  • Stephen Chow as Sing, a loser in life who aspires to join the Axe Gang. He attempts many misdeeds to produce a self-image of a "bad guy" but his deeds all fail miserably or backfire.
  • Yuen Qiu as the Landlady of Pig Sty Alley. Selfish and domineering, she is a chain smoker with a loud voice, a side effect of her mastery of a technique known as the Lion's Roar, a skill used by the "Golden Haired Lion King" Xie Xun in Louis Cha's novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
  • Yuen Wah as the Landlord of Pig Sty Alley. He is lecherous and trouble-seeking. He is also a master of taijiquan.
  • Danny Chan as Brother Sum, the shady leader of the Axe Gang. The Axe Gang is the most feared gang in Shanghai, and controls many casinos, nightclubs and restaurants. The gang is notorious for its axe-wielding gangsters.
  • Bruce Leung as the Beast, a kungfu master, rumoured to be the most dangerous person alive, though belied by his unkempt appearance. He has killed many in his journey to find a worthy opponent all to no avail. Therefore, he had himself committed to a mental asylum, until Sum freed him to deal with the Landlord and his wife. The final move he used on Sing, the "Toad Skill", is practised by "Western Venom" Ouyang Feng, a villain in Louis Cha's Condor Trilogy novel series.
  • Xing Yu as the Coolie, a kungfu specialist specializing in Twelve Kicks of the Tam School.
  • Chiu Chi-ling as Fairy, the effeminate Tailor of Pig Sty Alley. This retired kungfu specialist specialises in the art of Hung Ga Iron Fist Kungfu and he fights with iron rings on his arms.

  • Tin Kai-Man as Brother Sum's adviser
  • Gar Hong-hay and Fung Hak-on as the Harpists, two killers hired by the Axe Gang to wipe out the Coolie, Tailor and Donut. Their instrument is the guqin, or "Chinese harp".

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Cassius is aweary of the world:
    Hated by one he loves; braved by his brother;
    Checked like a bondman; all his faults observed,
    Set in a notebook, learned and conned by rote
    To cast into my teeth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “For such despite they cast on female wits:
    If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
    They’ll say it’s stol’n, or else it was by chance.”
    —Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
