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. An actor with this surname played the projectionist in Goodbye, Dragon 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 of The Big 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, paralleling (10[1])his son’s accidental death on the set (10[1])of The Crow. For 10 points, give this surname of the star of Enter the Dragon. ■END■
