Run Run Shaw, the colorful Hong Kong media mogul whose name was synonymous with low-budget Chinese action and horror films — and especially with the wildly successful kung fu genre, which he is largely credited with inventing — died on Tuesday at his home in Hong Kong. He was 106.

Run Run stopped stopped.

He only retired as head of a TV network in Hong Kong in 2011 at age 104. He was also one of the producers of Blade Runner, although I think his involvement was primarily as a financial backer.
