Save the Star Ferry Pier in Hong Kong. It's an important landmark in Hong Kong for the last 48 years which was a reason why it was featured in the movie (see clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQejWDODMeU).

The government is going to knock down the pier for a highway and a shopping mall. Fans of this movie will never get to see the real thing anymore!

this from their website:

Starting from 12 November 2006, due to the pier relocation for Central Reclamation Phase III, Star Ferry continues its ferry services at the Central Star Ferry Piers (Central Pier No. 7 & the western berth of the Central Pier No. 8). The Central Star Ferry Piers with its elegant clock tower is the re-creation of a distinctive building reinforcing the history and character of the Star Ferry with its identity as an important landmark at the new waterfront in Central.
