M.B.S.??

[Brian Thibodeau]

This seems to be an odd entry. Not sure what M.B.S. stands for, and it's been awhile since I've seen STUNT MEN, the only film he's apparently worked on (in multiple primary capacities no less), but I'm wondering if these credits shouldn't be deleted until we can get shots of the real thing.

I know I have this lying around somewhere, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's an old laserdisc, which won't be of much use.

HKFA entry: M.B.S.

[Fan]

Media Business Services Ltd (MBS Studios) ?

[Brian Thibodeau]

Well, I stand corrected! Looks like this place is indeed some kind of post-production collective, so I suppose we may never know exactly who did what.

According to the HKFA (and Google Translate) the company did the following duties on the following films, with their responsibilities on the last two very similar to those on STUNT MEN. Perhaps all three of these films were sort of like demo reels. I know STUNT MEN was a shot-on-video production for sure, and I'm guessing most of these (bar ADVENTURERS) might have been the same. Perhaps Fan's full name could be added as an alias?

THE ADVENTURERS: computer editing
HORROR SCHOOL: video effects
ENDLESS NIGHTMARE: video effects
FEMALE INTERNMENT CAMP: video effects
IT'S NOW OR NEVER: sound mixer
LOVE AND JUSTICE: Photography. Recording. Lighting. Editing. Video effects. Score. Effect. Sound mixer
TIME AFTER TIME: Lighting. Editing. Recording. Video post-production effects. Score. Effect. Sound mixer

if nobody stops me in 15 days I will merge them

Merge who?

From what I can see, the first five films feature work by this company in capacities I'm not certain the HKMDB credit system actually makes allowances for:

THE ADVENTURERS: computer editing
HORROR SCHOOL: video effects
ENDLESS NIGHTMARE: video effects
FEMALE INTERNMENT CAMP: video effects
IT'S NOW OR NEVER: sound mixer

Of the last two, one isn't in the system (LOVE AND JUSTICE) and the other (TIME AFTER TIME) hasn't had screen caps posted yet (although having recently watched it, I can confirm that M.B.S. is heavily featured in the closing credits). Just need a little time for that one. We should probably change the genre of TIME AFTER TIME as well, since it's not a "ghost" movie, but a suspense thriller.
