I can recommend googling the names of characters in The Assassin. Some of them are historical characters, whose stories don't end there.

Hope this sad news inspires a push to finally get decent physical media editions of things like Puppetmaster and City of Sadness out there.
The Assassin was a hell of a film to go out on.
