I've learned via a post over at Soft Film that Sek Kin -- a man whom I like to think of as the Amrish Puri of Cantonese cinema, and who is known to millions as "Mr. Han Man" from Enter the Dragon -- has passed away. For me Sek's villainous portrayals have provided the high points of more films that I can reliably remember, and he will be greatly missed.

This is one of those awful moments when I realize that someone great had still been alive only at the moment I learn of his death. These are rough days for martial arts fans. Thanks for the news.
To be honest, Samuel, I didn't know that he'd still been with us either until I read David's post. I've gotta say: ninety-six years is a pretty impressive run. Must've been all that kung fu!
Oh! *sad*
But I'm with both of you on the "Hey he was still around?" wagon. Good for him---96 years!
