The title Lethal Angels:

is the same film as Naked Avengers

The Naked Avengers entry even has "Lethal Angels" listed as an alias!

The film was released last year to outlying SE Asian territories (I could have gone and seen it while I was in Sarawak, Malaysia in May of 2006 but it played cinemas there sans English subtitles) and it looks like it's now getting a belated release in Hong Kong this year. :)

I think the second movie was added by Mr. Ryan.

If nobody stops me in 15 days I will merge them.

I think, in this instance, it would be best to stick with the Lethal Angels title, as that's what it was submitted to the TELA (HK censor board), screened in cinemas as, and will be released to home video as...

...in Hong Kong. The Naked Avengers title seems to have been a SE Asian release title, as that's the name it appeared under in Malaysia last year. :)

Image Editor Shiomi picked up on this a few months ago:

Thanks for the TELA info, Mike. Lethal Angels is the title we should have as the main.

Here's a link to the TELA, should anyone want to check censorship ratings etc (though, the DB there only goes back about three years):

http://www.tela.gov.hk/english/welcome.htm

You click on "Services" on the side totem-pole then select "Film Search" from the drop-down menu. Here's the TELA entry for the film:

Film Title: LETHAL ANGELS
Classification: Category IIB
Director: Steve Cheng
Language of dialogue: Cantonese
Language of subtitle: Chinese & English
Duration: 97 min
Remarks: Contains strong violence, sexuality and depiction of sexual violence


The entry also pretty much makes nonsense of CN Entertainment's Category III classification on the film's DVD sleeve, as this is the ONLY entry for the film in the TELA DB.

Hope all these little things help with data in the DB? Though I'm not an editor anymore I still aim to be as helpful as I can where time permits. :)
