Frankie Ng Chi Hung and "Chi Hung" same person!

Just noticed this as I was browsing the entry for STREETS OF FURY, which, incidentally, I believe should actually be STREET OF FURY as that's the only English title I've seen on packages and on-screen on the DVD I have.

Additionally, the producers are listed on screen as "Siu Kei" and "Chi Hung." The database lists "LEE Siu Kei" and "Chi Hung" as producers. Given that these two guys appear together in practically every Hong Kong triad movie ever made in the last fifteen years, and have produced a number of them together and apart, I very, VERY strongly suspect that "Chi Hung" is, in fact, Frankie Ng Chi-hung. The database listing for "Chi Hung" list him as acting in WALK-IN and YOUNG & DANGEROUS V, both of which feature Frankie Ng Chi-hung in prominent roles. Perhaps these guys flirt with aliases because they're triads in real life, or assume everyone knows them by their given names? Not sure, but I think it would be safe to merge these into Frankie's database entry. Perhaps others can confirm?

About the title: checked:

and changed.

About the alias:
Very interesting suggestion! 8)
I think the editor who added the data of "Young And Dangerous V" noticed Frankie appeared in the movie, and listed him with his role. But later somebody saw "Chi Hung" in the credits and added him, too. (WebPAC only listed Chi Hung")
So, if nobody stops me in 15 days, I will merge them.

Probably one of my favourite triad movie posters. The movie, in my opinion, is rather weak, although one can't fail to be moved by a bald, topless Teresa Mak.
