Does anyone know why John Woo's main name was changed into John Woo Yu-Sum? What romanization is this? And in what movie was he credited like that? And why does "John Woo" not even appear as an Alias even though it's his most common name?

Driven by this questions, I have now checked as much movie credits as possible, here are the results:

Only Chinese credits:
The Time You Need a Friend
Happy Union 2
Don't Cry, Nanking

Wu Yu-Shen:
The Boxer from Shantung
The Water Margin
Young People
Four Riders

Wu Tsung-Shen (today added as a new Alias):
The Blood Brothers

Wu Yu-Sheng (today added as a new Alias):
The Young Dragons
The Dragon Tamers
Princess Chang Ping
The Hand of Death

John Y. C. Woo (today added as a new Alias):
The Pilferer's Progress

John Y. S. Woo:
Follow the Star
Last Hurrah for Chivalry

John Woo:
Hello, Late Homecomers
Plain Jane to the Rescue
From Riches to Rags
A Better Tomorrow
A Better Tomorrow II
The Killer
Just Heroes
To Hell with the Devil
Bullet in the Head
Once a Thief
Hard Boiled
Run, Tiger, Run
Ghost Bustin'
Love, Lone Flower
Super Citizen
Peace Hotel

John Wo (today added as a new Alias):

I would like to suggest to change his main name into John Woo.
