (1990) - Steps by U Lam Terrace, Sheung Wan

Anyone who has visited the Museum of Medical Sciences will know these steps. It seems as though the crew for the Chinese Boxes episode didn't feel the need to travel too far for various scenes from this film (you should recall the car chase was also filmed around here). Look carefully and you can see the edge of the museum building in the background.

This place hasn't really changed much at all, but it looks as though the museum has had a bit of a spruce up as has the cornice on the top of the wall.
