I was thumbing thru my stuff on this rare old Ng See Yuen title 'Anti-Corruption':

and correct me if I'm wrong, someone may have 'Cantonized' William J. Lake's name as 'Bei Lik-Kei' when ahem, you guys already have him represented as 'Bill Lake', if so please pow-wow & fix on Mr Lake's behalf. I know there's not much out there in cyberspace on this title like w/the Shaw/Hammers but also noticed that you've only IDed 2 of the 3 significant British cast members ('Jim James' & 'Tony Probye' noticebly missing) from this topical law enforcement drama with a gweilao rich cast:

...so you now can ID the rest using this May 75 Cinemart scan (though this entire spread appears to be so half-baked yet somehow was cleared for print, sloppy!) Also if you editors familiar with Commonwealth actors from that era can put your heads together to ID the other European actors in this I'll be super-impressed & thankful (because I sure couldn't & this DB will be the first that I know of who can!). Cheers. :)

I absolutely must see this movie! :D

In the meantime, I removed the "08/21/96" release date from the DB entry for this one. I've been seeing a lot of that lately for older films that no one's checked in on in awhile. Ahhh, the joy of using one film's template to make a listing for another... :(

Haven't visited this listing lately but I recall the HKFA catalog has this one listed with its proper release date so you can replace.

Done. Added box-office as well.

I found the original NTSC VHS in the Chinatown of Paris 10 years ago. I remembered "Anti-Corruption" as a very good movie. I need to watch it again. I've just upload one picture from this VHS. I'll upload captures of the movie later this week.
