Added a photo gallery here.

Also discovered a possible merge in the process:

Chan Han
and
Chang Han

Same person??

The latter has only one film credit, and it's from Taiwan, where most of the former's movies were shot as well. Might need stronger verification than that, but the name spellings are somewhat similar.

Will post credits in Additions forum soon. :)

Turns out, Chan Han is Chang Chen's brother. They even played brothers in A Brighter Summer Day (and Chang Kuo-Chu is their real father -imdb). So, Chan Han s/b changed to Chang Han, besides which 'Chan' is a different character altogether anyway.

I think you are possibly right, that they are the same persons, just slightly different radicals in the two names. But,

A couple sites that support this:
http://taiwancinema.blogspot.com/1990/0 ... st_21.html
http://ent.163.com/06/1114/12/2VSV2M5A000322VS.html

Though, this one doesn't and searching the site below turns up both names, which implies they are different.

At the very least, it looks like we've got an unnecessary alternate Chinese character for Han in "Chang Han's" listing that is keeping these two separate when they should be merged, plus as you mentioned, a completely incorrect transliteration of his family name as Chan in the other listing.

Thank you sir! :D

Added Chan Han as an alias, just in case anyone still searches him by that spelling.
