I had asked Frankie Chan about A Warrior's Tragedy.
He said Invincible Power of Kindness isn't A Warrior's Tragedy.
http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
Invincible Power of Kindness is directed for Korea in 1995,it just used some scenes in A Warrior's Tragedy.
And A Warrior's Tragedy 2 is not existed which shows in HKFA.

We discussed this topic time ago. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=51140&p=77714 and viewtopic.php?f=15&t=48190&p=67095

The same editor who proposed to separate the films, in the end decided not to separate them.

As Frankie said,the Invincible one is took out in 1995 for Korea film maker's demand,not for Taiwan and not another version of A Warrior's Tragedy.

I will wait to see if the editor who proposed the split reconsiders his decision. If he agrees, I will create the 2nd movie.

Hello,
I would like to confirm what the topic starter already communicated, "Invincible Power of Kindness / ????" is not an alias in an usual way, but rather the title of a re-edit finished two years later in 1995 with new added shots, at least one replaced actress and a completely different story, original dialogues were changed into a total different meaning. Therefore I suggest to describe these titles as "1995 Re-edit" (or something similiar) instead of a simple "Alias".

The aforementioned replaced actress is Chak Ying, she took over Wang Lu-Yao's role of "Ting Pak Wan". This must have been the reason why in Chak Ying's profile is a wrong picture:

In fact this picture shows Wang Lu-Yao who played "Ting Pak Wan" in the original version:
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/images.mhtml ... ay_set=eng

The longer original version was originally a Two-Parter and then edited into one movie which is the widely known HK version released by Winson and Cinema City. I have no idea how and where the movie was released first though.
Part 1 Chinese title of the longer original version is ???? as well.
Part 2 has two different titles:
????????? (original onscreen title & Singapore laserdisc cover)
????????? (HKFA title & US Network Kingdom tape)
English title:
A Warrior's Tragedy II

Furthermore, the original dialogue are at least not "Cantonese" alone, to me it looks like that it was partially (maybe entirely?) shot in Mainland China or Mongolia, Mainland actors took part too, leading villain Xu Huan-Shan for example (after comparison between Canto and Mandarin track he obviously spoke Mandarin).

If the differences between the two versions are as extensive as Chen Hung Lieh describes, it doesn't sound like this should be a simple 'alias' but a completely new entry.

If we want to create a new entry, first we must know what cast and crew appears in each entry. And what titles and aliases are in each entry.

Before I watched IPOK the first time, I just expected a different perspective on basically the same story. But then I was pretty surprised how the story completely contradicted all the events that happened in AWT (1+2). Of course there are lots of movies with alternative endings or alternative shootings, but I never saw anything comparable to IPOK, even Godfrey Ho's copy & past productions are closer to the plots of the used original movies : )

I will take care of that as good as I can, give me some time.

For the sake of better overview I will post two corrections now, before I later come up with the cast for the new entry.

This fellow can be deleted:
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
His name "Wong Tai-Hung" is in fact the role name, and his role name "Ge Jian Jun" is in fact the name of the actor. This mistake was obviously copied from the IPOK credits (AWT credits list actor & role in the right order). Ge Jian-Jun already exists here:

The same mistake happened here, so this person can be deleted too. ??? is in fact the role name of Fu Hong-Suet's (Ti Lung) alleged mother "Fa Pak Hung".

http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
This person contains a typo, the credits of both IPOK and AWT list ??, not ??.
So she either can be deleted or changed into ??, depends on whether the following actress is the person who really played "Fa Pak Hung":

For comparison I made two screenshots of her.

For me there's a similarity, but this should be checked by an expert (I'm only expert in mixing up persons)
