Wrong ID of Matsuzaka Hiroko

Postby yukabacera » Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:55 pm

Many years ago, this actress from Behind the Pink Door:
Image was identified as Matsuzaka Hiroko (http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=10840)
Some doubt about this was raised on the Kung Fu Fandom forum in 2011: https://www.36styles.com/kungfufandom/t ... anslation/
One of our editors, Gaijin84, also participated in the discussion, and called the ID in question on here as well: viewtopic.php?t=38346 Namely, the issue is that the HKFA identified the character in the portrait above as ???, played by Lam Lei-hung (http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=10839) Note the similarity of the two names.

While I was adding role names to The Raping Murderer, another movie in which both Matsuzaka Hiroko and Lam Lei-hung are credited, I noticed that the character played by this actress (currently identified as Matsuzaka Hiroko):

plays a character called Lin Li Hung (???)... exactly the same as Lam Lei-hung's name. I don't know what the initial ID of Matsuzaka Hiroko was based on, but taking into account the HKFA's data, and the similarity of the character names (several other characters in The Raping Murderer have names similar to the names of the actors, too) in both films, I think we should change the ID of the actress in those portraits to Lam Lei-hung. I'll try and look into a possible ID for the real Matsuzaka Hiroko.

Agreed. Excellent sleuthing.

(As an aside - as I have stated, from an editor policy perspective, it is important to adhere to the "preponderance of the evidence from multiple non-primary sources" concept when primary source information is unavailable...as well as an understanding that the HKFA is "good" but is not a primary source. yukabacera has done just that, and it serves as a good example -> "taking into account the HKFA's data, and the similarity of the character names". )

Good find.

Corrected the wrong ID (was possibly even my old mistake because I added the images to RAPING MURDERER long time ago)
