Other than very minor characters, most have been identified, but one in particular needs to be ID'd, a pretty major character:

Never seen the film but clued by vintage & other actors, I think he resembles Yuen Chiang Ren:

(You can match up his dental work by comparing another shot of him with an open mouth to be sure).

Resembles, but I don't think it's him. From the same year, here is Yuen Chiang Ren.

The guy we're trying to ID was very rough looking... I'll pull a few more shots. He was a respectable martial artist and had about 10-15 minutes of screen time.

Don't know the name of the unidentified actor. But I believe I've seen him in a few movies and at one of bruce's cast pages.

Your Chow Siu-Loi is not correct. The actor at the image is a standard extra/supporting actor in a lot of movies and I don't know his name. If I remember it correct the real Chow appears as one of the three (?) masters searching James Yi at the beginning of the movie.

You have the cut version of the movie? I have the dubbed version who is only 65 minutes long and a subtitled one with many more scenes.

Thanks Michael - I made the correction and added a portrait of the real Chow Siu-Loi from the movie. Yes - he is one of the brothers of Chin Yuet-Sang at the beginning. I added a horrible shot (but only one available) of the other brother as well if anyone can tell who he is:

The version I saw was dubbed, but was 85 min. How many minutes is your subtitled version?

The other brother is Wong Kwok-Leung.

My subtitled version must be also 85 minutes long. My dubbed version was as "Snake Fist Dynamo" on a cheap 50 movie DVD box with 49 other "Eastern". Maybe it is a television version. I'm happy that not all dubbed versions are cut.
