I just found a Chang Yi's movie I had never heard of !! Since he doesn't appear as the lead, maybe he doesn't have a big role, butr at least, he plays in it !

I first thought that it might have been the above movie, but the title only has 3 characters :

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=19454&display_set=eng

I think The Great Hunter is the earliest role of his I've viewed, would be cool to see some of his early work.

If they made the effort to list him among the cast, he must have a few scenes at least?.

While looking at his filmopgrahy I noticed that this next to one of his early movie roles in Call To Arm's(1971),  it says(First edit) next to his characters name. He's listed as Zhu Hai, but actor Cheung Bun is also listed as the same character?. Did they have two actors play the same role for different versions?. He's listed quite high among the cast list, so it cant just have been a minor role.

am doing some catching up with you, i like the fast pace you set, but as you correctly say 3 characters instead of 4 . Mandarin or cantonese?

I found this " poor " information :

http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/movie.asp?id=4545

At least, there is a site that knows about this movie...

Someone on the forum seems to have found better details, but I don't want to post it  : it's her who found, so, it's her who should post what she found. I guess that she must be busy, hence she didn't post as yet.

I already told her that I want to give her a job in my detective Agency (called Sherlock Holmes Agency, of course !! :bs_coveredlaugh:

Thanks ShawAngela, I was looking for another kind of job anyways :bs_coveredlaugh:Well ok, I recognized the 3rd sign as "hai" = sea, and then identified the 4th as "bo". Adding ShawAngela's "feng", I googled for "feng hai bo" to no avail. Then I remembered the traditional left to right writing style and now got "bo hai feng". As there is the Chinese Bo Hai Sea or Gulf, I thought I might be on the right track. Google then led me to this imdb entry for the 1974 Taiwan movie BO HAI FENG YUN https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2521656/ and I got a bit excited when I saw that it is also know as THE PATRIOTS. ShawAngela meanwhile found out that "feng yun" means storm, so it all makes sense now, and I think we can close the case. All we need now is the movie itself! I hope we will be able to watch it one fine day.

I just took a look to Angela Mao's filmography on hkmdb and found two other titles that weren't mentioned a few months ago :

 

The couple who kills

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=19447&display_set=eng

 

Xiao Pi joins the army

 

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=13600&display_set=eng

 

The couple who kills must be a good one with Angela pairing with Meng Fei ! It must be something to watch !!

This poster looks familiar.

Isn't it the same movie as My name is twin legs, or something like that ?

Argh, I gave a wrong director. This is by Lee Doo-yong. Edit made.

This poster was used by WTC to make custom art for Lee Doo-yong's "Returned Single-Legged Man" (1974).

Kim Si-hyun's "Black Spider" (1975). Original version available on Korean VHS, which has been "bootlegged". Export version by Yangtze Productions played in France and Israel, but no home video release is known...

I think its from the actual film, there are a few stills of Whang In Sik in the same get-up, but sadly the one's I've seen don't feature any other actors, like the one you posted.

I found some showing a bunch of the cast. I don't know how rare they are but I hope someone enjoys them!

Never seen these before, great find @Drunken Monk.

There's no doubt now, first image you posted is from the same flcik, looks like a low budget Korean movie with the sets etc. Similar to the ones seen in some of the Dragon Lee movies.

Talking about Angela's rare movies, I asked for informations on The couple who kills on another forum and I was mesmerized to learn that there was another one called The vanishing cult ! The guy allowed me to post a link on which there are tons of informations on these two particular movies and on other ones that sadly we'll never see, unless there is a miracle...

 

Here is the link, thanks to Avedis on fuflix forum :

It seems that you posted the link to Golden king twice...

And, if my memory doesn't play with me, it seems that I have Hard man in danger somewhere. I don't remember if I got it from Jamal, or BigRogie or FLK...FLK lists it with also the aka Return of the Canton boxer, and the poster they shows is the one shown on hkmdb for Avengers 1973...

Hard man in danger :

Avengers :

FLK :

A little bit confusing, isn't it ?! :bs_coveredlaugh:
