Koreans Update Project - Jang Cheol

Postby J.J.Hayden » Wed Aug 16, 2023 3:13 pm

The first proper step in the Lee Jae-yeong #1 / LJY #2 / Jang Cheol project. It feels strange to be doing an update where I remove films rather than add them :P But I did add some basic info such as his real name Jang Seung-cheol etc. I also added new ID pics from each of his HKMDB films which can be seen in the "Jang Cheol - IDs" section.

The films that were removed were the ones which belong to the other Jang Cheol (who's update I'll upload later):

Thought I'd do this at the same time as Hong Seong-chan, since it's only the one credit to add.

One of those films I'm sure I definitely had ID's for yet, hadn't been moved to my HKMDB related folders for some reason. Ninja Of The Magnificence, which uses footage from the 1986 film Arahan, I updated the movie page and Kim Jeong-yong's page with this info.

Not to be confused with the 2004 hit martial arts/comedy directed by Ryu Seung-wan, starring his brother Ryu Seung-beom and renowned action director Jeong Doo-hong.

This film is quite interesting though, as it's a good marker for a turning point in the Korean martial arts film industry, in the mid to late 80's the films started to dry up and the genre began to find a new home in made for TV films aimed more towards children. In fact, this film fetures several of the next great generation of Korean action actors, who would appear in many of these super low productions over the next decade.

Also, I might as well add this here: A mate over at KFF brought to my attention that the DOB of Sammo Hung's Korean ex-wife Jo Eun-ok might be in question. He wondered if whoever had entered the data had confused Jo with the South Korean footballer Cho Yoon-ok (aka Jo Yoon-ok) as they share the name Jo Yoon-ok.

I agree with him, I've seen that kind of mistake made plenty of times and when I looked into it myself, I found nothing to support this date belonging to Sammo's ex-wife. So if nobody provides some evidence for this date, I'll remove it in a few weeks.
