Haunted Cop Shop - Fa Yuen Street
It's hard to get a good angle of this on Streetview, but here's the street where we meet Jacky Cheung and Ricky Hui at the beginning of the film.
Task Force - Wing Kee Restaurant
Where Leo Koo, Karen Mok and Eric Tsang are eating, when Do Tak-Chi turns up with some crabs...
Task Force - Fife Street
After Charlie Yeung screams "Robbery!", Leo Koo chases Tang Chung-Kan down the stretch of Fife Street, which runs between Nathan Road and Portland Street.
Fulltime Killer - China Cafe
Where Simon Yam meets up with Kelly Lin to find out what happened after they fled. Street View hasn't covered this stretch of Canton Road yet, so I've included a picture from OpenRice.com (thanks to feverfew).
Fulltime Killer - Liberty Avenue
Where Simon Yam does some shopping, before bumping in to a couple of street punks.
Sparrow - Braga Circuit
Where Kelly Lin ends up, after chasing he boy with Lo Hoi-Pang's keys and realises they are being returned to their owner...
City On Fire - Tung Choi Street
This is where the film's opening scene, with Elvis Tsui meeting his grizzly fate, takes place. I'm not sure which of the three junctions is the exact location (things have changed), but I'm fairly confident that it's the junction with Soy Street.
Final Victory - Brighten Florists
Well, this was the spot where 'Chicago' was; the cafe where Eric Tsang heads to meet Tsui Hark's ladies. Sadly, however, it has gone. I might try and get a better screen cap than the one I have currently, although you can see the distinctive frontage of the Prince Edward Building on the opposite corner, the tree on the pavement outside and the elevated section of Prince Edward Road West...
Still, great spotting by 阿佳(A-KAI) from the Hong Kong, My Love blog. Thanks...

School On Fire - Portland Street
Well, I guess it stands to reason that when Fennie Yuen is taken to work in a brothel, it's on Portland Street; with the cafe that Roy Cheung hangs out in, being just there on the corner. Although it has changed a little in the past 25 or so years. Many thanks, once again, to 阿佳(A-KAI) from the Hong Kong, My Love blog, for doing the detective work.
I Love Hong Kong - Sai Yeung Choi Street South
A bit further up the street from the earlier location, this is where Tony Leung starts trying to sell his toys.
I Love Hong Kong - Sai Yeung Choi Street South
Where Sai Yeung Choi Street South meets Dundas Street, is where Mag Lam is doing her 'Lolita' modelling / promotions job.
Touch And Go - The Junction of Yuen Ngai Street and Prince Edward Road West
This is the junction where Tommy Wong pulls up alongside Sammo Hung and Vincent Wan, before opening fire.
Young And Dangerous : The Prequel - Soy Street
This little stretch of Soy Street, which runs between Nathan Road and Portland Street, is where Yu Ka-Ho bumps into Sandra Ng and Kirsty Yeung...
Running On Karma - Restaurant
So, yeah, I can't translate the Chinese characters; if any would like to give me the English name of this place, that would be great. Any hoo, it's where Andy Lau and Ceilia Chung go for food, after Andy's body-building competition.
Young And Dangerous : The Prequel - Corner of Arran Street and Lai Chi Kok Road
This is the sport where the boys wait around for the target of their first hit. The pursuit that follows takes them down to the junction with Nathan Road.
