Lots to ID here, but obviously tough.

ID/added Tsang Ming-Cheong
ID of Chen Chin-Hai

I disagree with the ID of Betty Ting Pei. She is not in the cast list, and I don't think she is in the film.

[Gaijin84]

I'm pretty sure that the second credit from the right is Betty Ting Pei's alias唐珮.

[Bruce]

It looks to me like the credited names of the two main stars are probably made up to sound like the persons they are portraying in this film.

Was this purported alias ever linked with Betty Ting elsewhere?

In the HKFA entry for this film it says Lai Siu Lung is an alias for Bruce Li (Ho Chung Tao) but it makes no similar note about Tong Pooi.

Was this purported alias ever linked with Betty Ting elsewhere?

calros - did you add this alias from this movie? Or was it already here from a different entry?

[calros]

I think it was me.

HKFA does not list all aliases in their credits.

Ting Pei had 2 aliases more, Tong Mei Lei and Ting Pei so I am very sure this third alias is right too.

But if you are sure she is not Betty we can create a new person, no problem.

[Gaijin84]

I'll get a few more ID pics of the actress to confirm it's not Ting Pei. Give me a day or so.

[Gaijin84]

OK, here is another shot of the main actress and then a shot of Betty Ting Pei: definitely not the same person.



The more I read about her, there is no way she appeared in a movie less than a year after his death. I've removed the ID.

I guess a new actress should be created.

Thanks Bruce!

[calros]

I think they are the same person but well, you are 2 against 1.

If nobody stops me in 15 days I will split them.

[Gaijin84]

I agree, the actress is a dead ringer for Ting Pei. However, after reading about her and the fact that she produced her version of the events with "Bruce Lee and I" in 1976, I doubt she would have made this film just a year after his death that threw nearly every rumor about the two and her issues into the plot.

Here is a quick bio of Betty Ting Pei from Wikipedia - again, from what is described here, I would be very surprised if she was in this initial Brucesploitation film.
