The courthouse where Chitty Wan (played by Moon Lee) is sentenced to three years in prison for manslaughter. The Former South Kowloon Magistracy is listed as a Grade I historic building, by definition it is one of the "outstanding merits of which every effort should be made to preserve if possible". Certainly not least because of its lively history. Constructed in 1933, less than a decade later it served as the headquarters of the Japanese military police ("Kenpeitai") during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.
