Welcome on board Jay lee

We have Chan Hung (2) 陳鴻. Pinying Chen Hong.
SB-actor from the '70-'80.
He has a number 2 on the HKMDB so I gave him that one too.

Accoording to the HKMDB there's an other Chan Hung, 陳鴻 (Same characters as nr. 2.) Pinying Chen Hong. Seems to have the western name 'Jason'.
He appears in films of the recent years. He has number 3 on the HKMDB, but the HKFA got one list for both!!!!
Added Chan Hung (3) without any credit. (He can always be merged with nr. 2 when we are sure it's one person.

Then there is an actress Chan Hung (1) on the HKMDB. 陳紅 Chen Hong in Pinying. Accoording to the HKMDB she appears in Luckiest Trio (1980), The Accident (1983) and The Occupant (1984)

Accoording to the HKFA The actor/actress with these characters appears in:
龍城正月 Dragon Town City 1997
和你在一起 Together 2003
阿福與土佬 The luckiest trio 1980
拖手仔 Love 1982
傣女之戀 1989
靈氣迫人 The occupant 1984

We have an actress Chen Hong (added a (1)) for
Mei Lan Fang 2008 as Actress
Promise, The 2005 as Actress, but also as Presenter and Production Manager ?????(I must have a look at these credits again)
Together 2002 as actress
Romance Of The Three Kingdoms 1995 as Actress

I 'm not sure the actor from the 80's is the same person as the one from recent years!!

Then there is an an actor Chan Hung (4) on the HKMDB. 陳雄 Chen Xiong in pinying. Actor and planner in recent years.
Added him without any credits.

And there is Chan Hung (5) on the HKMDB 陳虹 Pinying Chen Hong (perhaps Chen Jiang). Accoording to the HKMDB actor (for over 50 years) and costume designer?
We got him for "No U-turn"

We have Chan Hung/Chen Hong 陳洪 on the HKFA and the HKMDB.
On the HKFA he's an actor in the 90's
Gave him nr 6. Added without credits.

It's very confusing!! So confusing that I don't know what to do. I will seep it over

Hey, just found a mistake on the GREEN JADE STATUETTE movie page...!

The last (big) picture text says... "left to right: Tommy Lee Gam Ming, Chi Kuan Chun"

It's actually Chi Kuan Chun and Meng Fei, so it should say... " left to right: Chi Kuan Chun, Meng Fei"

It's no big deal, but still....! I couldn't figure out how to change it, so im reporting it here!

I've changed it!

You learn quick

About Chan Hung (1) 陳紅 Chen Hong (1) in Pinying. Accoording to the information I recieved she is indeed actress, but also Presenter and Production Manager in The Promise (but I haven't seen the proof of it ).

You learn quick

He's got a good teacher...

Thats true

btw, I found three different years of birth, for Lu Feng (venom)... 1953, 1955 and 1956, which is also listed on the site here! However, all of the ones I found, said the date was may 15. So should I put that in, when they had the years wrong?

I updated the birth year with that date, but i addeed a note in the french bio too.

So you could translate the french bio (with Babelfish or other soft) and add the note too...

I smell a challenge....

Sure, i'll give it a go, when I have time!

Welcome Jay !

Thanks D-O....!

My adds for today:

Added...

Golden Harvest+20th Century Fox to Cannonball Run
Golden Harvest to Cannonball Run 2
Date of birth to Hiroyuki Sanada and Bruce Li
cantonese title to Coward Bastard (couldn't get the chinese characters to work???)

Don't have that much time these days, so my adds will be limited!

Thanks to Pieter for the films

A pity, but such things can happen

Here's the proof!

Hey, just informing you that my father has been in a traffic accident, and been badly hurt. And I am the only one there is to take care of him and help him recover, so I don't have much time for updates at this time. I still want to be a part of the team. And whe my dad gets better, I will have more time to devote to the site. but for now, I will have to concentrate on his recovery. Hope it is ok.
