Max Von Sydow has passed away on 8 March 2020 at the age of 90 at his home in Provence, France.

A film icon, versatile actor, Max Von Sydow was part of many sci-fi movies now cult classics. Flash Gordon, Conan the Barbarian, Strange Brew, Dune, The Minority Report, and The Exorcist to name just a few. Some may also remember him as the voice of Vigo the Carpathian, in Ghost Busters II.

I will always remember him as Ming the Merciless.

R.I.P.

    "I tried to get a free case of beer from Max one day, me and my brother, eh?

    What a douche he was about it. Got all mad and shit...what a hoser.

    So i said to him, "How about a nice game of.....hockey?""

    I always wondered how they got him in that movie: seems Max's son was a fan of Bob and Doug!
