I'm so sad to announce that Ringo Lam died yesterday, I'm gutted. He was one of the greatest directors JCVD has ever worked with. I love all of his three films with JC, I always wanted to see him directing JC again, this is such a big loss for the film industry. He was relatively young for the today standard of ageing, JC is not much younger than him, nor my parents, so this news brings me anxiety.
Rest in peace great man!

Jean-Claude Van Damme deeply saddened by death of Hong Kong filmmaker Ringo Lam www.topbuzz.com/a/6640747686855180805?user_id=6578851532284166154&language=en®ion=us&app_id=1106&impr_id=6640836423580666117&gid=6640747686855180805&c=tw South China Morning Post December 30, 2018
Action star Jean-Claude Van Damme has expressed shock and sadness over the death of Hong Kong-born director Ringo Lam Ling-Tung, who died in his home on Saturday.
The former martial arts competitor turned Hollywood action hero worked with Lam on three movies – Maximum Risk, In Hell and Replicant – and took to Twitter on Saturday to express his “deep sadness” over the passing of one of Hong Kong’s greatest film directors. Lam, whose City on Fire found worldwide acclaim, was found dead at his home in Ma On Shan on Saturday. He was 63.
Van Damme was one of many celebrities who have come out to pay tribute to the famed filmmaker.
“I’m deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Ringo Lam. We worked together on Maximum Risk, In Hell and Replicant. My heart goes out to his family, friends and loved ones,” wrote Van Damme on his official Twitter page.
The 58-year-old Belgian, known as the Muscles from Brussels, recently celebrated Christmas in Hong Kong and had earlier spent some time in Macau, according to his Twitter account.
The Expendables 2 star, who was one of the world’s top box office draws during the 80s and 90s with martial arts classics such as Lionheart, Bloodsport and Kickboxer, had said in an interview that he was fortunate to have worked with Lam.
Lam’s passing sparked an outpouring of grief from Van Damme’s fans on his Twitter page.
“Yes, he is dead, but his accomplishments, memories and his name will never die. My condolences to Ringo Lam and his family,” wrote Luigi.
“In Hell is one of your best. Sorry for the loss,” wrote Marc-Andre.
Patrick Rutherford wrote: “In Hell, Replicant and Maximum Risk are 3 of my favourites for sure, RIP.”
Maximum Risk was Van Damm’s first collaboration with Lam and although it was generally panned by film critics, the action movie still did good business at the box office, taking in more than US$5 million in its first week of release.
The film did better overseas, enabling it to earn back twice its budget.

Very sad news. After Ringo Lam another early death. I grew up watching these men in JCVD films and now those actors and directors are slowly dying out. This shows how old we are getting when people we saw live are now passing away. I pray JCVD won't leave us at least until he will have 70 years old...
