Address: 4716 Choi Hung Road, San Po Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, near an amusement park and across from Wong Tai Sin District Police Headquarters. While I believe the location marker is accurate, locals could help if it needed improvement. There is a flicker photo (source below) showing the amusement park, Choi Hung Road and the nullah.
Metropole Theatre operated during the period January 31, 1965 - November 1, 1982.
There was another located in North Point, Hong Kong Island also called Metropole but with a different Chinese name 都城戲院. Its discussion is in a separate page: https://gwulo.com/node/36986
