Just browsing the entry for ACES GO PLACES II http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=6451&display_set=eng and noticed the absence of Joe Dimmick as Filthy Harry in this film. I believe he is credited in the movie, though the credit may actually appear in the international MAD MISSION version rather than the HK edition. I've got both, but can't access them at the moment and can't post screenshots just yet. Dimmick revived his Clint Eastwood schtick in Mel Brooks' ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS twelve years later, where he's definitely credited correctly. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227431/

Joe Dimmick is not credited on the HK Universe DVD, only western actors credited is the ones already listed in the cast, Glen Thomson, Kate James and Robert Simper.

Guess I'll have to check my Anchor Bay MAD MISSION disc, or maybe even the old VHS I've got floating around, 'cause it's definitely him (I remember comparing images a few months ago when i was transferring an old ROBIN HOOD MIT laserdisc to DVD-R. Maybe he just wasn't credited at all, like so many unfortunate caucasians in those days, or perhaps he used an alias, though I couldn't imagine why.

Chap's got a website too (although the music's brutal). He runs a company called Dimmick's Doubles. According to his bio, the company even produced a 1987 spoof called FILTHY HARRY. Coincidence?

Dredging this up because I noticed Bearserk's updated gallery for ACES GO PLACES II now links Robert Simper to the picture of Filthy Harry (the Clint Eastwood-like character in the film). Just curious how this connection was made? IMDB, reliable as ever, lists Simper as a motorcycle stuntman on the film, but still lists Joe Dimmick as Filthy Harry, as do several other sites (probably incorrectly, I know!). Simper does indeed seem to have many stunt-related credits to his name, as well as a few non-descript acting parts in well-known movies and TV shows, so it seems reasonable that he might have been given the villain part in ACES—especially since he IS credited and the part IS substantial), but I just wish I knew what he looked like from other appearances :

I have Mad Max 3 on VHS where he plays one of Aunty's Guards, so I can check against that, will probably have to wait until Sunday though, a bit swamped as it is
See if I can get hold of The Punisher also where he has a much easier role to check him against.
