Will capture some screenshots next... quite a lot of unfamilar faces in this film (and our credits for it are rather bare).

Far too many unknown people for me to post here, so head over to the images page and see if you recognise anyone :)

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/images.mhtml?id=7814&display_set=eng

Some of the major ones, with role names that can be added once they're ID'd:

1. Flying Monkey (not Chimp)
Image

2. Wing Chun's Dad & Sister
Image

3. Shop keeper, Scholar Wong's sidekick, Waise Lee
Image

4. Master of ceremonies (or something like that)
Image

5. Inn-keeper (centre)
Image

6. Marries Wing Chun's Sister
Image

7. Spear fighter
Image

Practically everyone else can be listed as "Bandit" :p

Believe it or not, the credited cast was complete.

Added 2 prod. companies, pres.-prod., 1 prod. manager, planner, assist. directors, mus., editor, costumes, gaffer and sound.

WebPAC has a longer credited cast (with roles!) but I do not know where they found it!

Flying monkey is played by Chui A Fai (崔亞輝) new name.
Sister is played by Jin Mao Heng (金懋恆) new name.
Father is played by Guo Chia Ching (郭家慶) new name.
MC is probably "sorcerer" played by Zhang Lien Zhong (張連仲) new name.
Inn kepper is played by Huang Feng Chao (王鳳朝) new name.
Husband of sister of WC [WC means Wing Chun] is played by Zhang Xu Ting (張旭廷) new name.

According the the HKFA, this movie was released in March 1994.

Hmmm, I guess somebody recognised them :p Perhaps they're mainland actors? The film was shot in Beijing.

All the support cast are credited **with roles** (hooray!) at the end of the film.
With only three exceptions (which I added and updated), they are mainland unknowns (bugger!).

It's good to see these pics, as I was wondering who the hell was that old man and the young girl. Having just watched the film again, I couldn't spot any dialogue which referred to the old man as Wing Chun's Dad or the girl as her sister.

The old man chastised Wing Chun for being unmarried because her sister is getting married, the person who gets married is the girl in the picture, and she refers to the old man as "dad". QED, they are Wing Chun's sister + dad :p

At least that's how it is in the HKL subtitles :)

Nice work updating the cast!

Nice work. Clearly, it was just too subtle for me :(
