Yes, that’s right, he was 106 years old. I can’t say exactly how many Shaw Brothers kung-fu flicks I’ve watched over the decades (it’s a lot), but I’ve loved them since I was a kid. Besides popularizing the kung-fu genre and producing dozens of great, fun movies (and a lot of stinkers too) which influenced future American directors like Quentin Tarintino, Sir Run Run (how can you not love a name like that) was also a great philanthropist.
Oh, and he also was the producer of Blade Runner.
And he has an asteroid named after him.
Time to go watch The Five Deadly Venoms again.

man, when that Shaw Bros ident and fanfare came on the tv, you knew you were in for a damn good time
If you've gone through your life and never watched a Shaw Brothers movie, you've missed out.
