No one knows, I don't think The Finger hold could kill him, No one says he's dead, we'll just have to find out
The commentary said that it was never definite what the wuxi finger did, so nobody knows if he is or not.
The Five and everyone else assume he's dead, but but they don't actually know, so that's an open thought really.
Although, it is assumed Tai Lung exploded from the wave of energy the wushi finger hold created, it is not likely. Tai lung most likely didn't die because the power rays weren't strong enough to kill a full grown snow leopard, and the director refuses to say whether he is dead or alive. he always says " i don't know" because they are not sure. one villian we know is dead is Shen because a thick wood boat pole falls on him and kills him. probaly smashes him.But it is believed the director is keeping it a secreat. because it never says tai lung is dead or it doesn't show any proof. the wind could have just blown him to Japan :) so, i say we'll just have to see. thanx, Silver123
