Member DiP Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 Was shocked to learn this when I woke up a moment ago today. I wonder how this will affect the post-production of Raging Fire. Not a favorite HK director of mine but his contribution to HK action movies is undeniable. RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 How sad, RIP Benny Chan. From what I've seen so far, I especially enjoyed MAGIC CRANE, GEN-X COPS and INVISIBLE TARGET. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member JackieRome Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I was reading before and I was very sorry. Although he never made great masterpieces for a Jackie Chan enthusiast, he couldn't help but appreciate it. He was still very young. It was evident that he was a humble person. I met him a couple of times at festivals. I'm curious to see Raging Fire. Rip Edited August 23, 2020 by JackieRome 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 RIP. I didn't appreciate all his films, but I liked his Jackie collaborations, Invisible Target, Shaolin and Call of Heroes. Thanks for your contributions! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SpartainX Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 R.I.P Benny Chan as i'm shocked and sadden of this news. I was watching New Police Story the other day watching it the first time since it's 15th anniversary. I enjoyed Who Am I, Rob B-Hood. Gen-X Cops. His tv work with Donnie Yen in Kung Fu Master and Fist of Fury tv series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sheng Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 Shocked to hear the news, the man was just 58, what a tragedy! Watched most of his films, but nothing, nothing he ever did came close to his very first effort, A MOMENT OF ROMANCE ! Never ever will I forget the grand finale with Wu Chien Lien running from the church in Macao in her wedding dress at night, cracks me up just thinking about it... An all-time HK cinema classic if ever there was one! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Magic Crane, Big Bullet, Man Wanted and even Call of Heroes, but A Moment of Romance is the one I will remember Benny Chan for.
