A Simple Life - Beneath The West Kowloon Corridor

Where Andy Lau and Yu Man-Si park up and reminisce...

A Simple Life - Yee Kuk Street Alleyway

Ha ha! I guessed this was probably filmed just along the street from the retirement home and I was right. This is the alleyway where Andy Lau spots Paul Chun spending his HK$300...

A Simple Life - Grammy Centre

Well, the ground floor of Block B of the Grammy Centre in Sham Shui Po. It might not look familiar when you see it on Street View, but spin around 180 degrees (shame about that van...) and you'll recognise the view that is seen from the retirement home.

The Thirty Million Dollar Rush - Boundary Street

Well, the pawn shop has gone and the entrance to the building has changed a bit, but this is where Karl Maka goes to get his tuxedo back. What is amazing is that the Everbright Piece Goods Co. has not changed in any way, shape or form in the last twenty-five years...

Connected - Apliu Street

The location of the the tiny (unidentifiable) shop where Nick Cheung goes to collect his repaired mobile phone.

Bullet In The Head - A Hill in Sham Shui Po

To be honest, I never thought I'd find this, but I did. Although, I have no idea what this hill is called, what the mast on this bit of concrete is or what the building in between the concrete area and Cornwall Street is. Answers on a postcard, to the usual address...

Unfortunately, Street View hasn't made it up the side of this hill, but there's a Picasa image which matches up with the shot in the film, showing the Shek Kip Mei Estate (thanks to Thomas for the pic and Roger for the correction).

Where's Officer Tuba? - Lung Cheung Road Lookout

Where Sammo Hung takes Joey Wang on a date; strangely, with Jacky Cheung in tow...

There isn't a Street View that shows any of the details or a Panoramio / Picasa pic which shows the panorama, the sign and the distinctive concrete parasols, but there is a good Panoramio image which shows the latter nicely (thanks to JosipZg-CRO).

The Lunatics - Lung Cheung Road Lookout

The spot where Stanley Fung and Deannie Yip go for a chat at the end of a long day of social work and journalism, respectively.

There isn't a Street View that shows any of the details or a Panoramio / Picasa pic which shows the panorama, the sign and the distinctive concrete parasols, but there is a good Panoramio image which shows the panorama (in daylight) and the sign as it now looks (thanks to johnsonso).
