Cheetah on Fire - Observatory Road

Cheetah on Fire contains a short scene which was filmed on the steep Observatory Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. By the way, a fight scene with Cynthia Rothrock, Mang Hoi and Hsiao Ho (Cynthia's double) for the film Blonde Fury was shot three years earlier at the same location.

In the Line of Duty 4 - Jardine House

Nothing more than a evening car explosion in Central Hong Kong. You will probably remember this location from Twin Dragons that was shot 2 years after this one. Due to its circular windows, Jardine House is one of the most easily recognizable buildings in town.

SPL - Hilton Towers

Godfather Sammo Hung demonstrating his street credibility in front of Donnie Yen and Simon Yam. Sammo comes out of the Hilton Towers for a spontanious display of power.
My last location post about Mercenaries from Hong Kong shows the same pedestrian zone near the south-west entrance of the Hilton Towers in Tsim Sha Tsui East.








Flash Point - St. Teresa's Hospital

St. Teresa's Hospital is located at Prince Edward Road West in the Kowloon City District of Kowloon. It was founded in 1940 by the sisters of St. Paul's Hospital (Causeway Bay).


Flash Point - Eastern Street

Donnie Yen chasing Xing Yu down Eastern Street. You will probably recognise this filming location from the rickshaw race in Knock Off.


Shanghai Knights - Palacký Bridge, Prague

The Palacký Bridge (1876) is one of the oldest bridges over the Vltava River in Prague. In Shanghai Knights it doubles for the Westminster Bridge next to the Houses of Parliament in London.













The Queen of England's loge was also built next to the Palacký Bridge. Unfortunately, the location is hard to identify because the intricate set design masks all its original characteristics.



Luckily, I stumbled upon a picture of the set construction which gives away its exact location. 


Shanghai Knights - Terezín, Riding Hall

Terezín's spacious riding hall (Jízdárna Terezín) provides the perfect setting for the wharf sequence. The imperial romantic style hall was built in the 1860s and features an elaborate wooden ceiling structure.
The North Bohemian town of Terezín (also known as Theresienstadt) is located approximately one hour's drive from Prague.









SPL - Sheung Yuet Road

The Donnie Yen vs. Wu Jing alleyway location, unfortunately without the catchy turquoise/blue lighting.
