Golgo 13

[STSH]

Many extras and stunt players need ID’s.

Some pics of extras are small and hard to see. I request that they be kept until the faces are ID'd、but I won’t raise a fuss if they are.

Notes on Credits:

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail ... ay_set=eng
Callan’s Motion Picture company includes everyone’s favourite baddy, Ho Ka Kui !

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail ... ay_set=eng
All other crew are Japanese (panels not captured).
All the names are easy to read in this panel, but the jobs aren’t. The only one clearly readable is “Suchiru” (Stills).

Full cast credits
Note : All shots are from the Japanese version. Because this is a Japanese production with a mainly Japanese crew, I am assuming that this is the authoritative version of the credits. If anyone can capture the credits from the HK (or even if there is a US) version, the comparison would be interesting.

1. “Joanna Tosu”- Joanna Tors (from IMDb) is a close match – accepted. Role confirmed by J link page. ID based on this role.

Other notes :

I suspect that a number of the roles from the J link page were sourced and back-matched from the IMDb page.

Sonny Chiba plays, of course, Golgo. He spends quite a lot of time masquerading as “Duke Togo”. I therefore propose that the role be “Golgo aka Duke Togo”.

Jim James – I propose this credit be deleted, unless evidence can be found.

The two pics of Glenn Thomson seem only to match the chap playing the Police Chief. But the J link page credits Jim Bruce as the Police Chief. Opinions ?

Charlie Chan – his character is not named in the film. Despite the J page and IMDb showing him playing “Chan”, I propose changing his role to simply “Cop”.

I'm sure these two guys are Sasaki Shunji　and Hatano Hiroshi. But which is which ?

J page link includes :
“Joji Ri” – George Lee, with a role. No idea who this could be.
Glenn Thomson is credited as Furantsu (France). See note above.
“Auin Panosu” – fair match for Irwin Panos (from IMDb). Role from IMDb matches. ID not established.

That actor

and

Gigo is not in the hkmdb, but his chinese name is shown in the cast list of "Love Swindlers" and his English name in "Cleopatra".

It's not my place, but I'd go further than this and remove the Duke Togo reference altogether. And as he is (if I remember correctly) always referred to by the full name of "Golgo 13", I'd change it to that, too. Just my two pen'orth.
