Dan Schwarz and more

The Dan Schwarz of Zen Kwun Do Strikes in Paris

looks not like the actor identified as Dan Schwarz in other movies:

I also don't know whether there really is a Dan Schwarz in the other films listed in the hkmdb. I hope it wasn't just copied from the imdb (which is full of errors in older Asian films).

Snuff-Bottle Connection (1977)
Fists of Bruce Lee (1979)
The Story of the Dragon (1979) ... Mr Grand
Tower of Death (1981)

Zen Kwun Do Strikes in Paris is the only movie I know he is listed in the credits/on the poster.

With this actor, at least the The Story of the Dragon ID looks wrong:

I browsed about him (browsing is difficult since "Dan Schwarz" always leads to some black belt karate content)
After watching that picture with Chuck Norris it seems like this is Dan Schwarz

I untagged the 2 portraits, but still: Who is that guy playing in 2 movies

I have been looking over the Chinese language resources and still haven't found much.

Thanks for your contributions.

I tend to delete Dan Schwarz from the cast lists of

Snuff-Bottle Connection (1977)
Fists of Bruce Lee (1979)
The Story of the Dragon (1979) ... Mr Grand
Tower of Death (1981)

- but of course I'll wait first.

Some mistakes are difficult to understand. Is it confusion of names or faces? Copied from unreliable sources?

Nice work. I'm pretty sure you're correct.

I did a bit of sleuthing and it seems it might be just copied from IMDB page, but why those credits are like that I've no idea, since as far as I could see it "Zen" was his only HK film.

I didn't find any definitive proof that he didn't work on the others, but they were never mentioned, and you'd think that they would be, as "Snuff" holds much more clout than "Zen" and especially Game Of Death 2, as if he wouldn't mention that, also I've seen some of those plenty of times and can't say I've seen him.

I've actually gathered enough info to create a small bio for him which I will post soon.

Cheers
