Round 5: Tossup 3

The nickname of an actor with this surname inspired that of his character Hsiao-kang (“shao-kang”) in Rebels of the Neon God, Stray Dogs, and Vive L’Amour (“veev lah-MOOR”). A scandal over drug use and infidelity led to the 2023 suicide of an actor with this surname who played the rich man in Parasite. (15[1])An actor with this surname played the projectionist in Goodbye, Dragon (15[1])Inn and is the muse of Tsai Ming-liang. A 1980 film titled for “clones,” which stars many actors who (*) changed their surnames to resemble this one, exemplifies a genre that capitalized on the death of the star (10[1])of The Big (10[1])Boss and is a portmanteau of his first name and “exploitation.” That actor with this surname died after collapsing in an ADR booth while shooting Game of Death, (10[1])paralleling his son’s accidental death on the set of The Crow. For 10 points, give this surname of the star of Enter the Dragon. ■END■
