DB Title Update: NEW OPTION: CONFRONTATION (2003) (#6)

[Brian Thibodeau]

Sleeve is in the DB along with the others. Opening and closing credits. Again, be aware that the cast list in the closing credits puts actors in major roles at the end of the list as well as the beginning.

Thanks!

Added a few more character names, to this entry and the previous two you've updated. Gary Mak may appear in some of these uncredited, but I will wait until they're all updated to quick-check the discs again.

I suspect a lot of guesswork went into the original entries for this series, perhaps based on info from erroneous retail sites, thus the various boo-boos.

Just found another probable merge as well:

Cheung Man-gwong (2), who you've added to the three NEW OPTION titles you've updated so far:

and

Joseph Cheung Man-kwong
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

are very likely the same guy. The actor pictured in the latter entry is in every one of these New Option sequels, as Michael Wong's second-in-command, and the guy who knows everything about guns, not unlike his character in DOUBLE TAP and Gordon Chan's original three OPTION movies. His character's English name in these video features is "Joe," another indication that a merge is in order. Not sure which name should be the main and which the alias, though...

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