Where was Fallen Angels filmed?
- Hong Kong, China, Hong Kong – Opening sequences with neon-lit streets and nighttime urban landscapes establishing the film's aesthetic. The vibrant neon-soaked streets of Hong Kong's Central District became iconic in Wong Kar-Wai's signature visual style, with heavy use of practical lighting and night shooting
- Hong Kong, China, Hong Kong – Extended sequences of the protagonists navigating through densely packed urban neighborhoods and backstreets. Wan Chai's narrow alleyways and crowded street scenes provided the claustrophobic, intimate urban environment central to the film's romantic and noir atmosphere
- Hong Kong, China, Hong Kong – Key scenes of characters moving through the entertainment district with neon signage and late-night atmosphere. The famous red-light district street served as a primary location for Wong Kar-Wai's exploration of urban nightlife and visual experimentation with color and light
- Hong Kong, China, Hong Kong – Scenes of characters on the tram and elevated vantage points overlooking the city. The iconic Peak Tram provided a contrasting perspective to the street-level chaos, offering moments of visual clarity and emotional pause in the film's frenetic narrative
