I think it's Lung Ying, although the flavour isn't great, could be Bak Mei (some of their forms are interchangeable anyway).

I saw once this:

If you look at Product "VCD#877 Wong Fei Hung 5 Horse Boxing" you see what I mean.

It's likely a branch of Lung Ying in Fut Shan. The form seems to be a version of Ng Ma Kwai Cho (five horses return to the stable). The form should gives a feeling of horses rushing towards stable/home. I don't know is it me but the Fut Shan MA community seems to favor the exaggerated movements. The circles are rather big for my taste. I prefer more compact structure and explosive dynamics. Considering the age of the exponent, it is a good performance and maintain Lung Ying's shape.

Just my opinions.

A lot of the foot work looks like Southern Tai tzu to me. The hands don't though.

[Yum Cha]

Once again, I'll have to agree with Mantis108. It looks like Loong Ying or Pak Mei flavoured Kung fu, but the circles are bigger and there is a bit more flourish that I would want my siDai to play. Being that its longer, and the name, I suspect it is indeed a rendition of a Dragon form, but I don't have the first hand knowledge to really know for sure.

My feeling is that the player had a knowledge of many martial arts and than learned this set because it shows lots of fundamentals that are not pure Pak Mei or Loong Ying, but there is a high "southern fist" skill level overall.

That does not seem like lung ying to me...

[Laukarbo]

Looks a lot like Hun Gar Bak Mei to me, but I'm not entirely certain.

For you Yum Cha!!

[Lama Pai Sifu]

Shaolin Master, you are correct! Although the form is a bit different from the Lama Version, it is Siu Lo Han Kuyhn. Wonder why it's mislabeled as Fut Ga??

A few things are fudged in the form but otherwise, he's pretty accurate.

Wonder why it's mislabeled as Fut Ga??

I was refering to this text...

VCD#879 Wong Fei Hung Buddha Fist
About an hour, See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

Fut Jia LuoHan Quan. Buddha Family Disciple Boxing. Being a Southern style there's more chance people recognize the Cantonese idiom of "Fut Gar LoHan" Boxing. Within the Wong Fei Hung branch this is the most distinctively Long Arm of all the sets. It almost resembles PiGua with special weight put on Big Opening and Big Closing. A nice looking set and a workout. Very different from some of the more Arrow Punch sets of the system.

Lama/hop ga-

Some similar sequences of movement to ours. Allot of differences also. That one seems more "flashy" than ours.
