Screen capture from The Killer (1989) showing a property located along Lookout Link in Tai Po Kau.
I'm interested in any information. This was located next to another property called "Hei Yuen" on older maps. Both properties were redeveloped in the early 1990s into today's "Villa Costa".

The Killer's house
I only know this house is Chu Kong's house where Chow Yun Fat and Sally Yeh were hiding in the movie, The Killer (喋血雙雄).

Yes, I had specifically mentioned that it was a screen capture from that film. Thanks.
House for Plover Cove Engineer
If I recall ( and trusting my memory is always a leap of faith ) this house might well have been the house built for Bill Cutting, the chief resident engineer on the Plover Cove Scheme. When the project was finished the house was used as government quarters. I vaguely remember repairing a boat for Bill in the carport. No doubt there are official govt records somewhere.

many thanks palfreeman, I was hoping someone like yourself would be able to shed some more light on the place. Do you have any memories of the neighbouring property as well, "Hei Yuen"?

Sorry, I have only just spotted your question.
I am not sure which building was Hei Yuen, however Oswald Cheung QC lived in a house very close. As did the family who were partners in the Radio People - a very upmarket provider of audio equipment.
Oswald Cheung's house was built privately by himself. Separate to the engineer's house which was government.
Hei Yuen
Thanks for getting back.
Hei Yuen was the neighbouring house, you can see it on the map here: https://gwulo.com/media/44639

so Hei Yuen would have been Oswald Cheung's house. The Radio People lived in the same house after him. Their son went to DBS and I would meet him on the train going home from school.

Many thanks, that's great to know. A little bit more of the history is revealed. Now I just have to track down an image.
