Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on June 17, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Lee Tamahori! From the gritty brilliance of "Once Were Warriors" to your thrilling direction in James Bond's explosive adventure "Die Another Day," you've consistently kept audiences on their toes. Your knack for storytelling and cinematic flair has made every film a memorable ride—though we're still recovering from those intense action sequences!

Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, success, and perhaps fewer explosions (or maybe more—we trust your judgment!). May this birthday be as epic as your films; after all these years behind the camera making magic happen, it's time we celebrate you center stage!
