Bolo Yeung – 1946 – Enter the Dragon

Bolo Yeung is a well-known martial artist and bodybuilder from Hong Kong. Yeung became famous after employing his martial arts expertise in Hollywood by playing antagonists in kung fu movies. Yeung, who is now in his seventies, is no longer the herculean-looking bodybuilder he once was. As a result, his filmography remains dormant, and the actor last appeared on a major motion picture in 2015. The film “Enter the Dragon,” in which Yeung portrays the antagonist alongside Bruce Lee, is the biggest success to his name. Bloodsport, Double Impact, and other parts in Hong Kong’s martial arts films are only a few of his other well-liked films.
