My Lucky Stars: Added all of them (I think).
Also added the COSTUME DESIGNER.

It's a new name.

Also added most of the cast (5 new names), excepting 2 o 3 names that I was not able to see well enough because the "snow". :shock:

------------------------------------------

Paragon is the name of a subsidiary company of Golden Harvest. All the films directly produced by Golden Harvest have Paragon as copyright owner.

It's the similar case of Loew's, the subsidiary company from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1924 until the 60s. Loew's is credited as copyright owner, but nobody says "a Loew's film", but a "MGM film".

---------------------------------------------

Magnificent Butcher: Added most of them.
Added a new assist. action director who does not appear in the english translation but he does in the chinese credits.

Deleted writer Dang Geng San 鄧鏡新 from the credits and add the actual writer Edward Tang. I think somebody mistook his symbols. Now Dang Geng San does not have a single film and is alone in the dark. If anyone objects in 15 days , I will remove him from the Db.

I can not decipher the name of the Costume Designer... Sorry!

Project A: Added most of them.
Also the costume designer. It's a new name.
Also 2 of the 3 art directors (new names). I can not see well enough the chinese symbols of the 3rd one.
Also added the cinematographer and 1 assist. action director.

Posted: **Thu Aug 26, 2004 2:53 pm**

Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars: Added most of them.
This is the only one which had a costume designer yet in the Db.
I can not see well the symbols of one of the writers.

Posted: **Thu Aug 26, 2004 5:50 pm**

Young Master. Added most of them.
Also the costume designer. As always, is a new name. You may note that this designer is suspiciously similar to the costume designer of "Project A", but the last symbols are "clearly" different!
Jue Shing Hei 朱盛熹
Jue Shing Choi 朱盛喜

Maybe they are sisters, I don't know...

I hope Mr. Williamwan don't post a "merge suggestion"... :wink:

Posted: **Thu Aug 26, 2004 10:07 pm**

Rosa. Added all of them. (including the costume designer) (is one of the Jue family...)
Although I was not able to see correctly all the symbols in the end credits... Calros never fails!

Posted: **Fri Aug 27, 2004 9:30 am**

Enter the Fat Dragon. Added most of them.
I can not decipher the last symbol of the costume designer (13th photo, first name from the right )...

Including the Costume Designer, one of the Jue sisters...

Posted: **Fri Aug 27, 2004 6:29 pm**

King Swindler. Sorry!
I had a lot of problems doing this one.
Firstly I was not able to add the chinese title.
After this, I was not able to add new players nor several members of the crew (producer, editor, ...neither your costume designer, 蓋玲潤).
As I don't understand chinese I don't know if it's maybe the simplified chinese, or taiwanese dialect or something. The program says that these symbols do not exist or it change them to others.

I thinK that program must be made in Spain because IT DOES NOT WORK WELL. :cry:

After 2 hours fighting with the program I have desisted. Sorry! :cry:

Bandits From Shantung. Added most of them.
One more time, thanks for the credits of that classic.

It has been very useful, because I found the chinese symbols of the name that Sammo used to be credited in some films, 朱元龍 (Chu Yuen Lung) as this. It was also his first artistic name in the beginning of the 60s. Added in his Big5 data.
This name had been wrongly translated in the credits as "Chin Tai-cheng", and some sites in english say that this films has 2 action directors. Luckily I am very smart and almost immediately found the error

Well, in fact I needed one day to discover it.

Exorcist Master. Added all of them.
This has been very easy, because you forgot put the end credits, where there are the cinematographer, the composer, the COSTUME DESIGNER, etc.
We have very few data about this film... Also added the chinese symbols of the title.

Posted: **Sat Aug 28, 2004 12:08 pm**

Eastern Condors. Added most of them.
I can not see well the costume designer, because the photo is a little moved. (Is the photo of Sammo shooting the leaf)

Posted: **Sat Aug 28, 2004 2:28 pm**

Prodigal Son (1982). Added all of them, including Costumes.
Deleted Wong Jing as writer.
It is Barry Wong the writer, not Wong Jing.

