Throw Down - Bonham Strand West

Where Louis Koo goes for a wistful wander, following his drunken brawl with Aaron Kwok.


Throw Down - The Junction of Wing Lok Street and Bonham Strand

Having grabbed a pile of money, this is where Cherrie Ying and Louis Koo flee; having run out of a building on Wing Lok Street, they make their way on to Bonham Strand.

Fulltime Killer - Former Hollywood Road Police Married Quarters

Looking in to this location from Aberdeen Street, you can see that it is the back of the industrial building where Takashi Sorimachi watched his apartment from. To see the other side just walk down to the junction with Hollywood Road.


Sparrow - Burd Street

The street where Simon Yam spots the 'Pick-Pocket' posters. The Street View image is looking down the street from the opposite direction, as you can't really make anything out from the other end.

Sparrow - Bonham Strand West

Where Kenneth Cheung drops Kelly Lin off, after her car has (seemingly) broken down...

Sparrow - Wing Lok Street

Again with Wing Lok Street, this time it's where Kelly Lin meets up with Lo Hoi-Pang.


Sparrow - Western Market

Another one of Simon Yam's photographs, and also where Kelly Lin hides out, just next to where that portaloo is. Oh, and Simon Yam wanders past with his umbrella a little later on...

Sparrow - Wing Lok Street

Where Simon Yam starts taking photographs...


9413 - Wing Lok Street

Where Francis Ng is first introduced to the gun with the serial number 9413. The alleyway they have a shootout in is the one at the side of the Nam Wo Hong Building, running down to Tung Loi Lane.




Running On Karma - Greenfield Cafe

This is the cafe where Ceclia Cheung meets Andy Lau to talk about reports of people losing their left arm.


Running On Karma - The Chinese YMCA Of Hong Kong

Based on Bridges Street, this is where Andy Lau impresses Cecilia Cheung by having a fight with a tissue...


Running on Karma - Connaught Road Central

Where Eddie Cheung unceremoniously dumps Cecilia Cheung and sends her back to pick up the camera she left behind at a crime scene.



Running On Karma - Western Market

Where Cecilia Cheung decides to stop chasing Any Lau and follow the sound of gunfire...


And, on the other side, is where Andy Lau is apprehended...



Once A Gangster - Po Hing Fong

So, despite the fact that we saw Jordan Chan dash off down the Ladder Street steps, he ends up coming down the steps on to Po Hing Fong, which are kind of in the opposite direction.

Once A Gangster - Bridges Street

This is the spot where Jordan Chan and Pong Nan are ambushed, by Ekin Cheng's men who are after the Dragon Tail baton.

The Big Heat - Shun Tak Centre

So, lets ignore the fact that when Lionel Lo sees the bomb the timer reads '2:30', when he removes it the timer reads '1:30' and when he turns to Philip Kwok, he says "You've got 30 seconds!"

Any how, we're ignoring that and focussing on the fact that time is ticking away and they can't dump it out of the window on to the junction of Pedder Street and Queens Road Central. So, they run... through The Landmark and along Des Voeux Road Central, before cutting down Man Wa Lane where Philip has to take down a couple of cops at the junction with Connaught Road Central, in front of the Sun Tak Centre. Slightly obscured by the elevated version of Connaught Road, which didn't exist back in 1988. Oh, and let's ignore the fact that this is over 800 meters away from their starting location...



And, if we're ignoring those minor details, we won't mind that the location of the building site where they finally dump the bomb is probably about another 500 meters away. Philip Kwok did really well to spot this site from back in Central...
