Although he'll be mostly remembered as a character actor, Lau Siu-ming was first and foremost a renowned ballet dancer. He choreographed one of my favourite scenes ever, one that I think is unique in Hong Kong cinema: a dance that appears as a dream in Chor Yuen's 1968 screwball comedy Rhapsody.

Aw man, so many greats gone in this past couple of weeks. Chen Kuan Tai was a certified badass and one of those guys I was always happy to see pop up in a movie, he had a rugged charm and brought so much to every role. The Tea House is such a good showcase for his star power. RIP

RIP Chen Kuan-tai, one of the greatest to ever do it. From Shaw Brothers star, to the OG Iron Monkey, to his collaborations with Xu Haofeng in recent years, the man was peak cinematic cool, and also did riding a motorcycle through a house and fighting with bicycles way before The Furious did it.

Shaw Brothers star Chen Kuan-tai has passed away. From Susan Shaw's Facebook: "The best film—Gallants. Tai, have a safe journey! In the end, you still owe me an answer: where did you hide all that money you made? Say hello to Bruce for me when you see him."
