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.

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 - 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...

Invisible Target - Kai Hing Street

Where Shawn Yu pulls Wu Jing over and ends up being fed a handful of bullets.

Invisible Target - Western Market / Western Market Terminus

The south side of the Western Market, to be precise. A good place for a stakeout, as I'm assuming the bakery sells doughnuts. Then, just across the road, you have the Western Market Terminus, along the roof of which Nicholas Tse pursues Philip Ng.

Invisible Target - Not A Parking Space

The bit of pavement on the corner of Ice House Street and Des Voeux Road Central. If you're stupid enough to park there, it should be no surprise to find Jaycee Chan giving you a ticket.

Invisible Target - 14 Pak Sha Road

The location of Nicholas Tse's apartment, with the top of Lee Theatre Plaza in the background.

Invisible Target - Queens Road Central

I was going to say that this is where the armoured vehicle is blown up, but it kinda seems self-explanatory with the screen cap. Note that Lukfook Jewellery now occupy the space where the jewellery shop in the film was.
