For those who enjoy the Kung-Fu genre type movies, a legend of those types has passed away at 106 years old. Here's the link...

106 is quite a long time, and quite accomplished years at that. I love the old Shaw Brothers movies.

Don't forget films like Blade Runner.

Sir Run Run Shaw put out some serious classics.

Fond memories of watching Black Belt theater on Saturday nights and Kung Fu Theater Sunday afternoons. Heroes of the East (aka Challenge of the Ninja), The Five Deadly Venoms, The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka Master Killer) and My Young Auntie were all excellent contributions to the genre.
