claimes she will be Lee Hung - It must be Lee Hung (4) cause she been in "From the Highway" too - but her Name is not on the poster in prominent position - but who the hell is that Baak Ling with only 1 credit who looks like a female name?

That sure looks like Lee Hung (4) to me. Perhaps she was credited as Baak Ling in this film.

Baak Ling is identified from a reliable Expert : kenichiku !!
She's Taiwanese star Pai Ling (Bak Ling in cantonese).

Interesting that you mention our friend Falkor, besides seeing him posting some of his official Cathay publicity materials online a few years back, I suspect he's closer to being correct than we can ever be as I recall him owning a set of 35mm reels of 'From the Highway' being one of his 'restoration projects' over there yonder in the UK.
