Heart Of Dragon - Shelley Street / Jamia Mosque

So, just a bit further up Shelley Street is where one of Sammo Hung's friends lives, just opposite the entrance to the Jamia Mosque: the green archway with the pillars on the left of the capture.

Another big thanks to Phil (from the highly recommended Hong Kong (& Macau) Stuff / Oriental Sweetlips & Hong Kong (& Macau) Film Stuff blogs) for pinpointing this. As previously mentioned, there isn't a Street View for Shelley Street and there isn't an exact Panoramio pic, but there's a Picasa image which shows off the archway that leads up to the mosque (thanks to Yves Traynard).

Heart Of Dragon - Shelley Street / Caine Road

So, Shelley Street seems to be a prominent player in the film; a location which is made all the more tricky to recognise, as it is not the street which the Mid-Level Escalators run up. A massive thanks to wonderful Phil (from the excellent Hong Kong (& Macau) Stuff / Oriental Sweetlips & Hong Kong (& Macau) Film Stuff blogs) who spotted these locations.

This is where Jackie Chan And Sammo Hung live; it's at the junction with Caine Road. Street View does go along Shelley Street (no shock there) and there isn't a Panoramio image which shows the same spot as it is today, so I just thought I'd show the junction, escalator and the Blue/Maroon building which is visible to the right of the walkway in the screen cap.
