I believe the one on the right with the grey shirt and the moustache is Tang Chia.

Also on the right with the cap and ... the beard(y) can only be Leung Kar Yan.

Of course next to them there's Ti Lung looking pretty old...

Lo Meng in the center giving the peace sign...

Gordon Liu on the left with the RL shirt and the jean coat.

That pretty much sums up who I can recognize...

There are a couple of others faces that ring a bell but I can't put a name on those faces...

Oh, for a higher-resolution picture. Still, let's see:

Looks like Chan Wei Man, back row, third from the left...

Ku Feng in the back row (fourth from right) wearing a black t-shirt...

Kong Do, almost framed out of view behind Beardy...

Chen Kwan Tai with a big 'tache in between Beardy and Ti Lung...

Lin Yung at the front with the glasses and black shirt, I think...

Chin Siu Ho front and centre...

Front row, baseball cap - Yueh Hua?

I'm sure this will be hugely embarrassing once someone figures out who they are, but I really don't recognise the ladies.

I don't think so. She was in JIANG HU a couple of years ago, and LADY FLOWER FIST not too long before that, and she's always pretty recognisable.

I think it might be Lily Li in the front next to Chin Siu Ho... But if I stare at this any longer my eyes are going to burst.

Oh man, the older lady in the front with the hat is Ivy Ling Po.

ok what bout the backrow, next to the lady with the bugeyed sunglasses. Black Blazer with white shirt. Is that the guy that played the ninja leader in 5 Element Ninjas? His name escapes me right now

The second lady from the far backrow on the left is the most famous voice dubbing singer Tsing Ting. I love her voice. Gosh, Chan Wei Man still looks cool.

I wouldn't have got that one in a million years, thanks. Her and the lady with the sunglasses are awfully intriguing back there.

Let's see.....

From left : Tanny in black, veteran singer Tsin Ting in sunglasses, Ai Ti, the one in pink is Jen Chieh (male impersonator of 1962's Dream Of The Red Chamber) and the one in white is Chiao Chiao.

Between Chen Kuan Tai and Ku Feng is Linda Chu.

There is no Li Ching or Ivy Ling Po in this picture.

Squatting with black hat is Shaw Yin Yin and that's Lily Li with jeans-like shirt.

The guy in the flamboyant Cowboy hat in the background is the flamboyant Jimmy Lin Chong, star of The Singing Thief, The Singing Escort and Tropicana Interlude.

Squatting next to Chen Siu Ho is baddie Chen Hung Lieh.

Can't decide which one is Norman Tsui and which one is Liu Yung. I guess the one in shades is Liu Yung on closer inspection.

Isn't that Norman Tsui Siu Keung on the right of Chan Wai Man?

My eyesight is pretty poor at the mo, though, so I may be mistaken.

Man, am I the only one who's always depressed to see Ti Lung looking so old?

Time catches up with everyone of course but I HATE seeing my idols age...:(

It would be great to think he still busts some moves, wouldn't it?! :D

Lovely picture, by the way, Teako! :D

Shame Derek Yee wasn't there, for whatever reason - although I understand he's more or less disassociated himself from his Shaws days. Sad.

Tsin Ting may be well into her 70s but I have just received confirmation that she will be holding concerts on Nov 23, 24, 25 at the new concert hall in Kowloon Bay that seats 3,500. Her guests will be singing legends Wu Ying Ying and Winnie Wei who are her contemporaries. This is one concert I must attend.

Everytime i see the former shaw stars today, i always wondered how fu sheng would have looked now had he lived. Hard to picture him in his 50s

why has derek yee distanced himself from shaw these days?

He's doing a lot more directing and producing movies on his own these days. I believe he's won a HK movie award for a independent film called, "One Nite In Mongkok". Here's a review from Love HKFilm.com:

Thanks for sharing that shaw brother pic. Geez, Ti Lung didn't age very well compared to like David Chiang. I know David isn't in the picture but I've seen what he looks like now. His physical appearance looks good other than gaining some weight. Ti Lung's face has aged and sagged a bit. But despite all of that they will always be favorite Shaw brother actors.:D

I think it's just a bad shot of Ti Lung, he's has aged worse then some of his fellow Shaw stars, I'm sure a lot of that has to do with him losing his hair, he still looks like he's well conditioned. I think Ti was an underrated Martial artist, he actually trained and I'm sure could of kicked some ass back in the day.

I think Ti Lung looks fine - the problem with this photograph is that his eyes are half-closed, and as any avid tabloid reader will tell you, this is a sure way to make the subject look like they've just had a stroke.

And if that's Shaw Yin Yin, the hand of time has been cruel.

Yes, I am positive that's Shaw Yin Yin as I have seen her on TV recently and she looked dreadful. She was being interviewed and she sounded like an old woman.
