This film is just now being released as Railroad to Hell: A Chinaman's Chance.  It has been re-edited by Dustin Ferguson and will be released by Ace Studios.  I tried creating a new page as it is a new film, but IMDb just added the correct title to this older title.  There is a new trailer and a new screener at Withoutabox under Railroad to Hell: A Chinaman's Chance and I can't figure out how to add the new trailer to this old title.  I am the publicist for Aki Aleong, an associate producer on the film and the vp of Aki Aleong's Mustard Seed Media Group. The new film will premiere at the San Diego Asian Film Festival in November 2018.  Should I create a new page for the film or how can I fix the title and the trailers on this old page?  Thank you for your help!

Hello, Donna. 

Usually re-edited movies are considered the same title, however there are exceptions (I have conducted a list of such cases I'm aware of). If the edits were so severe that it is effectively a very different movie, it might need a separate page, however if core of the movie remains the same then it probably should be elaborated on in the "Alternate Versions" section.

I agree. If there is discordance between one cut and another cut of the same overall production enough that the plots, characters, settings, themes or designs are noticeably different, then the two cuts might represent two separate entities, or like the (studio-scrapped) Donner-directed Superman II versus the (studio-promoted) Lester-directed Superman II, which have the roughly same of everything but with different executions. (There's another pair of movies I'm thinking of too released in the 1970s with a female lead; one with a blue poster, and the other with a yellow poster; possibly having the same title; but I don't remember the title.)

(Side note. I remember now. They are Jag är nyfiken - en film i gult and Jag är nyfiken - en film i blått, but they don't technically have different on-screen titles, not even different release dates; so never mind.)
