I had been meaning to do full updates for these films, going through them again to get better quality images of the actors, but since the BluRays are meant to be getting a release soon (yes, December has been, but hopefully they are coming soon), I'll just use these for now. A few very old pics (most from before I was even recruited to the HKMDB), so they're not to my current standard, but they'll do as place holders.
I added Thunder Kids 4: Little Kickboxer to the database. I'm surprised that it wasn't on here already, it's one that kinda slipped under the radar for many, which is a shame because in terms of action I'd say it's the best of the Thunder Kids series, with the exception of Golden Adventure of course
It is actually a cut&paste film, the bulk of the footage is from the Korean Karate Kid homage, Korean Boy. It features great kicking action from fan favourites such as Kwon Seong-yeong, Yoo Chang-guk and The Scorpion King himself, Won Jin. But it's young star Kim Jin-soo that really steals the show, he had the looks and the moves and he did feature in several TV movies, but he never became the star he could've been if he was born 10 years earlier.
But the film also has scenes from a Thai film (that I've not been able to ID), they are so brief and uninteresting I think most people didn't even notice them
The credits are mostly nonsense, the only cast member I can be for sure on the English name is Sean Lee for Kim Jin-soo as he's the film's star. Most of the crew I left off as it's clearly made up, as no new footage was filmed. But I did add the ones that seemed to be real: producer Tomas Tang; English dubbing Patrick Joachim; music & effects Sherman Chow Kam Cheung; associate producer Dallie Yeung; production company Filmark International Ltd.; copyright 1992.
There were two others I wasn't sure if I should add as I think they might be Godfrey Ho, but not 100%. Screenplay Carmel Johnson, presumably the Eng screenplay was done by someone, would it just be GH? Then there's Herbert Lam, which I fist assumed was GH, but Lam is how you would transliterate Im (or Lim) from Korean, so Herbert Lam might refer to the director of Korean Boy, Im Seon (who is credited as the director on the IFD webpage), though he obviously didn't direct the Thai footage which is used. Thoughts anyone?
I only added a few cast members for now, obviously I will come back to it once the BluRays become available. Quite a few of the actors in this update needed pages created as this was their 1st entry on the HKMDB.

Along with creating a new page for Thunder Kids 4 I also added some new ID's and other pics for Thunder Kids 1+2 which already had pages, some of the actors needed new pages though.
