This is a placeholder for general information about Hong Kong Island.

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.

On her first day, rookie Joey Yung calls in a lost car that Eason Chan is merely admiring, right outside the Wanchai Station, exit C. The Makati Pub & Disco is visible across Lockhart road, a disco that comes at least moderately recommended according to most online sources. MTR: Wan Chai.

Rookie cop Joey Yung helps an old lady push her cart of trash up Wan Chai Gap Road, right next to the old Wan Chai Post Office (221 Queen's Road East), which is now an "Environmental Resource Center." He follows her, and where the road turns, stops and calls out to "be careful."

Rookie Joey Jung meets handsome "Officer Koo" (Alex Fong) outside Queen Elizabeth Stadium (18 Oi Kwan Road), where a boy got injured by a car. They are treating the child just outside the Morrison Hill Road playground. It's right where Queen's Road East ends at Morrison Hill Road.

Eason Chan and Joey Yung come across a man stealing metal grates and manhole covers and chase him up Ship Street, a street of steep granite stairs. Construction beams have been erected at the time of shooting, this may be to support upcoming renovations to the street that will flesh out its nautical theme in the hopes that the street will become something of a tourist destination.

Francis Ng Steps on Eason Chan's foot, causing him some pain, then they chat for a moment, right outside the historic Woo Cheong Pawn Shop, on the corner of Johnston Road and Tai Wong Street East. The building is over eighty years old, and though common at one time, very few of its type survive today.

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.

Tony Leung and Sammi Cheng go on a first date to one of the restaurants in the Murray House in Stanley. An interesting building with a long history, originally built in Central but then dismantled in the eighties and rebuilt in Stanley and opened in 2000. Not sure which restaurant specifically they ate at. The Murray house is at the end of Stanley Main Street.

Meant to be a somewhat historical piece, external locations look mostly like large set pieces or are well disguised. One scene, however, takes place on Cheung On Lane. Ruth Winona Tao spies a drug dealer that threatened her previously, walking down Centre Street between Third and High Streets. She turns and follows him on to Cheung On Lane. He kicks her out onto the road, she is saved by cop David Wu, and the baddies make their escape.

Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung share a meal together in the vintage style Goldfinch Restaurant in Causeway Bay. At 13-15 Lan Fong Road. MTR: Causeway Bay, Exit F. Confusingly, signs outside the restaurant also call it "Cafe de Goldfinch" and less prosaic "The House of Steak."

The Police Cadet school seen in Infernal Affairs, where Shawn Yue and Edison Chen trained together, is actually the Lei Yue Mun Holiday Village. Used to be a barracks, now it is a "Holiday Camp," offering "Leisure Services for Local Residents." Interestingly, it also housed the Amoy Garden block E residents in isolation during the SARS outbreak, where they were observed for signs of the illness and kept away from the rest of the population. Perhaps, this is not a selling point, which is why this fact is omitted from the Leisure Services website about the camp. Booking information, if you want to spend the night, is at the site linked above, as is detailed transport instructions. MTR: Shau Kei Wan.

The Andy Lau - Tony Leung confrontation takes place at the top of the North Point Government Offices Building at 333 Java Road, which was completed in 1998. Access to the roof seems unlikely, alas. MTR: Quarry Bay.

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.

The bad guys (Daniel Wu, Terence Yip, & etc.) jump off of the Harbour Building in Sheung Wan on BMX bikes and land on the Connaught Road Central footbridge. MTR: Sheung Wan, exit E4.

Jackie Chan has his final confrontation against the villains in the Hong Kong Convention Center Extension -- first in the lobby, where balconies several stories up overlook the main entrance (and therefore make excellent sniper lookouts), then on the sloping, dramatic roof. See if you can spot a table up there when you look around, somehow one was just sitting on the roof for Jackie and Daniel Wu's faceoff at the end of the picture. MTR: Wan Chai, Exit A1, then walk using the elevated walkway to Harbour Road.
