Cast list errors in IMDB

I'm pretty sure the cast of EXECUTIONERS is wrong on IMDB. It says that Anthony Wong plays the character of Kau. I think he should be credited with playing "Master Kim" (chief bad guy).

The character of Kau was played by Wong in HEROIC TRIO. Though it's not clear, I believe the character of Kau does return in EXECUTIONERS, seen as the bandaged, pre-verbal fighter who accompanies Ching (Michelle Yeoh) during the first half of the film. There's no indication on any of the other sites who plays this character, or even whether it is actually Kau.

Most other sites that cover Asian Cinema credit Anthony Wong with playing head villain, Master Kim, also called "The Black Knight" in some versions of the movie.

Also - who on earth is the guy in the U.S. Cavalry hat that battles Ching at the 62 minute and 78 minute marks? Is he supposed to be the same guy that opens fire on the crowd of protestors with a silenced weapon 20 minutes into the picture?

Hope someone can help, though given just how hopelessly muddled EXECUTIONERS is, I don't feel very optimistic ...

Well, for those who still care after 10 years, lol, I watched this film when I was a kid and just get to rewatch it for nostalgic purposes.

In the Chinese wiki page of EXECUTIONERS, it says Anthony Wong plays both Kau and Master Kim's characters. I believe he at least voiced Kau himself as his "groans" sounds the same as in the first film.

I know older HK films tend to use voice actors to re-voice the characters but some actors do voice their own characters(like Anita Mui voiced herself in this film(but not in the first one), many of the characters were voiced by different actors though.). Having grown up watching Anthony Wong's I can safely says its his own voice in both films, for Kau and Kim's. Although these mean nothing if you watched either dubbed English or Chinese version.

The hatted hitman were played by Vincent Lau Tak, he is not the gunner in the protest as the gunner was the wanted man caught by Chat(thief catcher) who later killed Takeshi Kaneshiro's character with a bomb.:
