RIP Linn Haynes 1974-2008

We have lost a giant in the field of Kung Fu research. I haven't posted since I've heard this as it's been very shocking. We have plans for a tribute to Linn Hanyes, but until then I'm going to post an exclusive interview he did with me for a research paper. You can also post you thoughts on the Flashlegs Forum, DVD Manics (in the Off Topic Forum), Kung Fu Cinema Forum, and MHVF.net. You can also send condolences via the information contained below.

This is truly a horrible tragedy. However, through plans for his works, the name and talents of Linn Haynes will live on forever.

We will miss you greatly, but you will not be forgotten.
