Guest Yi-Long Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Wow... sad news. Although obviously 96 is an amazing age, and he lived an amazing life and made a pretty big contribution to HK martial arts cinema, and is an internationally recognizable 'villain' for his legendary role in ETD.

Guest Markgway Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Shek Kin was an industry legend. One of the original Kung Fu players and a great character actor. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jesse Smooth Posted June 4, 2009 Member Share Posted June 4, 2009 R.I.P. A shame that there aren't many current stars to carry the torch passed on by these legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted June 4, 2009 Administrator Share Posted June 4, 2009 Rest in peace Mr. Han. Though he often played villains, in interviews he always appeared to be a warm, friendly man, full of energy and anthusiasm even into his later years. One of my favorite roles of his is a small, but comedic one from MILLIONAIRE'S EXPRESS where he does a satire of his characters from the black and whit Wong Fei-hung movies. Very funny, with great timing. Thanks for all the great performances! "You have our gratitude." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Shek Kin did have a good two decades on Carradine. *sigh* Well, I'm not a very religious person, but I'd like to think Shek Kin is at least hanging out with Bruce right now...
