Call Me Dragon - Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall
Here comes another blurry Call Me Dragon location. I searched this place because I've seen it in Drunken Master (1978). Later, I recognized it in several movies from the late 70s. Ng See-Yuen's Call Me Dragon (1973) is the oldest martial arts film I know that was shot at Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall.
Call Me Dragon - Chapel of St. Francis Xavier
Macau 1973, Bruce Leung Siu-Lung and Yasuaki Kurata clarify their differences in front of the picturesque Chapel of St. Francis Xavier. They even fight their way up to the building's roof. Sorry for the washed-out quality of the screenshots, some cinematic milestones just don't get the 4K Blu Ray release they deserve.
The Kiss of Death - Statue Square
After the brief sequence in Tsim Sha Tsui, the story relocates to Statue Square on Hong Kong Island, looking south toward the HSBC building. On film, we see the old HSBC building that has been torn down in 1978.
The Kiss of Death - Austin Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Shaw Brothers' Category III star Chen Ping in front of St. Mary's Canossian College at the junction of Austin Road and Chatham Road South.
Police Force - Prince Edward Road West
Thanks to the elevated segment of Waterloo Road and its massive concrete columns, there isn't much left of the untarnished view on St. Teresa's Church at Prince Edward Road West from 1973.
The Delinquent - The Peninsula Hong Kong
One of countless movie scenes showing the world famous high-class hotel at Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. This time, we can see it through the eyes of Shaw Brothers legend Chang Cheh.
Police Woman - Jardine House
This brief sequence from Police Woman (aka The Heroine aka The Young Tiger aka Rumble in Hong Kong) offers a nice screenshot of Jardine House from 1973 - its opening year.
Enter the Dragon - Muslim Cemetery
The Muslim Cemetery is part of the large-scale Hong Kong Cemetery.
It's worth visiting, even if you don't label yourself as a fanboy of Bruce Lee.

Enter the Dragon - Tsing Shan Monastery
The filming locations of Enter the Dragon are well-known, but I can't help posting my pictures as well. Visiting these cultic sites are unforgettable experiences for any die-hard devotee.
