When getting ready for my 2nd round of Lee Jae-yeong (2)'s KUP, I noticed I hadn't added the credit for this film and I hadn't added the other [Korean cut] cast (like I did with Ninja In The Dragon's Den). I'm not sure why that was the case (it might've been because I wasn't ready to correct the mistranslated cast names), but I'm here to correct that now and thought I might as well do the crew too, especially as the one should be quick, because despite the large number of Korean cast members, I can't find any footage, or pics. Even the Korean promotional pics are from the Taiwanese scenes, the only exception being a pic of Kwak Moo-seong on the poster, which I didn't even notice at first as it takes up so little space compared to more Taiwan pics
It's also strange that I've not seen any evidence of this film getting a VHS release, yet the soundtrack was release on tape The KOFA has a release print in storage, so hopefully we'll get the chance to see it some day.
Cast:
Kwak Moo-seong
Im Ja-ho
Jin Ka-gae (aka Chia Kai)
Kim Kook-hyeon
Hwang Kook-joo (aka Huang Kuo-chu)
Lee Jo-yeong (aka Li Chu-yong)
Moon Jong-geum
Ra Myung-sook --- [already on HKMDB but no credits at all, strange]
Song Yoon-joo
Lee Joo-hyeon --- [already on HKMDB but no credited to Golden Dragon, Silver Snake which is also strange, because I can ID pretty much everyone in that film and there's not really any room in the cast for lee. What I think has happened is that the original poster confused him with Jeong Joo-hyeon who is in that film. It may actually be Jeong in this film, as there are several mistranslations, but without seeing the film I can't be sure]
Lee Byung-jin --- [NEW to HKMDB]
Kim Hyeon-soo --- [already on HKMDB same as Ra Myung-sook, did someone try to upload Korean credits for this film before and then delete them? It certainly seems that way]

Hong Jae-cheol --- [NEW to HKMDB]

I also added more info regarding the Hyun Jin Cinema Co., Ltd
Se Kyung Hwasa was a South Korean film production and distribution company established in1964 by Kim Hwa-shik. They worked on several Hong Kong/Taiwan Korean co-productions and were responsibly for distributing Hong Kong classics such as The Young Master [1980] to the peninsula. They also brought in films from Hollywood such as Escape To Athena and Terminator 2: Judgment Day which brought them a good deal of success. It would become Se Kyung Heungup in 1967 and continue under this name up until 1995,where they became Soon Film, after the the previous company's bankruptcy. The company would change yet again and became Hyun Jin Cinema in 2000, now headed by CEO Lee Soon-yeol. They went on to have many successes during the 2000's, notably producing the hugely popular My Wife Is A Gangster series, the action of which was director by Operation Scorpio star, Won Jin.
