Yeah, the names are from the ending credits on the Mei Ah DVD.

As For To Siu Ming, look HERE, third from the bottom.

Dang, you managed to reply as I was editing my reply

You can find out where To Siu Ming is in Odd Couple by visiting the link applied above to the Jackiechanssx site:)

And yes the Mei Ah credits seem to have replaced the original credits.

ID'd

[MrBooth]

Added some more IDs and role names thanks to Jackiechanssx's gallery. Don't think it's Yuen Biao playing "Dog Face" though...

[MrBooth]

lol, I listened to the first 30 mins of Bey Logan's commentary to see if he ID'd anybody else (he didn't, but points out some places where Yuen Biao is doubling Lau Kar Wing), and when he talks about "some reviews on the internet" he looked at as research for the commentary, I think he's talking about my old HKMDB review I totally rewrote it last night though :p

Might not have been mine specifically, but I'm curious... Bey, are you out there???

[bkasten]

By the way, MrBooth, those are some wonderful screen captures you uploaded to the DB...

Thank you! The HKL dvd has good image quality, so they should take at least some of the credit

[MrBooth]

Still to be ID'd:

1. Swordsman Wu... Chu Chi Ling?


2. Thug on the right


3. Tea shop staff


4. Dog Face, the sabre maker (definitely not Yuen Biao!)


5. Orange seller


6. Praying at shrine - the mysterious Not Fung Ging Man?


7. Praying at shrine


8. Villager, soon to be in an angry mob (not Sammo!)


9. Lady with a wiggle in her step


10. Cross-eyed messenger: ID'd as Yue Tau Wan (not To Siu Ming!)

11. ID'd as Cheung Chok Chow (one I should know by now!)

12. Angry mob


13. Watching the birds fight

[heinz Germany]

Pic 11 looks like Cheung Chok Chow

[AkiraRus]

Got a cap of the cross-eyed messenger - Bey Logan IDs him as To Siu Ming in the commentary track too, but I'm not convinced to be honest... he definitely has the cross-eye, but he looks too young to be TSM:

1979:

1981:

It's Ma Chao in the first picture (Yue Tau Wan in the base), not To Siu-Ming - another famous cross-eyed actor from the era.

[MrBooth]

Yep, you have me utterly convinced on that

Added to cast list & image, deleted To Siu Ming.

11 is Cheung Chok Chow
1 is not Chu Chi Ling
6 is not the mysterious Not Fung Ging Man

I need to confirm this with my teacher, but I believe Swordsman Wu is Che Wing-Ming (Alexander Tse).



Master Tse was a Si Hing to my teacher and I remember it mentioned that he was in this film with a rather major role. I'll try to confirm over the next couple weeks.
