You could start your own HKMDB if all you had was the credits to this film & The Banquet :p

Amazingly enough I can ID practically everyone in the film Well, I had a tiny bit of help from the Bey Logan commentary Updated lots of role names/descriptions.

1. Train robber (not Yuen Kwai). ID'd: Billy Ching Sau Yat

2. Train robber - Paul Chang Chung

3. Fat woman (another familar face but never remembered her name)


4. Blind girl.


5. Bank manager - Hsu Hsia?

ah, got a better one of him...


6. Wang Yu & Sek Kin's kids


7. Billy Lau's mistress


8. Young Sammo


9. Sammo's mum... you never get a good look at her (she's only in it for that one shot!). Looks a bit like Meg Lam?


10. Bey Logan informs me this is (Pauline) Wong Yuk Waan, who was married to Wu Ma... correct?


11. Helen Au Hoi Lun?


12. Philip Ko Fei

13. Richard Ng's mistress


14. Yuen Tak, Lau Kar Wing & ?


15. Mr Nostrils - still can't remember his name


16. Is this Chow Gam Kong? If so, he seems to be moonlighting as a fireman in this shot?


Might be a few more people to ID in the image gallery!

3. Fat Woman - Tsui Oi Sam?

15 i think its yeung sai gwan
16 is chow gam kong
5 is not hsu hsia
14 i think is Lee Chi Git (1)

3, Tsui Oi Sam - Yes! Should have remembered she was in Treasure Hunters since it's only a few weeks since I saw it

15, Yeung Sai Gwan - yes, definitely. Should have remembered him from Fake Ghost Catchers, since I saw that even more recently!

16 Chow Gam Kong - Have to take your word for it... I guess that shot's from before they've changed into thieving clothes

14 Lee Chi Git (1)? Does look like him but I'm not sure either so I won't add him yet.

14 Yuen Tak, Lau, Cheung Wing Cheung (2)

Wow! Your credits had very good image quality, so I deciphered a lot of people more!

(also added a portrait to Ms. Rothrock, I know it has not "Bruce size" but better this than nothing... )

Added 1 planner, 2 art directors more, 2nd unit cinematographer, 3rd. unit cinematographer, 4th unit cinematographer, 5th (:shock: !) unit
cinematographer, with their respective 5 gaffers, of course , and 14 (!) actors more!

Ooh, 14 more actors? Now I have to go and find them all in my captures!

Were there no more credits for action directors/ass.ac.dirs? In the interview on the disc Yuen Biao talks about the fact they had 4 separate action teams shooting simultaneously on the set for the final brawl There's so many action directors in the cast they probably just choregraphed themselves :p

Oh, btw - in the Bey Logan commentary he mentions that the scene with Alfred Cheung in has been removed from every cut of the film he's seen (at least 4 versions)... so not sure if he should be credited or not? Perhaps with a role description "not in final cut(s)"?

In this case specifically all the action directors were credited under "Sammo Stuntmen Team"...

But thanks to Mr. Bearserk I found that "Project A Part II" has all their 18 (!) action directors credited!

We have to wait to hear Mr. Kistner's opinion... maybe Alfred appears in some reflexion or something like that.

"We have to wait to hear Mr. Kistner's opinion... maybe Alfred appears in some reflexion or something like that"

I can't remember seeing him in the movie. I also don't remember seeing Patrick Tse, Chin Siu Ho and Anthony Chan.
So Hang Suen could be the mother.

I take a look in the movie in the next days.

chin siu ho is in the movie, at the speech with the prostitute... (universe version)

Now Michael prove me he's human and he can make errors

at the speech with the prostitute...

That scene's not in the HKL cut of the film

I didn't see Patrick Tse or Anthony Chan either... same scene?

I also don't find the scene with Chin Siu Ho at my old tape (CHINATOWN VIDEO, uncut).
I also did not see Alfred Cheung, Anthony Chan, Kam Hing Yin and Patrick Tse. And I think many other cast members listed at "Guest stars" like Dik Boh Laai and Danny Yip are most likely also not in the movie.

if you don't find him its not uncut

2 womens at the speech

That scene is not at my tape.
At a German review in the net it is mentioned that the Japan DVD has a different cut of the movie, who has more scenes as the Chinese versions, but also some cuts. It is mentioned that the Tai Seng version is the same. I guess that is your version.
Is Patrick Tse in your version of the movie?

the hkl dvd has more scene than the universe, but miss some scenes that were on the universe (the sammo speech and the ladies in the toilet)

i will have to check again some scenes to see if i see some guest stars...

michael, i was thinking you were having all your movies in dvd... does your shaw are in dvd or vhs ?

Can I upload those pics to the db?

sure

Dik Boh Laai?

"michael, i was thinking you were having all your movies in dvd... does your shaw are in dvd or vhs ?"

Many movies I have only on tape (because I had no DVD player when I started to be a HK movie fan and because many movies are not available on DVD/VCD).
The Celestial Shaw releases I have all on VCD. A few Shaw movies not released by Celestial I have on tape (many in German).

Sometimes I'm very happy to have the old tapes (or VCDs), because of the bad new sound effects DVDs sometimes have (examples: Sisters in Law, Triads -- The Inside Story, Treasure Hunt (Fat), Kung Fu vs. Acrobatic).
