just call that man called TIGER...

This was first posted over on Grady Hendrix's resurrected Kaiju Shakedown blog over at Variety and I think I have just the lobbycard to match up with this outrageous story:
On Monday, Jimmy Wang Yu, Hong Kong's legendary One-Armed Swordsman, revealed that Taiwan's Kuomintan (KMT) government was not only responsible for the assassination of Chinese-American writer Henry Liu in California, but that after seeing too many of his movies they asked him to assassinate pro-independence activist Hsu Hsin-liang.
