Postman Strikes Back [1982] - update

[J.J.Hayden]

When it came to looking into Eddy Ko's name of Ha Yo-sim in Postman Strikes Back I decided to give the whole film a look over, as I had heard it was shot entirely in Korea yet I didn't see any Korean cast members (except Kook Jeong-sook) on the HKMDB. I managed to spot several of them including Jang Il-do (Bruce Lai) but only in small roles, Jang doesn't even get a fight scene, I assume they get more to do in the Korean cut. It's a shame that not all the Korean cast appear in the HK version, as I'm stuck when it comes to IDing Yang Yeong-moon, I've got two people in Return Of Red Tiger that he could be, but for now which one will have to remain a mystery So I've updated the info, added some pics and I even spotted previously ID'd actors in several other roles so I updated them too.
