Kowloon inspired Gridlock (and a few other sets) but Kowloon had long been demolished by then for being a den of iniquity and organized (and disorganized, too) crime. It was the sort of place people went into and never came out of, especially if you worked in law enforcement or were a remotely attractive female.
It is an absolute mind fuck that this place was allowed to exist in the first place in what was at the time a British coloney and the hub of international finance. Whenever you see a distopian cyberpunk, or somewhat grotty vision of urban future in sci-fi its always based on Kowloon, even if the person making it is just basing it off other films.
