Hello all, hope it's as sunny for you as it is here.

A friend of mine on the KFF has been researching the film Dinosaur Fights Against Cosmic-Men [1969] and is organising some info that can be added to the HKMDB for it. But he also suspects that there is a duplicate page for it on the HKMDB under the title of Dragon Prince [1969]. Having a quick look over the data, it seems the he is correct and that these pages should be merged. If nobody can present any information that counters this theory, I will merge the pages in the next few weeks.

龍王子 Dragon Prince:
I don't have this movie, but I found a Taiwanese release date (February 7, 1969) and a Taiwanese newspaper ad that looks more clear than the HK newspaper ad. Just like "Cosmic Men", it confirms a Gorilla/KingKong, a dinosaur, and a boy with same weapon and clothing.


神龍大戰宇宙人 Dinosaur Fights Against Cosmic-Men:
(re-)Released in Taiwan, on December 19, 1970, newspaper advertisement shows the same images like the poster in HKMDB:


Both ads show the smiling male actor (Wu Chia-Chi?) in the exact same pose, another sign that both are from the same movie.

Obviously the chinese Alias of actor 野村光徳 Nomura Mitsunori:

高金福 Kao Chin-Fu:

Probably another Chinese Alias of a Japanese actor, but I don't know who (because Chinese Aliases of Japanese actors often contain a 福). The "Music" credits probably belong to someone else.

Awesome stuff, thanks for the additional info. I had noticed that the posters/ads from both films shared quite a few things, but these make it all the more clear.

Thank you for confirming that Fang Kuang-te is an alias for Nomura, I was pretty sure myself, just waiting for more info. I too suspected that Kao Chin-fu is likely an alias for another Japanese actor, due to these two films being their only credits, as I also believe that there are two Kao Chin-fu's, the one in this films, and another that does music, this would explain the 10yr gap and change in career

I may have to make some time to go through the Japanese names (where possible) and see if any have some matching kanji, like with Nomura.

Thanks again.
