I have asked Gordan Chan in Sina.He told me all the series film The New Option's director is Clarence Ford.

As one of the few people on earth who's actually seen all ten entries in this series (oh, how I suffered!), I've long wondered if this was the case as there are telltale directorial signs buried in the overall blandness of every one of them. Ford's credited on the first one, but the other nine have no director credit on screen. If he did direct them, I can't say I blame him for leaving his name off of them, as they're uniformly mediocre and extremely padded. Mr. Ford was surely slumming just to get product on the shelves during those lean years of the industry. I'm debating whether I should update my own reviews to reflect this news, as it seems to come from a reliable source. It's great that you thought to ask about it. Did you interview him?

I've still only managed to get through 2 of those, so I can only imagine how much you have suffered watching all 10 off them

Well, I'd happily trade you the entire series so you can complete your education. Now, what have you got that I need -- let me peruse the threads here . . .

Hehe I think I will let you hold onto them until the day you turn old and senile and may end up watching them yet again when you have all forgotten about them

Nah, when I'm old and senile, I'll probably start mailing out pieces of my estate to my friends around the globe for posterity. Hopefully the 'old age homes' in Norway will have the capability to play VCDs in the communal rooms. Besides, the NEW OPTION movies unfold at such a glacial pace, they'd be the perfect entertainment for the elderly!

grumpy old men and actors one don't like, dangerous combination
Never quite gotten to like Michael Wong, his english just gets me the wrong way each time

Retirement and the ability to watch movies all day though sounds like a sweet sweet dream

if nobody stops me in 15 days I will add Ford.

I don't suppose there's any way to add "(uncredited)" beside his name?

No.
