Kwan Fung = Kuan Tung?

Postby p.i.klein » Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:17 am

On the original trailer of 'Monkey Kung Fu' the pole fighter is credited as Kuan Tung. You got him credited as Kwan Fung. The characters (hanzirs, sinograms) are not the same. If Kwan Fung=Kuan Tung then you got the wrong characters for Kwan Fung. If you got the right characters for Kwan Fung, the the pole fighter isn't Kwan Fung, but Kuan Tung.

I got these credits on my own DB, perhaps you could add the roles to your DB. (I gave them to Heinz Germany, but I don't know if he has time to do it)

Ching Siu tung=Wei Chung
Hau Chiu Sing=second lead, gibbon pupil
Lam Fai Wong=Kung Fu teacher
Fong Ping (2)=brothel madam
Shum Lo=restaurant owner
Wong Mei Mei (2)= fights at the kung fu school
Wan Fat=fighter with grey hair
Chi Chi
Kwan Fung/Kuan Tung=Tung Hei Fung / Tung Jin Man / polefighter
Lee Chun Wai=blacksmith
Sham Chin Bo=pupil kung fu school
Wong Wing
Kong To Hoi=thug with bird cage
Wang Han Chen=chief warden
Baan Yun Sang=waiter
To Wai Wo=fights for Tung
Keung Hon=Kung fu teacher assistant
Mang Ding Goh=warden
Wong Kwan=warden
Chan Ling Wai=pupil kung fu school
Lam Wai (1)=pupil kung fu school
Cheung Hei=prisoner
Kei Ho Chiu=pupil kung fu school
Chiang Cheng= Ma Siu Tien, one-eyed prisoner
Leung Siu Hung= thug with bird cage helper
Kong Yuk Laan

Updated - thanks. Added Tony Leung Siu-Hung to the cast list... not sure why he wasn't there already since we'd already ID'd him in the images!

The question about Kuan Tung or Kwan Fung is still open.

Mate, you look like a good candidate for editorship.

No thanks. My 'work' for HongKong Cinemagic already takes two to four hours a day.

On the original trailer of 'Monkey Kung Fu' the pole fighter is credited as Kuan Tung. You got him credited as Kwan Fung. The characters (hanzirs, sinograms) are not the same. If Kwan Fung=Kuan Tung then you got the wrong characters for Kwan Fung. If you got the right characters for Kwan Fung, then the pole fighter isn't Kwan Fung, but Kuan Tung.


Still got no answer on this!

I don't really understand - are you saying that his name is wrong in *all* his credits here, or that it's two different people? It seems to be the same guy in all these pics:

Can you post a capture from the trailer?

Alias?

Postby Bruce » Sun Jan 08, 2006 7:10 pm

I see that on the Big5 page for Kwan Fung, there is an alias listed as Kwan Tung:

I also see that in the HKFA, Kwan Tung is also credited for Five Superfighters.
