Man Wa is Fan Dan?

[Michael Kistner]

I have the strong feeling that Man Wa

is a alias for Fan Dan:

Fan Dan and Man Wa are listed in a few movies together in the credits - but it is not the first time filmmakers used different names in credits for the same movie (examples: Joseph Kuo, Law Kei, Gam Sing-Yan).

The reason why I believe that Man Wa is Fan Dan is together with my "feeling" that facts:

1. In RED LIPS Fan Dan has a role, Man Wa is listed as actor
2. In KILLER OF SNAKE, FOX OF SHAOLIN (updated cast list) Fan Dan appears and the name Fan MAN WA is in the cast

Somebody think I'm right?

Also Fan Man-Wa is the name of Fan Dan.

Nobody objects if I merge the names in a few days?
