Updates (26 Mar 2012)

Brief details for changes to existing entries at the main scope filmography, with fuller details below:


AKAME 48 WATERFALLS (2003): Online clips confirm this was shot in an unidentified anamorphic format.

ALLES BOB! (1998): This is a 'CropScope' film (ie. shot with spherical lenses and cropped for a 2.39:1 release print). The copyright year has been changed from 1999 to 1998. Other 'CropScope' films listed with an asterisk (indicating the photographic process hadn't been identified until now) are as follows: APAFOLD, AS IF I AM NOT THERE, BACHELORETTE, BROKEN WENDAHL, BROWNIAN MOVEMENT and BUTTER.

THE ALTARPIECE MAKER (1969): Definitely shot with anamorphic lenses, but the opening titles don't mention the photographic format, and neither do contemporary ad-mats.

ANGRY TIGER (1973): The Chinese title has been confirmed at the Hong Kong Movie Database (HKMDb). The copyright year has also been confirmed (there had been some doubt about it until now).

THE APPARITION: The copyright year has been changed from 2011 to 2012.
ATOLLADERO (1995): The film's closing credits confirm it was shot in Panavision.

L'AVOCAT (Fr - 2010): This was shot with spherical lenses for a 1.85:1 release print, so the entry has now been dropped from the filmog.

BEFORE AND AFTER VICTORY (1966): Shot with anamorphic lenses, though the format remains unidentified.

The film currently listed as BLOOD OF DRAGON PERIL was released in its native S.Korea as A MAN WITH SEVEN FACES, which now becomes the primary title (Dragon Peril becomes an AKA). The Korean title has also been added to the entry. The director has been properly identified ('Rocky Man', indeed!), and the copyright year changed from 1980 to 1978.

BORN OF FIRE: According to an update at the HKMDb, this is a Taiwanese production, not Hong Kong as currently listed, and the copyright year is 1980, not 1975. The original Chinese title, however, has still not been identified.

The film currently listed as Budo: Grand Masters of the Martial Arts (HK - 1982) is actually BUDO: THE ART OF KILLING [永遠なる武道], a Japanese film produced in 1979 and released in the US as BUDO. However, it appears to have been shot in the Academy ratio (1.37:1), so I've dropped it from the filmography.

I listed ONE WAY TRIP (Swz/Austria - 2011) as a scope movie in the entry for 24 Mar 2012, but this turns out to have been a mistake, since it was shot and released at 1.85:1. That entry has since been amended.

The English title for TÊTE DE TURC (2010) is TURK'S HEAD.
