In the above end credits image...who is the person below "Tai San"? I can only read as far as "Law Man" and don't know the last character.
Additionally, Peggy Chan Pui Kei is not in this film (as creditted in the DB entry). She is not creditted in the film itself, as evidenced above, and the photo image on her DB entry does not match anyone in the film. Thereby, she can be safely removed from the film's credits.
NB: Anyone considering purchasing the recently released DVD boxset of the two POSSESSED films would best be warned that the prints Fortune Star supplied Joy Sales Film & Video with have been largely desaturated of some primary colours during the restoration process -- with the first film sorely lacking in yellow and blue hues (skintones are a bizarre hybrid of pinkish red & orange, and many scenes are so lacking in their necessary blue hues that they look grey; in one scene, it's impossible to make out the blue eyeshadow that the actress playing Gary Siu's Korean girlfriend is wearing, as the whole scene has been manipulated into a mish-mash of oranges, browns and reds). Just a friendly heads-up...
Edit point: The second film doesn't suffer as badly from the first's overblown colour correction...but sadly it appears to be taken from a print that has had several small cuts inflicted on most all of the adult/horror scenes. Deleted footage from some of the scenes can be seen in the trailer included on the disc -- nudity and excess gore have been truncated quite noticeably. Thereby, of the new disc-set: first film is uncut with awful colour correction -- second film fares better in the colour department but less so on the completeness side of things
