Thai Stars in Hong Kong 70s Movies

Postby heinz Germany » Sun Oct 10, 2010 2:34 pm

Yesterday watched the odd early 70s Wu Xia movie "The Devilish Killer" and after watching checked the cast.
Came across actress Bi Cha-La (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng) who seems much too glamourous to be kind of "one-hit-wounder", so I checked her back-ground and found she is a huge Thai Star (Petchara Chaowarat). Added 3 portraits and 3 Links related to her.
She is strong related to Actor Mit Chaibancha (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng) who co-worked with her in about 150 Thai movies (!),but sadly not in Devilish Killer, because he was killed during the filming of a stunt after falling from a helicopter in 1970! (Added his birth & death date plus 2 Links to him). So maybe link those both actors together? Added 6 pictures to him, who sadly had no picture nor in the cast-page neither in the HMDB picture gallery of "Sword of Emei". . During research found nice thai poster of his movies "Hooded swordman" (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_de ... ay_set=eng) From the artwork I can tell probably with Petchara, too!!and "The Tiger and the Dragon" (1971) (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_de ... ay_set=eng)
And found nice Thai poster for "The Devilish Killer" (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_de ... ay_set=eng) and came across the prominent part of Kong Ban's "Big Brother" named Chang Ye in Bruce cast-page who is not in our cast list yet. And from the exposed position on the thai poster and the fact that he plays the love interest of the Thai female lead actress I found out he must be Thai Actor too! I discovered he is actually the Thai Star Chaiya Suriyun (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng) Added 3 portraits - He still has no Big5 Name yet!
Thus make more appetite for research and found a nice Thai poster for "The King Boxer (1972)" (http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail ... ay_set=eng) and You already guess what comes next? Another ID for the Thai Lead actor who is unknown yet and has no Big 5 Name yet.It is Nard Poowanai (http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng)
