added Producer :P and Composer (Wong Fook-Ling still had no alias as Wang Fu-Ling yet..) and 7 more actors.. added 37 portraits plus 4 crew screenshots (who is the second MA Instructor?)
Can't recall if the actress in Row 3 and 4 is the same but don't think so:
Row 3 Rape victim in opening scene
Row 4 Daughter of killed master

But there are no Gai Yuen (80%) and no Angela Yu Chien (100%) in the movie but Yu Wei - that's why I deleted them out of the cast list

Added a cover scan with actors credits - maybe it contains the actress name...

FYI, fighting instructor 'Han Kuo' may be an alias for 'Han Ying Chieh'.

Yes, I discussed that topic with Mr. Booth when we added the crew credits of "The Crimson Charm"... maybe you are right... but why? Ying-Chieh used his real name in other Shaw Bros. movies of this period... :?

Maybe he was not happy with those movies action scenes when sharing the responsibility with an other action director and took a synonym?
