Per Doctor Lam...
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mht ... ay_set=eng

Danny Lee - Inspector Li
Simon Yam - Lam Gor Yu
Kent Cheng - Fat Bing
Lau Siu Ming - Lam's father
Parkman Wong - Buffalo Hung
Emily Kwan - Bo
Perrie Lai - Lam's step-sister
Wong Siu Ling - Leung Wing Yin
Wong Wing Fong - Chau Sau Lan
Julie Lee - Leung Man Ling
Eric Kei - Eric

All character names as directly referred to in the English subtitles translation (which may be slightly erroneous, but it's better than what the entry has at present).

If nobody stops me in 7 days I will change:

Parkman Wong - Buffalo Hung
Emily Kwan - Bo
Perrie Lai - Lam's step-sister
Wong Siu Ling - Leung Wing Yin
Wong Wing Fong - Chau Sau Lan
Julie Lee - Leung Man Ling

I will keep the rest as they are.

Okay...I was going back through one of my old submissions for modifications in this title, and this is what I found on the database entry page...

"Parkman Wong Pak Man - [uncreditted]Buffalo Hung"

Now, I've been tracking back through the DVD (which bases its English subtitle stream on the film's theatrical subtitles) and, though I do not have the time to meticulously pore over every frame in the search for the one or two instances where Wong's character is referred to as "Buffalo" by Danny Lee's character...I did find the following:

So, though clearly not referred to as "Buffalo" in the grabs I've provided, Parkman Wong's character IS referred to by both the names "Bully Hung" and "Hung" in the English subtitles in these instances from the early passages of the film. Therefore, his character role is clearly NOT an "uncreditted" one! Of course, I could be getting my wires crossed here...

Additionally, per DOCTOR LAM, provided below are the names of all of Lam's victims, in sequence which matches against the sequence in which they are shown in the film. If someone with far more time on their hands than me wants to match Cat III actresses against the character names, then "Chan Kit Fong" is the second shown victim whom Lam dissects with a scalpel then carves up with a jigsaw.

Changed Bully.
"[uncredited]" means that the name of the actor (not the role) does not appear in the credits. In this case, PARKMAN WONG did not appear in the credits of this movie.

Aha! Apologies for the confusion there - I thought as the "uncreditted" notation sat next to the character name that was what it was referring.

I checked the film an umpteenth and final time (I'm not going back to it again as I've wasted FAR TOO MUCH time on it already) and I stand corrected, Calros, you're correct! Parkman Wong is only creditted in the opening titles as Co-Producer -- no cast credit for him in the end titles. Noice...

Cheers,
