Well, this was the spot where 'Chicago' was; the cafe where Eric Tsang heads to meet Tsui Hark's ladies. Sadly, however, it has gone. I might try and get a better screen cap than the one I have currently, although you can see the distinctive frontage of the Prince Edward Building on the opposite corner, the tree on the pavement outside and the elevated section of Prince Edward Road West...
Still, great spotting by 阿佳(A-KAI) from the Hong Kong, My Love blog. Thanks...

Final Victory - Nim Wan Road
This is the road that Eric Tsang is running along at the end of the film, when he sees the police leaving. The beach where Eric and Tsi Hark have their chat is the stretch in front of this road.
Final Victory - Chik Chuen Street
Once upon a time this was a branch of Citibank, where Eric Tsang makes another fruitless robbery attempt. Looking at the shop fronts, you can see quite a change with the former location of Citibank transformed into a cosmetics shop, but not as much as when you turn to the left...
Final Victory - Tai Wai Road
This is the second bank that Eric Tsang attempts to rob; an HSBC, which has since gone and been replaced with a beauty salon. Still, just across from the road is a branch of Wing Lung Bank, which is still there, albeit with a new branding. Many thanks to andi81 for the spotting work!
Final Victory - Yue Hwa International Building
Once home to a branch of Bank Of America, which Eric Tsang attempts to rob; now, depending on where you look at it from on Street View, it's either a branch of Yue Hwa or Esprit.
Final Victory - Wing On Building
Formerly the HSBC where Eric Tsang empties his account, now a florist's. The cafe where he then joins Loletta Lee and Margaret Lee is no longer there.
Final Victory - Tolo Highway
After their escape, this is where Eric Tsang, Loletta Lee and Margaret Lee come to gather their thoughts. The capture from Street View is taken from pretty much the exact spot their roofless BMW was parked.
Final Victory - Loong Chu Mahjong Company
This is the spot where Margaret Lee goes to play mahjong, whilst she waits to be rescued from Wong Hung, by Eric Tsang and Loletta Lee. The streets around the block this is on feature in the subsequent chase, but I'm not going to pinpoint every single corner...
