hey,

considering the lack of facial hair for Hwang and the presence of Eddy Ko in one grab, I'd say almost all, if not all are from Hitman In The Hand Of Buddha.

The first seven are from "Hitman in the hand of Buddha", the last two I haven't found out yet. It's not from a film I own. A (almost) complete list of HJL-films (with an idication that I own them or not and if they are for sale at the moment or not) can be found here.

It does have the HK version and Hwang's alternate Korean cut. The quality of the HK cut is decent enough, the Korean cut... significantly less so. Nice to have for collectors, but I only watched a few minutes myself.

You mean:
HK version = cropped to fit full screen, english dubbed, a bit vertical stretched, 89 min.?
Korean version = cropped to fit full screen, Sound=korean, burnt-in English subs, a bit vertical stretched, 81 min.?

The last two pics, you gave us the link to, are probably from "No retreat, no surrender 2: Raging Thunder".
