Feng Shen Bang (封神榜,   Fēngshén Bǎng, lit. "Register of Deities") is a 1969 Taiwanese-Japanese tokusatsu fantasy film directed by Tetsuya Yamanouchi and Lin Chung-Kuang and written by Ting Shan-Hsi, with special effects by Masao Yagi. Produced by Taiwan's Eastern Film Enterprise, it employed numerous Japanese staff including Yamanouchi, Yagi, a cinematographer, a lighting technician, a production designer, a composer, an editor, and a team of special effects artists from Yagi's company Ex Productions. It adapts portions of the 16th-century Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods by Xu Zhonglin and Lu Xixing, and stars both You Long and Tse Ling-Ling as the folk hero Nezha (pre- and post-resurrection, respectively). Also starring are Ko Hsiang-Ting, Lu Bi-Yun, and Chen Hui-Mei, with special appearances by Lily Chen Ching, Feng Hai, Chang Feng, and Cheng Hung.

Notes

  1. ↑ Lee Mei-Mei was reportedly hired in the "winter of [1969]".[2] This must be referring to the first few months of the year rather than the final months, as the film had already premiered by fall.
