Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

RIP. 

As a reminder, everyone should see the magnum opus from the early part of his career, The Dragon Lives Again.  You´ll never see another film like it, I promise you, and it recently got a miraculously high quality blu ray release.

OMG, is that him? The Dragon Lives Again is work of surpassing genius.

Yep.  He was one of the Bruce Lee clones in the 70s, his career puttered out in the late 80s, then he retired until Kung Fu Hustle, which was like a come back role, and he's acted periodically since, until his passing.
