Aloha Little Vampire Story [1988] – update

This one took longer than expected: for one thing, as each time I kept starting, I found a better print to work with so had to started all over again. It also took some time to find a version with the end credits, and even longer to find the Korean print with some more names. Then trying to find out who was who, as I had the character names from the end credits (a refreshing change) but some of them only get named once, blink and you'll miss it territory. So the whole thing was a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end, I think.
Seven actors had already been ID'd for this film, but there was also three who had been ID'd in other films but not here yet.
But I also managed to get ID's for ten more people, all of which are brand new. Five of them didn't even have pages yet.
I've also added character names in both English and Chinese where possible. Some of the English names needed tweaking due to those dodgy old embedded English subs. I also called the vampire “uncles” as White Vampire and Black Vampire rather than uncle, because only Jeong Tae-woo refers to them as such and in the end credits they're called vampire rather than uncle too.
Both prints had a different cast order, prioritising Taiwanese and Korean actors respectively, but both missing some from each other, mixed up some and some people were not even credited at all. So I've created a cast list that better reflects the importance of the characters and screen-time etc.

I am going to fill in the Korean versions of people's names too, but at the moment I've got something also connected to this film that requires my more immediate focus, so I've gotta keep my head in the zone while it lasts
Note: At the start of this project I also decided to get some more pics of Chan Yin-yu, unfortunately I was unable to find copies of the two films he hasn't been ID'd in yet, so I've just beefed up the others.
Cheers
