赤 柱市政大廈於2006年初落成，由政府斥資1億7千萬港元興建。大廈揉合了環保綠化、
寧靜空間的概念，是政府少見富時代感的建築。負責設計的建築署高級建 築師溫灼均
（Thomas Wan Chuck-kwan）表示﹕「我並不想把赤柱市政大廈設計得像一個盒子，
人們困在盒子裏活動，令人有侷促感，所以每一個設計都要仔細考慮，希望能給人一 種空間無限的感覺，在室內也像在室外一樣。」這座將人、大自然和社區融為一體的建築物，
更榮獲2006香港建築師學會的「全年建築大獎」。在電影《出埃及 記》中，市政大廈成了沙展
4332詹建業 (任達華 / Simon Yam) 當值的警署。

Location: The Shek O Health Centre, Shek O Rd, Shek O, Hong Kong 石澳健康院 Film:King of Comedy 喜劇之王 (1999) / Dir: Stephen Chow, Lee Lik-chi 周星馳，李力持
在 石澳巴士站右旁，豎立一個「石澳健康院」牌坊，從那裡往前走一分鐘，便會看見這座細小
的健康院。如有看過星爺的《喜劇之王》(King of Comedy)，應會對這裡有點兒印象，因這是戲
中的東區街坊福利會場景，戲痴尹天仇 (周星馳 / Stephen Chow) 曾在這裡教過柳飄飄
(Cecilia Cheung) 如何演活一個純情學生妹。健康院後是石澳後灘 (Rocky Bay Beach)，
尹亦曾在那裡教過田雞 (田啟文 / Tin Kai-man) 如何引用史坦尼斯拉夫斯基那「由外到內再到
外」的戲劇理論去演繹一個痛苦的表情。
The Shek O Health Centre is one minute walking distance from the Shek O bus stop. When facing the Shek O bus terminus, on your left hand side, there is a lane with and arch. Take the lane and walk for about one minute, until you see the health centre on your right (at the back of the school). If you walk pass the health centre, you'll reach the beach.
In King of Comedy, the health centre becomes the Eastern District Welfare Association where Wan Tin-Sau (Stephen Chow) teaches club girl Lau Piu-Piu (Cecilia Cheung) how to act as an innocent schoolgirl so as to better seduce customers and to make more money in her club. Behind the health centre, on the Rocky Bay Beach, Wan Tin-Sau also teaches Frog (Tin Kai-man) how to convey pain through facial expressions by referring to the "from outside to inside then back to outside" drama theory of Stanislavski.

Unfortunately they run into a tough gangster (Lee Siu-kei) here. This sequence in front of the temple is one of the most hilarious scenes from the movie.
