Not his last no, that was Wagons East I think. He died during the making of it and they had to do something with the film to complete his remaining lines / scenes etc. I believe. Someone will post the correct details on here I'm sure.
Greatest kids film ever. Sanka was the funniest character i had ever seen as a kid at the cinema. I remember I cried as a kid at the end, Still gets me abit at the end still.

they had to either use a stand in for some scenes that couldnt be changed or rewrite others to not involve him
^ Thanks for the heads up on iPlayer. Just finished watching it. Really enjoyed it. I had no idea that the original footage of the real-life Jamaican Olympic bobsled team's actual crash (caused by the driver's mistake) was used in this film. Anyway, although it relies a tad heavily on stereotypes, Cool Runnings is fun. So quotable, too.
My favourite:
Yul: How 'bout I beat your butt right now?
Sanka: How 'bout I draw a line down the middle of your head so it looks like a butt?

(My favourite movie I watched as a kid btw.)
Absolutley brilliant movie
It's a comedy that tells a good story and has an uplifting message. There should be more movies like this.

Hey, Sanka, you dead?
He didnt know that the queen lived there - Sanka's response was funny 'you would have to marry her, if you wanna live there' lol

I was so disappointed not to see them in the Olympics this year.
Winter and summer olympics are different
