Where Louis Koo flips his car through a lorry carrying a lot of Pepsi.

Invisible Target - Tutti Bar and Restaurant
Well, perhaps my last 'Invisible Target' spot: the location of Aquarius, where Shawn Yue is introduced and has a run in with Lam Suet.
Connected - Car Park 2, Hong Kong International Airport
Where Louis Koo and Barbie Hsu meet, following on from all kinds of antics inside the airport.
Connected - Fei Ngo Shan
Louis Koo calls Liu Ye and makes his demands from atop Fei Ngo Shan (or the Kowloon Peak).
Thanks, again, to the Phil from the Hong Kong (& Macau) Stuff / Hong Kong (& Macau) Film Stuff blogs, who spotted this when I was trying to place it as a location from 'Election'.
And, as there's no image on Street View, I've used the image from TripnTale.com again (thanks nowzone).

Connected - Former Cha Kwo Ling Kaolin Mine
After careering down a hill, this is where Louis Koo comes to rest. It's actually the site of an old mine and a very interesting looking spot, just behind the squatter type structures which run along Cha Kwo Ling Road, which is where the Street View cap is looking back at the location from.
Connected - Fei Ngo Shan Road
This is the spot where Liu Ye takes Carlos Chan to look for his video camera. The Street View image is the view from the stretch of road they are on.
And, after a run around on the ridge, Louis Koo returns to the road just around the corner.

Connected - Apliu Street
The location of the the tiny (unidentifiable) shop where Nick Cheung goes to collect his repaired mobile phone.
Connected - Wang Lok Street
This is where Louis Koo smashes through an access gate, before speeding along the Yuen Long Nullah (a word I'd never heard until today!). What confused me about this spot, is the fact that he's actually stuck in traffic about 300m down the road (probably where the 'W' from the 'Wang Lok St' label is), when he makes the decision to do this. More cinematic lies...
Connected - Tai Hong Street
The street where Louis Koo pulls in front of Nick Cheung, in an unsuccessful attempt to palm Barbie Hsu's call on to the police.
Connected - Yen Wah Steps
The location where we first meet Louis Koo; he starts at the bottom, stops off to witness some debt collection, then arrives at the top where his car is parked.
(Also the 200th location of the blog, in 214 posts!!!)

Connected - Bride's Pool Road
The stretch of Bride's Pool Road, just before the turn for Wu Kau Tan, adjacent to the picnic area; where Barbie Hsu is run into by Liu Ye.
Invisible Target - Education Bureau Kowloon Tong Education Resource Centre
Well, this snappily titled building is used as part of the digital composite which makes up the police headquarters building. Thanks to Baycrest for spotting this one.
Invisible Target - Kowloon City Elderly Health Centre
Well, if Nicholas Tse starts chasing Wu Jing, who is chasing Philip Ng, sets out from near the Western Market in Sheung Wan, the chase soon moves a few miles to Kowloon West and then finishes another couple of miles away, as the trio jump from the roof of Kowloon City Market on to the roof of Kowloon City Elderly Health Centre.
I actually just stumbled across this, whilst walking from Diamond Hill to Tsim Sha Tsui, having previously thought that it would probably be over in Kowloon West, like the rest of the rooftop chase...

Invisible Target - Kowloon West Rooftops
Well, you can't actually access the rooftops and run across them, like Nicholas Tse, Wu Jing and Philip Ng, and they're not quite on Street View, but you can clearly see that a lot of the chase takes place on the rooftops in the block between Ka Shin Street, Pok Man Street and Tai Kok Tsui Road, with the Mong Kok Ambulance Depot and New Kowloon Plaza clearly visible.
Invisible Target - JC Studio
So, the backyard of JC Studio is what they used for the car park area of the police station. Even though the Street View image is from the road outside the lot, you can spot various features on the building itself, but the main give-away is the giant satellite dish, under which Jaycee Chan and Andy On have their final fiery fight beneath.
Invisible Target - Sai Ying Pun Community Complex
The building outside which the taxi containing Nicholas Tse and Philip Ng comes to a crashing halt.
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.
Invisible Target - On Kwan Street
The top of On Kwan Street, just before it hits On Yiu Street, is where Wu Jing and Sam Lee get stopped in their tracks, by the aftermath of a road accident. If you head down On Yiu Street, you'll get to Topsail Plaza, where Wu Jing hijacks the school bus.
Invisible Target - Wing Fung Street
Part of a little maze of streets filled with some quite fancy restaurants, where Jaycee Chan, Shawn Yue and Nicholas Tse all hook up for the first time. Not sure where they go for their tea / fight though...
