VINCENT KOK'S MOTHER DIES

Our thoughts are with Hong Kong's Vincent Kok, the famed comedian, whose mother died on Friday after jumping from her second floor apartment. Kok is a writer/director/actor who has worked on films like SHAOLIN SOCCER, FORBIDDEN CITY COP, LOVE ON DELIVERY and GORGEOUS. Western fans will remember him best as the chunky soccer player who is left sobbing by Stephen Chow's skills. His mother was 77.

thanks for pointing this out. i'd just enjoyed kok's directorial debut (with lau ching-wan as a retarded model - for some parts of story!), before seeing the tragic news. not surprisingly, kok handled it with serene peace: it was mother's wish (after long-term ailing).

RIP.
