If it was a movie theatre that you were talking about, I think it had been demoished for more than a decade ago. Was it on Fu Lo Tsuen Road? I couldn't even remember.
yes I was talking about the theatre, but exactly where I can't remember. I can only recall the last movie I saw was taking in early 80s, a Cantonese movie by Simon Yam and Kwan Hoi-shan.
BTW I managed to find a pic of the theatre from Google the other day and had posted it for sharing.
If this is the case, the theatre would be in the present day location of these few taller buildings. Probably not all the way through the bigger block though,
There is one interesting thing of the bigger block of building as it used to host the first high-tech cark park in Hong Kong. Something like a pre-curser of the type of Car Parks as seen in the movie Mission Impossible IV in a much smaller scale. That was a bit more than a decade ago. The parking system failed some time later and it ceased to operate.
From the Street View there is still a car park sign there. Don't know if the current car park service has anything to do with the one ten years before.

Kowloon City Building
This building is still around - on the corner of Hau Wong and Nga Tsin Wai Roads.

You can still see the angled part of the roof where the lights used to sit.
Kowloon City Building - Theatre
I remember there was a theatre in that neighbourhood that was painted light blue green, called 國際 International(?), am I right?
Can anyone post a picture please?
國際 - at Kowloon City
Hi there,
I believe the building had been demolished some time in 2012. StreetView captured it back in 2011 though.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Thanks for posting, but it looks like a residential building more than a theatre.

Hi T,
thanks for the information.
BTW, can you teach me how to post a picture and create a link in the message like what you did above? 'cause I am quite new to this website.
