Pretty sure the director of Rolls, Rolls, I Love You (1982) is not the armored car thief of Yes, Madam (1985), who is not Feng's Disciple in One Armed Swordsman (1967).

Exactly where it goes from there, I'm not sure.

Clearly the Kong Lung who appears in Long Arm Of The Law and Dragons Forever is the Kong Long who is in God Of Gamblers, The Big Heat and a number of other 80's action films - we have the portraits to prove it.

I suggest moving all acting credits from 1984 onwards from Kong Lung (1) to Kong Long as a start (both are credited in Yes Madam!, but it's Kong Long in the film).

I don’t know what is with the director credits, but I know that you are wrong with the comments on the actor credits.

It is me who made the IDs of Kong Lung (the martial arts actor, later character actor and no stuntman) and Kong Long (the stuntman) years ago and I made many of the cast additions for both (most of Kong Long’s acting credits).

Both are in “Yes Madam”, Kong Lung making a brief reprise of his “Long Arm” role and Kong Long with a brief appearance shoot in a car (without his usual moustache).

I’m convinced that it is always the same Kong Lung in “One Armed Swordsman” and other Shaw Brothers movies, “Long Arm”, “Dragons Forever” and martial arts movies like “Big Risk”.

No mistakes at Kong Long’s acting credits, it’s him in “Big Heat”, “God” and other movies and not Kong Lung from “Long”.

I had also my problems with the two actors a few years ago, but now I’m very familiar with them after seeing many movies with the two (uncredited and credited).

Please don’t touch their acting credits.

Hmmm, but aren't these are all the same person?

Kong Long

Kong Long

Kong Lung (1)

Kong Lung (1)


And isn't it the same person as:

Kong Long

Kong Long


(with a new haircut)?

[Michael Kistner]

First two images show Kong Long
Second and third Kong Lung
The last two images show Kong Long

I'm sure it is not the same person.

Kong Long has always small roles, often as extra/stuntman.

ok, they're starting to look less similar to me now too
