Help with Korean/HK co-prod cast names

[luckystars]

Tsao Yi

Fang Hsiu-Yi

Chao Ying Chun

Any of these ring a bell?

[Markgway]

What's the film?

[luckystars]

Tiger of Northland (1976)

Let me know if you find it on the Korean DB :)

Yup that's definitely it. B & W photos are amazing thanks Bruce.

[Markgway]

These should be the Korean translations for the names you're after...

Fang Hsiu Yi = Bang Su Il

Chao Ying Chun = Jo Young Jun

Tsao Yi = Jo Il

[Markgway]

I don't think these actors have been in other HK co-productions so you might have a harder time tracking them... unless you know Korean films.

[Bruce Long]

This is Bang Su-Il. He was one of the good guys in Tiger of Northland. He was also in the Bobby Kim films Interpol (Deadly Roulette) and Deadly Kick.

Thanks :)

Here he is on the hkmdb:

hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=32167&display_set=eng (http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=32167&display_set=eng)

And here's his name in the Spiritual Kung Fu credits (first on left):

Going by the cast photos on this (http://www.angelfire.com/az3/chia/castb/spi.htm) page, is this Bang Su-Il/Fang Hsiu-Yi?

Is that your site Bruce? :)

[Bruce Long]

Yes, that's Bang Su-Il in Spiritual Kung Fu, thanks. (And yes, that's my site.) The image you linked will not load here, though, because Angelfire blocks secondary links to its web images.

Ok one last question. Do you think Park Jong-Kuk (http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=16047&display_set=eng) and Tong Yuen-Hon (http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=4165&display_set=eng) could be the same person?

Park has no credit but is lead of the film, whereas Tong Yuen-Hon has second billing (to Maria Yi) but is an unknown actor.

They are probably the same person, but some of the other Koreans who have major roles are also uncredited in the cast list, so confirmation would be needed.

[luckystars]

Of course. Thanks :)

[Markgway]

Do you think Park Jong-Kuk and Tong Yuen-Hon could be the same person?

Why would he have two totally different names though? They're not even slightly similar. Usually the Chinese name is a translation of the Korean one. I must admit I hate when they leave credits out.
