Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted January 9, 2014 Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 I decided that this year, for my annual Chinese New Year viewing schedule, it's going to be a Shaw Brothers day in honor of Sir Run Run Shaw. I just have to think of some titles...I think I'll mix it up and not just focus on martial arts films...add a bit of some other types. Will have to go through my collection You should host a screening on ustream?? I'll join in, just pick a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted January 9, 2014 Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 It is kind of unfair to ask for a top ten list, as it is a movie company, not just one actor or director- Heroes Two Men From the Monastery Shaolin Temple Five Shaolin Masters Black Tavern New One Armed Swordsman New Shaolin Boxers Four Riders Crippled Avengers Avenging Eagle Yes, pretty big Fu Sheng fan.In all honesty, the list would be twice as long, with some of these others. Invincible Fist Come Drink with me Five fingers of Death The Chinese Boxer Clans of Intrigue Black Magic 2 Heroes of the East Boxer From Shantung and more!

Member teako170 Posted January 10, 2014 Member Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sir Run Run's funeral was held today (Friday) in HK. Very low-key; family only. His coffin was transported to the Cape Collinson Crematorium for cremation. Sir Run Run's grandson is pictured below... Mrs Shaw (Mona Fong Yat-Wa)...

Member Kwok Choi Posted January 10, 2014 Member Share Posted January 10, 2014 I knew he was also a philanthropist giving donations to many charities and of course a cineaste but I was not aware of this significant gesture to our very own Bafta (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) mentioned in this link http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/run-run-shaw-farewell-to-cinemas-kung-fu-king-9044946.html I think I've seen his name engraved somewhere at Bafta? or The NFT ? but I thought it was honorary. Does anyone know when and what type of funeral is planned? hope Raymond Chow amongst others will be well enough to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member teako170 Posted January 11, 2014 Member Share Posted January 11, 2014 Does anyone know when and what type of funeral is planned? hope Raymond Chow amongst others will be well enough to attend. They plan to hold a memorial event on Friday the 17th. Run Run's ashes reportedly will be placed at his older son Shaw Wai Ming's Singapore home.

Member the moose Posted March 3, 2014 Member Share Posted March 3, 2014 Anyone watch the Oscars? That was nice that they did include Run Run in the "in memorium" segment. I figuered he was too important a figure for them to ignore. Also the runrun death was covered on the BBC national news here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo I grabbed off this forum some years ago - Ha ha look at how the rolls royce gets a large portion of the pic. He has all that wealth, fame and babes. But his pride and joy was the good ol Rolls Royce (co-incidently the British company had it's cars manufactured in Hong Kong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I had almost forgotten yesterday was his passing's anniversary (I should have cause I watched 36th Chamber of Shaolin as a tribute to his memory when his passing was anounced on here). Guess I'm due to watch a Shaw classic today to make up for not remembering, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recognize the one at the very left, unless it's Nancy Yen... Then, if I'm not mistaken, it's Lin Chen Chi, Lily Li, Ai Ti, Ting Pei and Shih Szu, and I don't recognize either the two who are sitting...
