I am sad to announce that 韓國材 Hon Kwok-choi has passed away from lung cancer at the age of 69. He had a long career in the Hong Kong movie industry, working both behind and in front of the camera on over a 130 films. Early roles included work as an extra at the Shaw Brothers studio and in Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury.
Amongst his huge list of film credits, Bruceploitation fans may remember him from the Bruce Li movies “Gold Connection” and “Fist of Fury 3” and alongside Bruce Le in “Bruce King of Kung Fu” and “Bruce Le’s Greatest Revenge”. He also starred in several films with Bruce Leung Siu-Lung, often showing his great comedic skills. Thoughts go out to his friends and family. May he rest in peace.
