Bolo Yeung (born 1946) is a Hong Kong actor best known for his villainous roles in martial arts films. His notable works include Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee and Bloodsport with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Yang was born in Meixian, Guangdong. He started learning martial arts at the age of 10, learning many styles from many masters. He then turned to bodybuilding and won the title of "Hong Kong Bodybuilding King" for 10 years. Yang's muscular physique brought him many acting opportunities in Shaw Brothers films. Later, he also participated in many martial arts films in Hollywood.

Earlier this year, 163 published another story related to Bruce Lee and Yang Si. In a scene from the movie Enter the Dragon, Yang Si had to use an armlock on actor John Saxon, but he didn’t know how to use it. Later, Bruce Lee himself demonstrated to Yang Si how to use the armlock.

"There was a fight scene between me and action actor John Saxon, in which I needed to use a cross armbar to take John down. However, I didn't know much about mixed martial arts, nor did I understand how to use this armbar technique. Later, Bruce Lee asked me to try a fight with him, and he took me down with an armbar. Bruce Lee's martial arts were really formidable, I was no match for him," Duong Tu recalled.

Essentiallysports reported that Yang Si once revealed that he was amazed by Bruce Lee’s martial arts skills. Yang Si shared while filming “Enter the Dragon” (1973): “Bruce Lee was often challenged to a fight on the set of “Enter the Dragon”. Lee did not want to fight, but he felt forced to do so.”

Duong Tu said that there was an extra actor who wanted to try Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

However, the match between the two did not last long. Commenting on Bruce Lee's speed, Duong Tu said bluntly: "Bruce Lee kicked the extra in the head and the match ended quickly. Bruce Lee was simply too fast. Bruce Lee's speed was unbelievable."

The friendship between Bruce Lee and Yang Si began in 1971, on the set of a cigarette commercial. A year later, Bruce Lee asked Yang Si to appear in his next film. Interestingly, Yang Si agreed and agreed to work with Lee. This is how Bruce Lee and Yang Si became partners in Enter the Dragon.

In "Enter the Dragon", Yang Si plays the villain's bodyguard, while Bruce Lee plays the lead role.
