Why was this deleted from the HKMDB? It was formerly title 10301. It did lack a Mandarin/Cantonese title but was a real movie.

Do you remember the last time you actually saw it in the DB? I have some older backups of the database...and it might be in there.

I would guess that it would be some time after March or April 2003. Beyond that I really don't know. I would go back to a backup from mid-2003 and try and grab it from there. It had only the English text though and no Mandarin/Cantonese name.

I found the entry in an old database backup from early July 2003. The edit log shows the entry was deleted from the live database on July 29th 2003 by admin. My guess is that it was deleted by Ryan or Joe because they deemed it to be an incomplete entry (i.e., low quality data).

In any case I will restore it and add your newer information. But we'll also need the big-5 (which will in turn generate the romanized mandarin and cantonese).

I've restored this and updated it. Also added Big-5.

Erm, hate to be the bearer of bad news...but the director of this title was creditted as "Leung San Pak", NOT "Leung Pak Kin" - it's not the same Patrick Leung as the director of TASK FORCE!

Rather, it's most likely another director operating under a pseudonym, since "Leung San Pak" is one of the characters from the Peking Opera "The Butterfly Lovers"...

Thanks for pointing that out. I shouldn't have been so careless.

That's okay...that's what I'm here for now that I'm registered on the forums! Any help I can offer anywhere for anyone is my pleasure! I have over twenty years knowledge of the HK cinema scene, and always happy to share it where I can...
