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.
