Rosa - Junction of Tai Po Tai Wo Road and Nam Wan Road
This is where the gang are stopped by a traffic cop, later in the aforementioned montage...
Rosa - East Ocean Centre
This is where Yuen Biao and Lowell Lo meet up with Monica Luk and Kara Hui at the start of the musical montage. Exiting on the New Mandarin Plaza Podium side of the Centre, rather than the Granville Road side. That side isn't covered on Street View, so I have used a Panoramio image (thanks to 030lsl).
Rosa - Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower
Well, I'm not sure if the phone booths, that Charlie Cho calls from, have moved or just lessened in number, however, the tower is still there...
Rosa - Braemar Hill Shopping Centre
This is where the opening scene of the film takes place. Not sure if the Bid Barrel Inn is still there though...
Pom Pom - Blackhead Point Signal Tower
After a little discussion with Phil (of Hong Kong (& Macau) Stuff / Hong Kong (& Macau) Film Stuff fame), I decided to include this.
I originally noticed the tower over Richard Ng's shoulder, during the fight he and John Shum have with Dick Wei. I thought that I'd come back and look at the spot and see what it was at a later date, which happened when we started discussing Signal Hill Garden. This is somewhere I have never been to, despite having done some pretty extensive exploration of Tsim Sha Tsui. Although, it seems the hidden nature of the garden is part of its appeal, as Phil points out in this blog post. There isn't a Street View which shows the garden / tower, but this Panoramio pic shows it nicely (thanks to Clifandi Chan.)

Pom Pom - Teiah Inn
This is the love hotel where Richard Ng and John Shum are entertaining their date before they dash off to To Kwa Wan. The frontage has changed considerably, however the neighbouring Romantic Villa is easily recognisable.
Pom Pom - Wing Lung Bank Ltd
Well, in the film, it's the Tye Loong Supermarket where the opening scene takes place...
