Member AlbertV Posted October 5, 2012 Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'll work on an obit this weekend on the main site...loved Austin Wai not only in Five Superfighters, but his scenes in Fearless Hyena II (where he played Jackie's cousin) were pretty fun to watch. Plus he was good in Tsui Hark's The Blade as Vincent Zhao's dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member The Dragon Posted October 5, 2012 Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 We have sadly lost a number of overwelming talents the past few seasons... Its almost as if a number of these greats left not knowing of the global appeal of their artistry, and appreciation for their monumental contributions to this genre. Thank you, Austin. May peace be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Topgun Posted October 7, 2012 Member Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hello guys, Forgive me, I am not trying to get to his personal problems, but does any one here know what could have caused his death? Passing at this early age (55) is so young. I am 40 and still looking into my 70's. RIP, Austin. Topgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted October 7, 2012 Member Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thought I stick the link to AlbertV's bio of Austin Wai here. He included a fantastic filmography, too. http://www.kungfucinema.com/news/austin-wai-1957-2012 Has anyone seen Generation Pendragon, the film he was nominated for in best action direction?

Member Eastern Evil Posted October 7, 2012 Member Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thank you, teako. I was hoping to see her thoughts, & without reading it yet, I bet she celebrates his accomplishments & gives love to him in the way only a sister can. Bless them both.

Member teako170 Posted October 7, 2012 Member Share Posted October 7, 2012 After watching this video, it appears Kara is doing her best to deal with the press. I hope she and her family are allowed to mourn without further interruption... http://video.sina.com.cn/p/ent/s/h/2012-10-07/151461879361.html From what I've been reading, Austin's pal Norman Chu Siu-Keung was the one who identified the body.
