Faan Daan

[bkasten]

Any ideas why this Faan Daan film may be listed as 1992?

It says the theatrical run was 1995, and I believe it was indeed 1995. Can anyone offer proof?

Also on the subject of Faan Daan, there is also this movie lacking an English title:

At the very least maybe we should have a translated alias?

I have the movie and I think 1992 is correct (or maybe 1991). The actors (as example Dion Lam) look like in other movies from that time. I have two reviews, one lists the movie 1991 and one 1992.
Maybe the movie started three years after production at the cinemas.

I think it's even from 1991. There was an old Universe Laserdisc under a different Chinese and English title (-> db) where the production year is stated as 1991 on the backcover.

I think Mr. Shiomi and Mr. Kistner are right. Maybe this film was made in 1991 and in 1995 they re-released a re-edition of the movie under a new name. WebPAC says they are two different movies.

I would change the year to 1991...
