Orphan titles from China Star

[john_larocque]

I'm trying to map this title. Is it already here under another alias? "La tentation de paris". Cheung Tsim director (that is Buyoyo's Anglicisation of the name).

Might be this one?

HKFA

Or, less likely:

HKFA

I noticed the director of "La tentation de Paris" was listed as planner of 7 Days of Paris.

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

I'm tempted to go with the latter mapping, based solely on the link to Cheung Chin (2) (although the Chinese title is different than the VCD). Is Chin listed in the first HKFA link?

[dleedlee]

Yes, as producer, that's why I lean towards that one. And the Chinese title is more similar.

Buyoyo: 巴黎誘惑 - Temptation of Paris (?)

HKFA: 墮è

[dleedlee]

Taiwan database also lists this 1991 film produced by Cheung Chim


[b]巴黎夜å

My brother has the title buried in his boxes of watched movies somewhere. I'll ask him to dig it out... but it may take some time.

Online searches are a pain. Most of them time you can find a Universe or a Mei Ah or the other major labels at the usual sites, but some are really hard to find pictures of online. Like THIS title...

[dleedlee]

Don't go to any extra bother, I was just curious. I thought I might find it in an old online sellers China Star catalog but didn't turn anything up close.

[john_larocque]

OK, here are the remaining titles from their catalog that either have aliases, or need mapping.

Dragon Story

This may an alias for semi-gods and semi-devils. Also the year of 1982 seems incorrect as most China Star releases were from the early to mid-90's

Ballad of the Yellow River

This might not warrant inclusion as it's a mainland China title.

Added.
There are more actors listed on the cover, including at least two Japanese. But the larger image will not load.

I vote for inclusion, because Ge You has a number of movies already listed. But someone else can add it.

This one's tricky.
Hing Oi Wa made most of her movies in the '70s, with one listed for 1989.
Au Yuen Lam is listed for only one film, in 1991. Split the difference and make it 1990 ?

[john_larocque]

Sure, how wrong could 1990 be?
