Bolo Yeung
Yang Sze is the true name of Bolo Yeung. However, the moniker Bolo Yeung has persisted with him since he established a successful career as a martial artist, martial arts film actor, and competitive bodybuilder. Bolo Yeung was cast in various bad guy films because of his remarkably powerful physique, with his first big break coming with the great Bruce Lee in the 1973 film Enter the Dragon. They were inseparably linked. Bolo Yeung has acted in several martial arts films since then, including two films with Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bloodsport (1988) and Double Impact (1989). Following his several appearances as a ruthless villain, Yeung rose to prominence in Asian cinema. His most well-known performance was in the film Enter the Dragon in which he co-starred with Bruce Lee. Bolo was played by Yeung in that film. Chong Li in the film Bloodsport in which he co-starred with Jean-claude Van Damme is one of his other memorable parts. Then, he played Chang Lee in the film Bloodfight alongside Simon Yam and Yasuaki Kurata.

Bolo Yeung began his martial arts career when he was just 10 years old. Several Kung Fu teachers mentored Yeung as he grew up, helping him polish his kung fu talents and become a superb martial artist. However, martial arts was only one of Yeung’s many passions. Bodybuilding was also a childhood passion for Hong Kong natives. After putting in a lot of effort and time, Yeung was crowned Mr. Hong Kong Bodybuilding Champion, a title he maintained for a staggering 10 years.
Bolo Yeung’s powerful build is very well established to the types of parts he’d portray in the film business. He was made for the role of the villain you’d like to despise. Yeung was frequently cast as the evil guy in Shaw Brothers Studios film which is unsurprising. Before leaving the Shaw Brothers in 1971, Yeung continued to work with them, starring in many films.

Sammo Hung
In the Asian film business, Sammo Hung is well known. Hung is a martial artist as well as an actor, producer, and director. Hung is well known for his involvement in popularizing martial arts by including it in numerous of his films. Sammo Kam-bo Hung started his professional film debut at the year of 12 and has since worked as an actor, director, producer, and choreographer in a number of martial arts films. Partnering with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan see Painted Faces/ Qī xiǎo fú (1988).
Sammo Hung got his major debut as a film actor in Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon when he played a sparring partner (1973). Hung would be the choreographer for some of the biggest names in Asian films, including John Woo and Jackie Chan. Hung was one of the first actors to build a name for himself in martial arts films. Hung, also known as Hung Kam-bo, is sometimes referred to as “Dai Goh Dai” which loosely translates to “largest of all big brothers” or “giant big brother” due to his significant success in martial arts films.

In the film Shaolin Pilot, Hung made his significant acting debut. He went on to become a prominent person in the industry as a result of this.
