Bolo Yeung is awesome, he was chinese powerlifting champion and studied kungfu under a few different masters. He has starred in alot of chinese b-movies too. His real name is Yang Sze and got his name Bolo when he starred in Bruce Lee's Enter The Dargon, he was also in the JVCD classic Bloodsport as Chong Li and Double Impact as the evil henchman. Moon.

It's worth pointing out that he was over 50 when he appeared in Bloodsport. I hope I'm still mad hard when I'm in my 50's

Bolo is a total stud.
He is in shitloads of great 70s Hong Kong films, including my favourite IO Magnificent Killers, where he plays the birdcage assassin. A great film, where he really showcases his skills. In Enter the Dragon and the western made later stuff, you don't get to see what an amazing martial artist he is. You should check it out.

I was thinking of getting this, i'm not sure which of his movies are included but theres three, on Amazon it doesn't mention which movies they are, it says on the front but its quite hard to make it out.

Certainly one of the reasons for JCVD's popularity is the strength of Bolo as the antagonist in Bloodsport. Glad to see him turn up in Double Impact although in a smaller role. As for Enter the Dragon, I don't know how good John Saxon is but I imagine that Bolo would kill him in real life.

What is this guy doing now? He was so evil in Bloodsport and Double Impact I thought for sure he would do more Van Damme movies. He would have been great in Hard Target or Universal Soldier.
