Moderator Asmo Posted November 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 2, 2021 A versatile performer, on screen and off. Recently revisited a few of his late 1970s kung fu comedy performances and they're as good as ever. R.I.P. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted November 2, 2021 Member Share Posted November 2, 2021 How sad. It took me a while to appreciate his movie appearances, especially as initially I only saw him in Mr Rocking-like roles. Condolences to family and friends. Rest in Peace, Dean Shek Tin. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Super Ninja Posted November 2, 2021 Member Share Posted November 2, 2021 RIP. Tonight's watch will be dedicated to him, enjoying a few laughs from one of his own seems the appropriate way to bid a final farewell to the man. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you give us a quick summary of what is said in these clips. Also, I'd like to know what Dean Shek says about Peter Chen Ho in the second clip, please. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was good in Bravest Fist (1974), I wish he'd done my more parts like that one. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member starschwar Posted November 3, 2021 Member Share Posted November 3, 2021 Rest In Peace. A very memorable figure, especially for one who seldom got in on the action. Right after Roy Horan no less. SITES is going to hit differently on future viewings for a long while. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamSeed Posted November 5, 2021 Member Share Posted November 5, 2021 So sad. Unlike some, I always loved his goofier characters. Out of interest, what do people consider to be his best onscreen fight? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member De Ming Li Posted November 6, 2021 Member Share Posted November 6, 2021 R.I.P to a great actor, I pretty like everything he's bee in and never got bored seeing him over and over. Just for clarification, does anyone know his correct date of birth? There are a few different dates floating around and it's frustrating as it's something you'd think that shouldn't be in doubt. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, what do people consider to be his best onscreen fight? From what I've seen and can remember off the top of my head, he was the main villain in Mantis Fists and Tiger Claws of Shaolin and fought John Chang at the end. Perhaps not a martial arts style fight, but still the end shoot out in A Better Tomorrow II is one of the finest action scenes in all of cinema. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
