Title corrections

Postby Libretio » Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:03 pm

Noticed a couple of oddities in the database, including RAINNY NIGHT'S KILLER (1974), which I'm sure should be spelled RAINY NIGHTS KILLER (one 'N', no apostrophe). I'm aware that many older Asian titles were sometimes lax with English spelling, and maybe it's spelled with two 'N's and an apostrophe on-screen, in which case it ought to be noted somewhere in the entry. Try spelling the title correctly whilst looking for the film in the database, and you won't be able to find it, since the search engine requires you to be absolutely precise.

The other mistake I stumbled across is THE GOLD HUNG (1954). This is actually THE GOLD HUNT, also known in some sources as THE FORTUNE HUNTERS, notable as one of several HK films (including BLACK GLOVES, HAPPY LOVERS and A WOMAN'S REVENGE) to be produced in 3-D during the 1950's, coinciding with Hollywood's stereoscopic boom of the same period.

Rainy Nights Killer added as an alias. 'Night Killer' would have turned up the entry via search. The HKFA lists Rainny Night's Killer as the title.

Gold Hung changed to Gold Hunt, as listed in HKFA
