Complete movie credits for The Kingdom of Mob

Note: by reading the opening credits, it seems a few "Alan Smithees" were involved. And when it comes to the director, you'll notice no one else than Elvis himself is behind this flick. :shock:

You know, I've always kinda liked this movie, and not just for Pang Dan's deleriously short cop skirts, but I've always wondered why the main creators chose weird aliases for their English names. The movie deals with issues that, if I recall correctly, were either based on or loosely based on incidents that could have happened or did happen in real life. The funny name business makes you think the filmmakers wanted to remain anonymous, as though perhaps they knew they were actually representing real life crooks and criminals who might vow revenge, which made me wonder if the Chinese names weren't made up too (Mr. "Fifteen" seems to be similar to the Chinese name also). The whole use of bogus names The King and Green Face or whatever his name was has always intrigued me. Perhaps they were just havin' a laugh?

I can't figure out the use of those silly aliases here as well.
If someone uses an alias in a Western film, it's mostly because of the intuition: "Oh my, what a bulls**t I'm doing here!". "Kingdom oM" is a low class HK film as hundreds of others of it's kind, and nobody in there would have had the idea to hide his / her name just because of the fact the movie is bad. I'd except this for a reason here. Criminal background? Just makin' fun? Guess we'll never know.
PS: Oh yes, I liked the skimpy skirts of the ladies as you did.
PPS: Added a few role names (English only).
