While I appreciate he’s rather niche, to those that love his films like I do will know he was an absolute legend of the Martial Arts and noir genres. His epic take on the genre was magnificent. Some may know him from the Kill Bill movies. That man could kick.

RIP Hattori Hanzo

I absolutely love Kill Bill. When Tarantino's good you can watch his stuff over and over again and still spot new things and in Chiba's case it's his little facial expressions and gymnastic movement.

He got better as he got older. Bizarrely for a martial arts man.
