The stretch of the Mid-Level Escalators that runs up Shelley Street, between Staunton Street and Elgin Street, is the location of the final encounter between Tony Leung / Samuel Pang and Sandra Ng / Jo Kuk.

Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone - Lei Yue Mun Praya Road
Tony Leung stops at this spot on Lei Yue Mun Praya Road, before weaving his way through the winding pathways that take him to the restaurant where he meets up with Robert Siu.
Lei Yue Mun Praya Road isn't covered on Street View, so I've used this Panoramio image (thanks Peter Mok ).

Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone - China Cafe
This is the diner where Samuel Pang hangs out. And, where Tony Leung goes and starts reminiscing about meeting Sandra Ng in London. Street View hasn't covered this stretch of Canton Road yet, so I've included a picture from OpenRice.com (thanks to yipyip88).
Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone - Ashley Road
The top end of Ashley Road is where Eason Chen stops Tony Leung to inform him that there's someone out to kill him.
Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone - Pui Kee Florist
This is the florist that Lee San-san's apartment is above and, also, the scene of an assassination attempt on Tony Leung.
Beast Cops - WWF Central Office
Err... The WWF Central Office, which is in the very odd location of 1 Tramway Path - the path which runs alongside the track of Peak Tram and underneath a flyover. Oh, and it is what they used for the location of the police station where Anthony Wong, Michael Wong and Sam Lee are based.
Beast Cops - Newport Theatre
The corner of Soy Street and Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, where Anthony Wong and Sam Lee are hanging out, when Michael Wong turns up in his Hummer. It pops up again later on in the film too.
Beast Cops - Prat Avenue Cafe
Apparently a good cafe to go to for an egg custard tart or a cup of tea, be you triad or cop. This little stretch of road crops up a few times, most notably when Patrick Tam's boys attack Michael Wong and the newspaper vendor. If anyone wants to translate the Chinese name for me, that would be super...
Beast Cops - Empress Plaza
Home of the nightclub that Anthony Wong takes Michael Wong to, in order to show him the world he now has to work within. i.e. The nightclub where Roy Cheung and his minions are based.
Beast Cops - Seashore Spa
The Seashore Spa or, as it was in the film, The Seashore Palace Health Spa; where the film's opening scene / assassination takes place.
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.

The Twins Effect - The Alleyway
So, a familiar looking the alleyway (well, the same one from 'PTU') where Ekin Cheng ends up in only a couple of leaps and bounds, from D'Aguilar Street.
The Twins Effect- D'Aguilar Street
There's a variation on this shot in 'The Killer', which is maybe worth looking at, just to see how much this street has changed in the last couple of decades. Any how, this is where Ekin Cheng and Gillian Chung stakeout some more vampires. It should also be pointed out that the vampires walk out of the Ho Lee Commercial Building, which is a shame as the next doorway down is for the bar, fittingly titled, 'Insomnia'.
The Twins Effect - Repulse Bay
The beach at Repulse Bay, where Edison Chen and Charlene Choi meet up. So, no Street View, but a Panoramio image (thanks to dr.Pazár László) of the same watchtower, viewing it from the other side.
The Twins Effect - Wing Wah Lane
Ekin Cheng is parked on Lan KWai Fong, probably outside the Midnight Express 7-11, looking up Wing Wah Street, before heading into a night club, which I don't recognise.
The Twins Effect - Abandoned Factory In Siu Lam
To be honest I had no idea; then I spied the Hong Kong Observatory Radar Station in the background of this shot. Any how, Ekin Cheng's apartment (or, at the very least, its roof) is located atop an abandoned factory, which overlooks the Flea Market and BBQ Ground at Siu Lam. The road running in front of the factory didn't make it on to Street Vie, but there's a Picasa image (thanks to chim8850) which shows the BBQ Ground in the foreground and the abandoned factory in the background.
