Checked and added 5 of them. Not sure about the rest. I do not know if he was credited in any movie as Rubberlegs or Silver Fox.

Rubberlegs and Silver Fox are just things that kung fu fans might call him (if they didn't know his real name, or wanted to sound 'hip') :p
I don't think they should be in the DB personally.

I agree - that should probably go in the Biography section

Frequently the character names are not actual (literal or otherwise) translations of the actual Chinese character names, but rather are simply made up by the subtitlers/dubbers and sometimes are different between various dubbings/subtitlings. This can be extremely confusing, and can lead to problems with the DB credits.
And by the way, editors and members, DO NOT EVER use imdb.com as a primary source of information for HKMDB. Use it as a pointer or for general guidelines, but do not use it as a primary source.

I agree that you shouldn't use the IMDB for Hong Kong Cinema; use the HKMDB!
Did forget the movie but once HJL was credited as 'Silver fox' for the martial direction.
Thought 'Rubberlegs' was also used for John Liu Chung Liang.

On a related note, should we really have "The Postman" as an alias for Leung Kar Yan? I'd definitely accept Beardy, 'cause I've called him that many times myself :p But "The Postman" was just a character he played...

If a name is on the credits (even if these are not the original ones) or in an article, perhaps someone wants to know who's behind that name. Would be nice if he could find out!

True - could be useful to someone to have it...
