Unknown SB-Actor(12)
And Mr Big Ears himself...

And Mr Big Ears himself...

This one's tough since this guy's always been to me a twin brother of Chou Hsiao-lai separated at birth , I'd say he's 胡波 Hu Po/Woo Bo/Wu Po with 75% confidence. If any of you guys have any of his HKFA credits (he's really under-credited there too) available on video to crosscheck, you can do the honor of filling in my 25% uncertainty either way.

[Michael Kistner]

I can check soon KNIGHT OF KNIGHTS and RAW COURAGE (if nobody else want to do it). Someone have the other movies listed at Wu Por:

?

[Michael Kistner]

Checked RAW COURAGE and KNIGHT OF KNIGHTS with the possible name listed on the hkmdb.

RAW COURAGE:
Unknown 12 is in the movie - but only for one scene as extra!

KNIGHT:
I did not see him in the movie (but the name Wu Por is also not in the movie cast list on the opening titles)

You have proof for your possible ID?

[kenichiku]

Must I? Oh okay...had to rummage my basement & search real hard but I found what I based my hunch on (from an old Movie News article) for you guys:

Even with this photo, I'm not certain but I remember this guy's Dumbo ears.

Your call. I give the pic, you the thousand words.

[Michael Kistner]

Thanks for your search.

I think it is not "12" on that image. I check in the next few days again KNIGHT OF KNIGHTS and RAW COURAGE and make images (if possible) of the actor on the image.

[Gaijin84]

I'll add the possible names as aliases for now

[Michael Kistner]

I checked again RAW COURAGE and KNIGHT OF KNIGHTS and I think I found the correct Wu Por. See the images of the two movies (sorry for the size - I only have the VCDs):

I did more IDs on other cast pages and added the name to a few movies I saw the actor on that images. The name Wu Por is not in the credits of all that movies.

If someone not agree with the IDs or part of it - let me know! I was not 100 percent sure with all images.

[kenichiku]

I think it is not "12" on that image

Probably right, not the same dude. There were a handful of older big-headed big-eared extras during that time I couldn't tell apart. Well as I see by process of elimination, you did put the image to good use.

[Gaijin84]

those pics you ID'd as Wu Por certainly all look like the same person to me...

[kenichiku]

I was not 100 percent sure with all images

Sound more sure than my 75%.

you ID'd as Wu Por certainly all look like the same person to me...

Well I have more doubt about my picks than surety. All these guys are starting to look alike, especially if they have big ears...I need some eye-drops & new contacts.

[Young Master]

Just added him in the cast for The Himalayan (1976).

[Michael Kistner]

ID of "Actor 12"! His name is Lam Yin. Proof:

I update soon the cast list of BODY FOR SALE (strange, but entertaining movie) with many more names and make a cast page of the movie.

[Harlock]

Awesome Job Michael !!! congrats!!!

[Gaijin84]

fantastic!

[dleedlee]

Excellent!

I might have a previous alias . I'm trying to get some captures tonight.

[dleedlee]

I went back and looked at the credits of Vampire Woman in both HKFA and the vcd. Ol' Mr Big Ears (MBE) is credited as Lam Yuen ??, one of the elders, along with Ko Lo Chuen and Yeung Yip Wang.

I've created a temporary entry from the HKFA entries for ?? as Lam Yuen (4).
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng

Also found him, again credited as ?? Lam Yuen as one of Sek Kin's fitness students, in Backyard Adventures.

And a fuzzy close up from Backyard Adventures


So, I propose Lam Yuen (4) be merged with Lam Yin

This Lam Yuen ?? may also possibly be MBE (except last entry) but I don't have any of these films.

[Michael Kistner]

Great work.

I agree that we should merge Lam Yin with Lam Yuen (4)?? and with Lam Yuen ?? - he has a good role in HAPPY TRIO.

?? should be the main name in my opinion.

You want to do the work? If not I do the merges in one of the next two weekends.

[dleedlee]

I don't mind doing the merge. I'm out of town at the moment. When I get back in a couple days I will go ahead and make the changes.
