Note at bottom of article?

Hey, I just saw that big note added to the bottom of the article. I'm going to leave it there for the moment until I can either confirm or disconfirm it, even though it's not really good Wikipedia style. Is there anyone who can help, or who has information about it? Also, if the person who made those edits could post here, it'd be great. Kupos 00:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography Addition

I will work on completing this in the near future as well as adding articles for individual movies. Obviosly I haven't seen all of Mr Ho's films so if anyone has seen any, please help out. Eljobo —Preceding comment was added at 08:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese name

I've added some more info on Mr. Ho's name(s), including an alternate Chinese name used by the Hong Kong Film Archive and a couple of other sources. You'll notice I didn't provide any pronunciation information for these names because I can't figure out how they're supposed to be pronounced -- I suspect both names are homophones, but 强 has three different readings in both Mandarin and Cantonese (qiáng/qiǎng/jiàng, koeng4/koeng5/goeng6) and I don't know which one was intended. The IMDb lists the alternate name "Zhi Jiang He" (Hé Zhìjiàng, which corresponds to Cantonese Ho4 Zi3 Goeng6), but I'm disinclined to rely on them as a definitive source. Does anyone know the correct pronunciation? 122.4.116.167 (talk) 12:41, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the pics should be removed

And especially the first one, which right now might suggest it's actually our man Godfrey who's dressed as a Shaolin warrior monk, which I think is not the case. (I guess.) A replacement would if someone made a photo like this and posted to the Commons.

Also, I guess the article should be toned down somewhat. You know, like calling bathsit insane people "eccentric", doing "unusual" things. Also, guidelines for living persons you know. An I actually love this guy. --Asperchu (talk) 12:00, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ninja Strike Force

Why does Ninja Strike Force redirect to this article? There is no mention of the phrase in this article itself. The deletion discussion on the previous Ninja Strike Force article doesn't reveal the link to Godfrey Ho. The outcome of the linked discussion was to keep, and I am not able to find why the article was subsequently deleted. In any event, Ninja Strike Force should be redirected to Cult of the Dead Cow. Rainjar (talk) 10:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ninja Strike Force is one of his many films, the reason it isn't mentioned on the page is because it'd be almost impossible to provide a filmography - we might as well let IMDB do all the heavy lifting there. (Emperor (talk) 16:36, 3 March 2012 (UTC))[reply]
