Task Force - Kowloon Wholesale Fruit Market
Where Eric Tsang and Do Tak-Chi first fight. Note that the Street View image is looking down towards where they were fighting.
Running On Karma - Wylie Road
Yeah, it's another location where Andy Lau demonstrates his mean moped skills. The Chinese University of Hong Kong - Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Community College, Ma Kam Chan Memorial Building (bit of a mouthful) has been considerably revamped (rebuilt) since this scene was shot.
Running On Karma - Wylie Road
This is the spot where Any Lau flies across a couple of lanes of traffic and then dries up a grass / mud bank, before crashing back to the pavement. As you can see from Street View the bank is fenced off and construction is taking place.
Once A Gangster - Che Chi Kee Cutlery Co Ltd
This is the knife / cutlery shop which Conroy Chan runs. Unfortunately, they had their sun canopy down...
Once A Gangster - Chung Hwa Book Co (HK) Ltd
Well, the Yau Ma Tei branch. This little nubbin of Public Square Street on the eastern side of Nathan Road is where Ekin Cheng and his boys pull up, have a little rumble with some of Alex Fong's boys and make their way in to the book shop.
Colour Of The Truth - Woosung Street
Whilst Lau Ching Wan is off meeting Francis Ng, the cops arrive on Woosung Street.
And, rather strangely, after mentioning Champagne Court on Kimberley Road and filming a scene there, it is this location which is used (again) for the aftermath of Carl Ng's stabbing...

Colour Of The Truth - Temple Street
The opening shots of the film are taken from an aerial position, just above this spot, looking one way and then another along Temple Street.
The shot used when gunshots are heard, shows people looking up at the building on the junction of Temple Street and Shanghai Street, essentially a very similar position, but at street level.

Dr. Lamb - Yau Ma Tei Police Station
Where Simon Yam and family are taken for questioning after his apartment is raided.
Where's Officer Tuba? - Kowloon Wholesale Fruit Market
Where Yuen Wah heads to with a briefcase full of money. Needless to say, Sammo Hung and Jacky Cheung are in hot pursuit and ready for a showdown with Chang Yi and Hwang Jang-Lee.
Street View looks down Shek Lung Street, but doesn't really let you see into the depths of the market. Luckily, there's a really nice Panoramio which shows it in all its glory (thanks to Percy Tai 漆園童).

Portland Street Blues - Hoi Fai Road
Now, as far as I can tell, Hoi Fai Road runs along the waterfront of Tai Kok Tsui and goes over some reclaimed land. Now, the spot where Sandra Ng goes to thank Alex Fong, as he heads off into hiding is just a bit further along from the spot I've marked, which Street View doesn't quite cover. Still, you can see the same cranes, breakwater walls and the topography of Hong Kong Island is a match too.
This area, next to the roundabout, is also where the Tai Kok Tsui Ferry Pier and Bus Terminus used to be, but this has since been replaced with the HSBC Centre. This spot is used for the confrontation between Sandra Ng and Kam Hing-Yin, later in the movie.

Portland Street Blues - Kowloon Wholesale Fruit Market
After the opening scene in the nightclub, Sandra Ng and her girls walk along Shek Lung Street, through the Kowloon Wholesale Fruit Market, stopping at the junction with Reclamation Street, before one of them is outed as a traitor.
I tried to grab a shot of the Fruit Market side of the street, which was still recognisable, but the only thing to tie it in was the No Entry sign, which seems to have been getting absorbed into the buildings...

The Lunatics - Yau Ma Tei Market
This is the market where the film's opening scene takes place; Tony Leung gets a little confused and needs the careful guidance of Stanley Fung to calm him and his large chopper down.
The God Of Cookery - Temple Street
Well, more specifically, the Temple Street Night Market, which is where Karen Mok et al are supposed to be based. This shot is taken from the roof of the Yau Ma Tei Car Park Building; not sure why I've never ventured up there to take a similar photograph...
Election - Very Good Tailor
Well, if it's good enough for big Tony Leung to get his suits from, then it must be very good.
Beast Cops - Seashore Spa
The Seashore Spa or, as it was in the film, The Seashore Palace Health Spa; where the film's opening scene / assassination takes place.
