Now we have the final section, the people I spotted in more than one film, but unfortunately was unable to name confidently, often there was just nothing to work with.

A possible match.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the movie.
It features a character who swears, early in the film, "Vincent, I must revenge ON him".
The film was released late in 1991.
It featured Vietnamese refugees.
I found the film here a few years ago, but cannot remember the name. Damn.

This guy, if he is a match, was of course a gwailo villain, one terrific kicker and badass,
who played an obnoxious American who liked to sit with his feet plonked on a desk.

Sounds interesting, but unfortunately I doubt it's the same guy, as you describe him as "one terrific kicker and badess", whereas if you watch this guy's action in Secret Executioners you will conclude that he is neither

But I'll keep an eye out.
Cheers

Can you describe his roles more ?

It's been a while since I looked over the films, but Secret Executioners at least is unforgettable, as it's arguably one of the most laughable action scenes of all time Our fat friend here, fights against another middle-aged Westerner and it's clear that neither has had any martial arts training whatsoever, despite his admirable attempt at Snake Fist style

So, unless he trained for those 10 years between the films, I doubt it's the same guy as you described.

In Mission Thunderbolt, I believe he just stands around then gets shot, I think he's on screen for less than 30secs.

Similarly, in Struggle For Leader we don't get to see him fight (for lack of a better term ), I think he's just drunk and belligerent, and again is only in it for less than 30secs. But I only watched Ninja, Phantom Heros U.S.A. , so in the original film he might have more to do.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
