The alleyway from PTU
submitted by Ryan Passmore
Reader Ryan Passmore submitted this shot he took of
an alley off Queen's Road in Central (near the Tourist
Information Centre). Ryan states that he is 95% sure
it's the same alley that Lam Suet lost his gun in
during the early minutes of Johnnie To's PTU.
We tend to agree.

<< A scene
from PTU. It seems that Ryan's picture
was taken farther down the alley than this screenshot
was, though the similar architecture and layout
seems to suggest we have a match. |

<< Another
scene from PTU. While the screenshot is
again more shallow than Ryan's picture, the tiling
on the floor seems to be the same. Nice find,
Ryan! |

Bangkok Chinatown
from
The Legend
of Speed
submitted by Daniel Lavoie
Reader Daniel Lavoie submitted this picture, which
doesn't qualify as Hong Kong, but certainly is a distinctive
location from a Hong Kong film. In this case, the
flick is the kickass Ekin Cheng street racing flick
The Legend of Speed. In the featured sequence,
Sky (Cheng) has just checked into a Bangkok hotel
in search of his long-lost dad (Blackie Ko). The location
is also featured in a sequence where Cheng stabs Moses
Chan Ho with an AIDS-infected syringe, but we've decided
not to take screenshots of that part.

Actual
shots from the film, which show the same signs
and buildings. We also get fine views of Ekin
Cheng's magnificent, god-like hair.
