#7. is indeed Lo Dun and the HKFA confirms it. I'm surprised that he is alive, no less still appearing in film. Nice catch.

I would have to agree :)

Here's a picture of Valerie Chow Kar-Ling from The Case of the Cold Fish for comparison.

Certainly a possibility - i'll add her for now to the cast list, and try to grab some more screenshots for comparisons. The 2nd and 5th pics on hkcinemagic.com seem to lend more credence to that ID.

I'll also add your shot from The Case for Cold Fish

thanks!

Decided to take some pictures of Valerie Chow from Street Angels as well

She have a rather unusal nose of you look at the second picture, also I'm not so sure anylonger that it is her when I look at her teeth, but you should be able to better verify that against your own pictures, her 2 front teeth which is a bit longer than the rest should be helpfull in that matter.

Valerie must be flattered that we're going through all this for her! :P

I'm going to try and get Ah Kam back so I can grab some more screenshots of her. She was in one other scene near the end of the movie. At this point I'm not sure at all what to think, as Ah Kam had a pretty complete cast list and she wasn't initially part of it.

I'll also add those pictures from Street Angels to her image gallery.

Let's revisit once I (or someone else) can grab a few more shots of her from Ah Kam.

If we find she's not Valerie Chow finally, i hope we find her real name !

PS : we've just added a Chow picture from Ghostly Bus. ;)

ok - to revive this seemingly endless ID of this woman from Ah Kam, here are some shots that should help - if anyone can translate the magazine headline from the first ID it might help, as she is the girl pictured on the cover...
I definitely think it is not Valerie Chow at this point... :?

#3 is Jessica Chow Jing.
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng

#2 looks nothing at all like Jessica Suen to me, but maybe it's the angle and the shadow's obscuring her face. *shrug*

#4 is Ngai Chau Wah.
