added all crew credits (which was simple this time since they were same to Angry guest)
Why can't we bill those SB staff in Mandarin as they are allways billed and not in cantonese
(this would be much easier to add the credits) ???
Still there is one prominent Actor missing (Bang In Zi) I suppose it is the thai boxer who get's killed by Chung Pao (Mi Sai's big brother)

Looks like his chinese name is in the screenshot on the right side??

Bang In Za is in our DB, she is Fong Yan-Ji. Added her and 5 actors more, including Bolo.

If you want to change the names remember you have to post here your changes before.

To bill in Mandarin or Cantonese, that is the question. The eternal riddle when crediting HK movies.

If a cast or crew member spent all or most of their career in the period when Mandarin was the dominant screen language and/or with Shaw Brothers until they fell into decline, then listing them under the Mandarin name is quite okay.

Things become less clear with people who had long careers, only part of which was spent in these periods. Some became famous during this period but made many appearances after e.g. Ku Feng / Guk Fung

The main problem is that each name has to be individually changed, and the Cantonese name *MUST* be entered as an alias. This is for the benefit of many users, myself included, who learned Cantonese with the aid of hkmdb, and know these people only by their Cantonese names.

(Bob, is there any easy way to include a feature which allows the primary name to be changed, whilst automatically pushing the Cantonese / former main name into the Alias field ?)

This is a huge task.

Heinz, if you wish to change the names this way, please go ahead, providing as calros says, such changes of primary name are also notified here on the forum.

The problem is that the engine does not provide the "standard" cantonese name for most of the names.

The engine offers "Jeng" instead of "Cheng", "Faat" instead of "Fat", "Bo" instead of "Po", "Dyi" instead of "Ti", "Gin" instead of "Kin", "Gwaan" instead of "Kwan" etc etc etc

Deleted the cast you added to "Duel of Fists".
The cast list image is from the opening titles of "Angry Guest" and not "Duel of Fists".
Someone must move the image to the correct place.

Sorry. Mr. Germany deceived me.
