Austin Wai, probably best known for his role in the Shaw Brothers' Five Superfighters (1983), passed away last week. He was recently in Donnie Yen's Killzone aka SPL (2005) and Flashpoint (2007). I recall his role as Jungyuan Yut-dimhung (roughly translated as Southern China area - One Point Red) in the 1984 Hong Kong TV series "The New Adventures of Chor Lau-heung" (with Michael Miu Kiu-wai as Chor Lau-heung). His tall, dark, handsome and taciturn character was an expert swordsman whose opponents died from his lightning-fast sword. He left only one point on his dead opponents' bodies which was red with blood.

He was the brother of Kara Hui,whose breakout role was in My Young Auntie (1981). She was recently in Donnie Yen's Dragon aka Swordsmen (2011) and from 2008 Legendary Assassin amongst her other work in movies and TV.
