Some facts to check with Wang Han's ??(1) bio

Postby heinz Germany » Wed Jun 17, 2020 7:46 am

Recently "stumbled over" actor ??(1) Wang Han (listed with Cntonese Name Wong Hon)
Found 2 movies in his bio which seem possibly double (if they are not sequel/prequel):
http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
The Marine and I (1981) and The Captain and I (1981) the last one only had 3 actors as entry and no crew.
From http://app2.atmovies.com.tw/film/cast/fGcmb4040220/ I added some crew/cast but it seems that
the credit ??? is wrong and the APP2 credit ??? looks more convincing to me.
If so, then Josephine Siao is most probably wrong in "The Marine..." too.

Second I am not sure if director/writer ??? Lee Wai-Kei is the same person 1981 and 1996 + 2000 credits
because HKFA splits them (OK, that happen many times)

I suspect ???? was the working title and ???? was the release title.

Taiwan Movie DB lists them as 2 different movies - http://app2.atmovies.com.tw/film/fCcmb4041971/ and http://app2.atmovies.com.tw/film/fGcmb4040220/

According to this page - http://suling213.blogspot.com/2013/06/1981.html
"The Marine and I" (????) is a sequel to "The Captain and I" (????). Also it says that "The Marine and I" was a big flop in the box-office.

If you look at the poster that dleedlee uploaded - http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail ... ay_set=eng
it is written there (from right to left):
????
???
????


that means:
"The Marine and I"
first part
"The Captain and I"

Good catch!
And to further corroborate, they are listed as separate titles under Charlie Chin's credits:
