Koreans Update Project - Lee Hwa-jin

by **J.J.Hayden** » Sun Jul 02, 2023 5:48 pm

This was actually meant to be #4 of the "big four" of the Koreans, but I've got a lot more notes on #3 than I thought, quite a few of them being duplicates, so it's taking a lot longer to work through for a bio, I also got distracted by other projects too

Sadly the same can't be said for #4 Lee Hwa-jin, despite how many films he showed up in (often with prominent roles too), there's next to no info about him out there. I have a couple of notes but I'm not sure it's even enough for a mini bio, so for now I won't bother, I may come back to it in the future.

But as usual, I've added as much basic info; names; missing films and pics for as many of his films that are listed on the HKMDB as possible.

Mo man tai

Should I post these in "Actor Identification" too? Do you think people are missing them?

Cool. I'll get around to it. My last of the "Big Four" is basically ready to go and I'm just finishing up with another project too that's had to be delayed a few times for different reasons, it took some work, but it'll be good to finally have it sorted.

It's no wonder I missed these two being in this film, as they're hardly in it, they've probably got more screen time in the Korean cut. Lee Hwa-jin is only in it for about 1min and Park Hui-jin is only in it for about 1sec :shock:

Another KUP round 2.

It's still a pity to me that this guy has been in so many films, yet there's still basically no info on him whatsoever. At least he's got this big filmography, that just keeps getting bigger

Firstly there's his ID's from Blazing Fists and A Blow Of Fury that I posted in my updates for those films, but hadn't included them here yet.

Blazing Fists [1977]

A Blow Of Fury [1977] --- 2 roles
https://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=14869&display_set=eng

There's also a few secondary roles for films I'd done already: My Name Is 'Twin Legs' (plays one of the Miner thugs by simply throwing on a black coat

); Sandong Chinese Restaurant (that I finally got the whole film of); and Masters Of Tiger Crane that I wasn't as confident about at first, as there's a few actors that look similar to Lee at times.

And finally, there's a bunch of new credits from the films I'd missed, I actually wasn't that surprised to find him, as he seems to show up in every film of that era
