Wong Kar Wai's Hong Chung King Kong Express (part 2)....
Star Ferry crossing.
Best we begin our second post with Agent Rob and his Bond girl taking the quick and cheap journey by Star Ferryacross to Central District. From there the first stop is Lan Kwai Fong (map later), home to the famous Midnight Express.... Or what used to be....
Midnight Express, now a 7-Eleven.
Midnight Express (from CE).
Just merge this and the above in your mind (from CE).
Another stop in the film (and one I passed without truly knowing it) is the California Restaurant which is part of a block that has since been redeveloped - more info. here - Street View from July 2011 shows this in progress along D'Aguilar Street....
The California Tower/Entertainment Building, Street View.
We know how you feel, Tony....
The Midnight Express/7-Eleven is pretty much bang on the corner where the Lan Kwai Fong 'flag' is on the map, and you can see D'Aguilar Street runs alongside.
Lan Kwai Fong.
The final stop on our trip will be the Mid-levels Escalators. Please enjoy some OST action in the meantime....