The films has copyright date: (c) 1981 Paragon.
The Web says the real date of première of that film: 1981.12.22

If nobody objects in 15 days, I will change it.

Posted: **Sat Aug 28, 2004 6:04 pm**

Dragons Forever. Added most of them.
Sorry, I can not see well enought the first symbol of the costume designer...

Posted: **Sat Aug 28, 2004 6:52 pm**

The english credit for costume designer is ingrid kwan, hope it can help, or tell me which pic the costume is in i can remake it for better view maybe

Posted: **Sat Aug 28, 2004 8:25 pm**

It won't be necessary, because Kwan 關 was exactly the symbol which I was not able to glimpse.

Added the costume designer. Thanks!

Wheels on Meals. Added most of them, excepting...
Art director: blur image...(photo 11 and 12)Any clue?
Action directors: I CAN NOT FIND THE ACTION DIRECTORS CREDITS :shock:

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2004 9:57 am**

Dragon Lord. Added most of them,
excepting art dir. and costume des. I can not find them in the credits. :shock:

Also deleted Louis Sit. Mr. Sit does not appear anywhere in the credits, neither producer nor writer.
I checked it very well because I know that this man does an introduction in the DVD of "Dragon Lord" explaining some details of the movie...

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2004 10:00 am**

Owl Vs Bumbo. Added most of them.
Including the costume designer, Cheung Mei Ling 張美玲 (new girl here).

Crazy Partner. Added most of them (also your costumer). Changed a few.
I can not locate the cinematographer in your credits :shock:

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2004 4:04 pm**

Hapkido. Added all of them, excepting:
-art director and costume designer, because they do not appear in the credits.
-actor Teruo Yamane. I can not decipher its symbols.
-music composer. I only decipher 2 of his 3 symbols.黎 :?:

華. I can not decipher is 2nd. symbol. But I kept the photo in my Hard Disk to searching calmly later on...

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2004 4:33 pm**

Broken Oath. Sorry! I was not able to add one! :cry:

This film was very complete.
I have been 2 hours fighting with the writing credits. All the sites I saw said that the director of the film did also the script. But the credits say "clearly" written by 石剛 shih kang. I wanted to confirm that name in the net, but I don't find nothing about this man.

So, for the moment, I won't touch this credit. :roll:

Also, I can not decipher the second cinematographer. I will keep this photo in my HD and later on i will search more..

Posted: **Tue Aug 31, 2004 3:01 pm**

Hand of Death. Added 1. Changed 1. Sorry!!! :cry:

I can not decipher these symbols!!!!!!!!
They are written with the feet!

Posted: **Tue Aug 31, 2004 5:50 pm**

Blonde Fury.
Our credit list in the Db was very complete. I only had to add story, prod. manager and prod. company.

I think you mess up the order of your photos or something, Mr. Chinchanchung; I think there is lacking of some credits, including the costume designer...

Posted: **Tue Aug 31, 2004 8:21 pm**

Dreadnought. Added most of them (but not costumes)...
Although the credits were written with brush, I get several names, including story (Wong Jing), editor, photo., etc. One more time, Louis Sit did not write the script of that movie, he is only planner. It was the mysterious Yuen Woo Ping's "Peaceful Group" who did the script here. Thanks for your enlightening photos.

Posted: **Tue Aug 31, 2004 8:58 pm**

Armour of God. Added most of them, incl. costumes.

Posted: **Wed Sep 01, 2004 4:59 pm**

Carry On Hotel. A "Rare" film. Added all of them.
Or at least, they who where in your credits, because the writer and the art director do not appear in them.

Also added several actors more. I have a doubt: some of the new actors I added were the first credited in the movie. Is this movie a "choral film"?
:roll:

For the moment, I added them in the last credits of the Db... If you disagree, I can add them in the first positions...
