Updated the page for The Secret Rivals, most notably adding some missing cast members, and removed one: Kim Kwang-il as this was actually the credit belonging to Nam Po-dong, but used his birth name of Kim Kwang-il. I believe I've ID'd the Chinese stuntmen correctly, but please feel free to look it over and let me know if you think there might be a mistake. The Secret Rivals was one I'd started work on a little while ago but it got put on hold (like so many things :wink: ), but I thought I'd do it now as a little test, to see which method feels better to me, updating by film or by person.

I think the test proves to me that I was right in my assumption and that it'll probably be easier for me to go by person rather than by film. But I will go by film from time to time, and I'm thinking of using some films as a sort of template for working though a few actors, Kwangdong Viper is a good example as it has so many of the top names in it.

Starting with two of the top guys Hwang Choon-soo and Park Hui-jin (who actually feature in this The Secret Rivals so I've technically already started :P ) which I will upload shortly.

Cheers

1) Not Hon Kwok-Choi:

2) Not Richard Cheung Kuen (the group image with him is correct):

(is To Wai-Wo - maybe the actors changed during the fight)

3) Not Tong Kam-Tong:

1) This was the one I was least sure on, it does look a lot like him though.

2) I just went back and watched the footage and I think you're right about him switching out during the fight. I think you're also right about this shot actually being To Wai-wo, annoying as this was the best close up I could get :P . Nice work.

3) I'm not as certain with this one, but he's not an actor I'm very familiar with, so I'll deffer to you on this one too.


I'll make the corrections as stated by Michael.
Cheers for the help.
