Encyclopedic overview
Yeung Sze (simplified Chinese: 杨斯; traditional Chinese: 楊斯; Jyutping: joeng si; pinyin: Yáng Sī; born February 7, 1946), better known as Bolo Yeung, is a Hong Kong former competitive bodybuilder, martial artist, and actor. Famous for playing villains in action and martial arts films, he is regarded as one of the most influential actors in martial arts cinema.
Born in Meizhou, Sze learned kung fu, namely Tai chi and Wing Chun, from the age of 10. After relocating to Hong Kong to escape the famine and communism of mainland China, he developed an interest in bodybuilding and in 1970 he was crowned Mr. Hong Kong, a title he would hold for 10 years. He became an actor and stuntman for the Shaw Brothers with notable early performances in films including The Heroic Ones (1970) and The Deadly Duo (1971). In 1973, he appeared as the henchman "Bolo" in Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, which catapulted him to international fame. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s he appeared in many Bruceploitation films, including The Clones of Bruce Lee (1977) and Enter the Game of Death (1978). He made his directorial debut in 1977 with the film Fists of Justice.
