And what an incredible film career he had. Just absolute top-tier stuff, some of these films. Farewell My Concubine, Rouge and Happy Together... masterpieces of the highest order.

I can't find any version of A Better Tomorrow without absolute god-awful subtitles.

Yeah, I just delved into Wong Kar Wai too; his movies are phenomenal. For a myriad of reasons, Happy Together has always been my favorite. Well, it’s tied with Chungking Express, but it’s hard to top it.

You could say it about any great screen presence who leaves too soon, but Leslie is one of those where I do stop from time to time and wonder what he might have gifted us had he still been here.

A legend in HK cinema and cantopop... really loved his performance in Once A Thief and A Chinese Ghost Story.
