very valuable info!

added producers, prod. managers, action directors, phot., mus., ed., makeup, art dir. and 7 actors (I think Yau Gin-Kwok is not correct in our cast)

[Gaijin84]

If possible, can someone add the character names for these actors? It will help me decipher who is whom.

If you say me the roles of the actors, maybe I can tell you who is who.

[Gaijin84]

Here are the main actors/actresses:

Hung sister - ID'd as Ding Laam


the other Hung sister


Hung brother (shaolin monk)


Shaolin monk (Hung brother's friend)


Name sounds like Li Chun So, defends Hung sisters


Monkey Ho - attacks sister's dad and creates the feud


Ho Lien - Monkey Ho's dad, main villain at the end of film


Shepherd - Hung brother, uses a whip as weapon


Head Shaolin elder


Shaolin elder


Hung Yuen (Hung family father)


does this help?

[calros]

Lee Bing (2) is Hung Cai-Yun, (must the the sister Hung)
Ding Lam is Hung Cai-Xia
Nie Jian-Guo is the other Hung brother (shaolin monk)
Jin Hong is Li Zhong-Zhou / Li Chung-Chau (your Li Chun Sou)
Zhang Jian-Wen is the abbot
Yan Di-Hua is the abbot (other kind of abbot)
Qiu Fang-Jian is your Ho Lien
Ma Chun-Shan is Ho Ba-Lai (maybe your Monkey Ho)

Good! 5 identified! Now you can add them

All added! thank you very much calros

couple of things left... after the id's we still have no name for this guy:

he was a major character in the film, probably 4th billing. Seems strange that he was left out of the cast listing.

If no one objects by 3/23 (friday), I'm going to remove Yau Gin-Gwok from the cast. I can't see him in the pictures from the film.

I also propose a merge between:
Zhang Jian-Wen http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=31957&display_set=eng
and
Zhang Jian-Wen http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=16995&display_set=eng

the second one is in the same movies as the other cast from Shaolin Brothers and other mainland films from that time period. If no one objects I'll do a merge in 10 days.

Remeber that parentheses explaining roles are not necessary when roles have a name.

Are you sure that Zhang Jian-Wen plays Zhang Jian-Wen?

[Gaijin84]

whoops! fixed the Zhang Jian-Wen.

thanks for letting me know

[calros]

Seems strange that he was left out of the cast listing.

I think your credits are cut. It does not appear the director...

[Gaijin84]

my bad, this was the last credit
