Bolo Yeung
The Cantonese bodybuilder was frequently cast in evil movie parts due to his intimidatingly powerful stature and downturned mouth, with Enter The Dragon against training buddy Bruce Lee and later Jean-Claude Van Damme being the most noteworthy example. He always made for a particularly charismatic badass, being skilled in tai chi, wing chun, and generally crushing bones.
Chow Yun-Fat
The Hong Kong hero is one of the finest at preparing for certain parts and executing fight choreography with ease. He may be more of an action man than a pure martial artist. As Wudang warrior Li Mu Bai, he displayed astounding wire work and weapon mastery in 2000’s lyrical, Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
