It's a bunch of mess in my limited experience. Like Hollywood in the pre-union period, extra actors/actresses in the Kung Fu/Shaw decade are always missing in credits. For later on, I just checked my home-video supply.
Here is most of the situation.
1.only main and supporting actors.
2. using "Associate Performers"-"????" to extras.
3. using "Acting"-“??” to extras.
4. using "Joined Performance"-"????" to extras.
5. simply "performer"-“??” Once for all.
6. using "co-performers"-"??" to extras and supporting actors mixed up.
The list goes on and on.
And Later, later on, in the Mainland-Hong Kong cooperate period, credits also follow mainland habits by calling them “????” or“ ????”, From now on they stopped imaging new words. So this is my most recommended. But it depends on everyone here.
