First up, a smorgasbord of AKA's for existing entries in the scope filmography: 100 MONSTERS is an AKA for THE HUNDRED MONSTERS (1968), while BLIND SWORDSMAN: FIGHT, ZATOICHI, FIGHT is an AKA for FIGHT, ZATOICHI, FIGHT (1964). On a similar note, THE BLIND SWORDSMAN'S REVENGE is an AKA for ZATOICHI'S REVENGE (1965), while DEATHWORK is an AKA for CAPTAIN APACHE (1971).
Just to prove there's more where that lot came from: DJANGO, KILL... IF YOU LIVE, SHOOT! is an AKA for SE SEI VIVO, SPARA (1967), while TEXAS, ADIOS is an AKA for TEXAS, ADDIO (1966). Confusingly, THE VAMPIRE WOMAN is an AKA for VAMPIRE MAN (1959). And lastly, ZOMBIE HELL HOUSE is an AKA for QUELLA VILLA ACCANTO AL CIMITERO (1981).
The film listed as SHAOLIN MONK FIGHTS BACK should be listed under the primary title THE WANDERING MONK (1980). The latter title is currently given as an AKA, but the two should now be reversed (see revised entry, below).
On a similar note, the AKA for SUEÑO Y SILENCIO (2011) currently listed as Dream and Silence should be given as THE DREAM AND THE SILENCE.
The film currently listed as Agi Murad: Il Diavolo Banco should be given as AGI MURAD: IL DIAVOLO BIANCO (1958). Similarly, the on-screen title of Fatal Needles vs. Fatal Fist is actually FATAL NEEDLES FATAL FIST (1978), while Il Giorno dell'Ira should be IL GIORNI DELL'IRA (1967).
Gary Couzens writes to confirm that BAD BOY BUBBY (1993) was shot with anamorphic Technovision lenses, not Super 35. This was a genuine surprise to me, since every reference source which bothers to mention a photographic format for this film lists it as Super 35. I've even seen the damn thing myself (many, many moons ago) and I didn't know it was anamorphic until Gary supplied me with frame-grab evidence from a current DVD which clinched the deal - Technovision it is! Thanks, Gary.
Gary also writes to say that TEN CANOES (2006) has some colour sequences and isn't wholly in black and white, as currently listed. The film is also co-directed by Peter Djigirr.
Based on a personal viewing of the film itself, the copyright date of DEVIL'S BRIDGE has been changed from 2010 to 2011. Meanwhile, LA FILLE DE DRACULA is 1972, not 1971.
Originally due for release in 2012, G.I. JOE: RETALIATION has been held back until spring 2013 for re-shoots and the addition of 3-D.
KILLER PRIEST is an AKA for SHAOLIN MONK (1977), whose director - currently given as Lam Fook-dei - should actually be listed as Lin Fu-ti.
The director of LEGEND OF BRUCE LEE (1976) is Ling Ping.
And the on-screen title of Roman Polanski's version of 'The Scottish Play' is THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH (1971) and not Macbeth: The Tragedy of Macbeth as currently given.
