If somebody can confirm his credit in "The Professionals", let me know...

[dleedlee]

I was the one who included him in the cast based on the WebPac information. Perhaps, Michael can confirm he is in it. He said he was going to pick up the vcd. I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize a young Yuen Woo Ping and there are a lot of thugs in the picture. Ciakmull's screen captures are no longer available, don't know whether it was listed or not for a small role like that.

Split again Peter Kam Pau-Tat and CAM (Sing Gung Chong).

In the credits of "Hot War" they appear as different people.
I am sure they are somehow related but I prefer to wait to find more clues.

Sorry!
