Central
At 33 Garden Road, St. John's Building is surrounded by busy streets and is the location of the Central Peak Tram terminal. The building itself is easily distinguished by its rounded corners and retro space age window design. The building was completed in 1983, and so naturally appears in this 1984 movie.
Lau Ching Wan disguises himself as a Filipino and tries selling some products in Central on Sunday, when all the parks and plazas are filled to the brim with Filipino women, mostly employed as domestic help, and with Sunday as their only day off. It's a well known event in the guidebooks, but this is the first time I've seen it in a movie.
The climactic confrontation between Angelica Lee, Karen Lam, and the mysterious kidney thief takes place in the public toilet at the corner of Wellington Street and Queen's Road Central. It is below ground, a flight of stairs leads down to it. MTR: Sheung Wan, Exit E2.
McDull: The Alumni is about graduating from school and becoming a pillar of society. The tallest building in Hong Kong at the time of the film's release, Two IFC represents another kind of "pillar", rising majestically into the sky, and inside its offices the Alumni of the title gather, work, and fight. The very first live action (as opposed to animated) sequence occurs outside Two IFC, and the film concludes here as well. IFC stands for "International Finance Center." In addition to housing offices, the complex also houses a theater, shopping mall, and the Four Seasons Hotel. A short walk from the Star Ferry Terminal. MTR: Hong Kong Station.
