Well, after being beaten by the cops. I'm pretty sure that Chow Yun Fat is dropped off at the top of Lan Kwai Fong, which he stumbles down accordingly. Lan Kwai Fong isn't covered on Street View, but this Panoramio image shows the same (but very, very different) view (thanks to Slong_Ooi).

City On Fire - The Corner of Middle Road and Nathan Road
This is where Danny Lee and Chow Yun Fat are parked up, and goofing off. Although, the exact spot where they were parked is now an exit of Tsim Sha Tsui Station.
City On Fire - Kimberley Road
After being pursued by CID down Nathan Road, Chow Yun Fat jumps out of the truck he's hitched a ride in and then bobs off to the telephone box (at the junction with Nathan Road) to call Suen Yuet.
City On Fire - King's Road Elevated Walkway
The walkway that Chow Yun Fat crosses on his way to the nightclub where Maria Cordero is singing and he meets up with Chan Chi-Fai.
City On Fire - East Ocean Centre
This is where the 'Black Beauty' club, where we are introduced to Chow Yun Fat and Carrie Ng. was located.
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.
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.
School On Fire - Kowloon City Road
This is the street that Fennie Yuen and Terence Fok chase Sarah Lee. Well, at least until the junction with Sheung Heung Road...
Many thanks to 阿佳(A-KAI) from the Hong Kong, My Love blog, for spotting this one.

School On Fire - Tai Long Wan
This is the beach where Terence Fok, Fennie Yuen and others go to on their motorbikes and hang out...
There isn't a Street View of the beach, but this Panoramio image will do nicely (thanks to Jordick Wong).

School On Fire - Lung Kong Road
Well, the titular school has gone, replaced with a block of apartments, but plenty of action takes place outside on Lung Kong Road, including the scene where Roy Cheung comes to hassle Fennie Yuen. Note the sign for Lucky Fast Food (top-right corner), which has not changed in what is almost a quarter century...
School On Fire - Hing Wai Ice & Cold Storage Co Ltd
Well, in the film, there was a shanty town on the slope in front of this building, where Terence Fok and Fennie Yuen live together. It has now all but vanished, like most of the other locations from this film...
School On Fire - Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Co Ltd
This is the spot where one of the students takes on Terence Fok, after being beaten outside the school.
Touch And Go - Fei Ngo Shan Road
Where Vincent Wan says goodbye to Irene Wan, after showing her a lovely panorama of Hong Kong.
Touch And Go - Sai Kung Yacht Club
This is where Vincent Wan, Teresa Mo and Sammo Hung go to entrap Tommy Wong. As previously stated, Street View doesn't extend far enough to get a good look at the buildings, so I can't tell if the balcony restaurant is sill there, although I doubt it. Still, looking at this shot and focussing on the topography of the hills, it's pretty clear to see that we're looking across the water from almost the same spot.
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.
Touch And Go - Minden Avenue
This is where Sammo Hung runs to after witnessing the murder, where he ends up stabbing Chan Chi-Fai and, as we discover a couple of scenes along, his apartment is in the building on corner of the junction with Blenheim Avenue, although this building looks to have changed a lot.
The Twin Dragons - Yau Yat Chuen Garden City Club
The location of Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan's wedding. I suppose it's worth noting that, although Jackie runs out of the front of the building, a lot of the scene which follows shows the building from inside the club.
Thanks to Phil from the Hong Kong (& Macau) Stuff / Hong Kong (& Macau) Film Stuff blogs, for spying this one.

The Twin Dragons - Tsing Yi Promenade
The slightly desolate waste ground that Jackie Chan and Teddy Robin Kwan wander across before they attempt their escape to China, is now the promenade at Tsing Yi. The railway bridge now spans the rambler channel, but the steps down to water still remain.
And, when you look at the view north from the Tsing Tsuen bridge, it remains remarkably recognisable.
