That movie

http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mht ... ay_set=eng

has the same director and most of the (very big!) cast of CHINA ARMED ESCORT:

http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mht ... ay_set=eng

Looks for me like the same movie.

Names not listed in the hkmdb cast list of CHINA ARMED ESCORT but in ZHENG ZONG BAO BIAO are Hsieh Hsing, Tsang Chiu, Wang Chiang-Liang, Leung Fung, Fan Hung-Hin, Cheung Bo-Sin, Su Chiang, Lee Chi-Chun, Mau Ging-Shun, Lau Yau-Bun and a few "only 1 movie-names". I don't have CHINA to check if they appear.

Opinions?

i would agree

looks like we're also missing a character in the chinese title of China Armed Escort, at least according to the poster

according to this they are not the same movie

very interesting!

I guess we'll have to try and find both films listed to confirm

Random tidbits that I've found.

All the Chinese sites I found only list Lung Lung/Long Long's film credits for the 1975 title ???? . But the HKFA lists only the 1976 title ????(Chinese title, Bodyguard). However...

The long article below refers to a 256 episode, 300+ cast series, called ???? Bodyguard and mentions Long Long. So, could the 1976 entry in our db actually be a TV series? I suspect so.

The last sentence also mentions a cast list of Bodyguard that corresponds to many cast names in China Armed Escort
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????256??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????

This paragraph refers to Chan Ming-Wa as director and screenwriter for the series Bodyguard which began broadcast in 1974.
1974?9?6????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


But then, this filmography for Chan Ming-Wa lists both as 1975 films, or at least separate productions.
