Righting Wrongs - Regent on the Park

This is where Yuen Biao's apartment is. Looking from Kennedy Road you can see the stylised outdoor lighting and enough of the towers to recognise it. The Shot which looks down from the apartment and the satellite image from Google show the same tennis courts and, more interestingly, the car park with the cylindrical access ramp and the levels of the car park which the car drove out of in the scene where he was attacked by hired thugs earlier.

The Big Heat - Supreme Court

Well, Waise Lee is in trouble, but the highlight of this trip to court is the look on Paul Chu's face when he is clocked by Matthew Wong.

The God Of Cookery - Lippo Centre Tower 2

Stephen Chow's... err... office (?) is on the balcony of Tower 2 of the Lippo Centre. This shot clearly shows the view from the balcony, looking down and across to the Bank Of China Tower or down and right to the roof of Fairmont House. There isn't a Street View of this balcony, which shouldn't be too much of a shock, but I have placed the marker for this location on the balcony itself, in the centre of the Google Maps image.

Crime Story - United Centre

The United Centre is an office building which is being used as a super swanky stand in for the Hong Kong Police Headquarters. Great view along Queensway of (from left to right) the High Court, Bank of China Tower, HSBC Headquarters Building, Bank of China Building and the Lippo Centre Towers.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get to the main entrance using Street View, but the shot where Kent Cheng is taking a call on the balcony area and the shot from the start of the film where Law Kar-Ying is asking for police protection.

Invisible Target - AIA World Carnival

On the occasion of its 2007 visit to Hong Kong, the AIA World Carnival was situated between the Chinese People's Liberation Army Forces Hong Kong Building and the CITIC Tower on Lung Wui Road. As previously mentioned, this road is at the heart of the waterfront redevelopment and has been consumed by construction, so there's no Street View. Although, you can still get a similar view.

The Twins Effect - Lung Wui Road

The Jackie Chan ambulance chase / fight, takes place on Lung Wui Road. This road seems to be at the heart of the waterfront redevelopment and seems to have been consumed by construction, so there's no Street View. Although, the Panoramio image (thanks to ljfhit) shows the two major buildings which the sequence takes place between.

Initially they pass the Chinese People's Liberation Army Forces Hong Kong Building (foreground) and head towards the CITIC Tower (background), before heading back in the direction they came and crashing opposite the junction with Tim Wah Avenue.

Men Suddenly In Black - Pacific Place

'Mission 1: Free Meal' - This is where Eric Tsang et al head to, with hopes of food and f**king, claiming that it is the perfect spot for underground sex, thanks to it being a travel hub, filled with shops, restaurants and hotels.
