Lin Ke-Ming

AKA Ku Ming, Lam Hak Ming, Lam Hark Ming.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
I am not absolutely sure about this one, but I think he plays one of the two men sent to follow Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu) after he’s defeated at Lotus Mountain the first time, in hopes of finding where he and his friends live. He’s fooled by Wei-Ting’s trick of masquerading as a waiter.

Ng Git-Keung

AKA Wu Jie Jiang.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays one of the two men sent to follow Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu) after he’s defeated at Lotus Mountain the first time, in hopes of finding where he and his friends live. He’s fooled by Wei-Ting’s trick of masquerading as a waiter.

Ho Kei-Chong

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays one of the guards outside the gate of Lotus Mountain who try to prevent Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu) from entering the first time he comes to fight the White Lotus (Lo Lieh).

Fung Hak-On

AKA Feng Ke An, Kean Feng, Feng Ko An, Fong Hark On.
Long-time Hong Kong stunt man, actor, and fight choreographer. I mostly know him as a frequent collaborator with Jackie Chan, but he did some work for the Shaws when he was young and it always tickles me to see his face, so I’ll mention him when I spot him.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it part (in fact, so brief that I’m not even sure it’s him), plays one of the thugs who murder the men rebuilding the Shaolin Temple.

To Wing-Leung

Talk about typecasting...I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play anything but an ancient priest.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays the ancient priest overseeing, and collecting donations for, the rebuilding of the Shaolin Temple.

Yeung Ching-Ching


AKA Yeung Jing Jing, Yang Jing Jing.



Clan of the White Lotus
Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays Siu-Ching, fiancee of Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu) and sister of...well, I’m not sure. Wu Ah Biao (Lee King-Chu), I think, but possibly Mei-Hsiao (Kara Hui). Anyway, a formidable swordswoman despite her youth and petite figure who dies heroically, killed by the White Lotus (Lo Lieh) while covering the escape of Mei and Wei-Ting.

Wilson Tong

AKA Tang Wei Cheng, Tong Wai Seng.
A character actor, great at playing slimy sub-villains.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays Pai Mei, a holdover villain from Executioners from Shaolin, the 1977 film that this one is neither really a remake of nor a sequel to. The character, then played by Lo Lieh, dies at the end of the other movie, and again at the beginning of this one, in two different places via two different means in fights with three different characters. Go figure.
