From the re-titled "Abbot White" version. I don't know if anything can be salvaged from these, this is an absolutely horrendous print

I already added that info years ago and now I have the same problem: I cannot see the names of the presenter and prod. man.

On this image:

my guess is the name on the left is ??? - the closest match could be this guy? Andy Lam Yiu-Chung

Also, what is the information on this image? I don't see it in the credits

Could be this http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
His job is ?? (stunts). ¿Stunt director? ¿Stuntman? but I do not know if he is the same person.

2nd pic:
I forgot the first. ?? means "effects", added.
The second is ??, which I do not know what does it mean. Could be "credits designer" or "titles and opticals" or something like that.
The third is ?? which could be "dialogue editor". This job does not exists in our DB.

Should we add it to the jobs list?

That would make more sense - I assumed his job was a production manager. I assume it means Stunt Coordinator? There are a few people (and dummies) being thrown out of tall structures in this film, maybe he set those up.

As for the dialogue editor, is there any way it could mean "story editor?" From the plot/style, I really think this film was based on a wuxia novel. Just a gut feeling... no proof.

I would not add "Dialogue editor" to our DB. I think it is a Sound Recordist who focus in the dialogues of the actors.

Why not add 'em both? Surely both will turn up in the credits of other films sooner or later? I know I've seen "dialogue editor" in the credits of several other movies, mostly recent fare, so the credit appears that way at least some of the time (perhaps a combo job like "Dialogue Editor/Sound Recordist" might work?). In fact, there are several job titles that could/should be added to the list, as has often come up here in the forums (I know this probably sounds like a separate topic, but since the subject was touched upon here by Bob hisself, I hope I'll be forgiven, and then ordered to start a new thread ;) ). Obviously, newer productions with more complete credits will benefit the most from the DB having such options. And there should be no cold, hard rule that they must be filled in just because credit screens are uploaded (in case Calros becomes overburdened), but at least the option is there for others . . . :D

Heck, I'd even like to see the Tea Ladies get some long overdue credit here! 8) Seriously, how many other sites offer wholly unique information like that?
