Original Title : Ma tou da jue dou Year : 1973 Director : Ta Huang Writer : Kuang Ni IMDb : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137427/ Genre : Martial Arts Synopsis: A martial arts fighter, haunted by his past, takes a job as a dock worker in a small village. His vow never to fight again is tested by the cruel owner of the pier. I wasn't actually sure what to expect going into this film. Just going on the poster alone, I thought I was in for a Bolo as a bully or even a comedy. What I found was, despite Bolo being top billed, he was not in a large chunk of the film and it was a relatively serious story about common men fighting back against some oppressive, rich bastards. (No real reason to post the Spanish/Mexican version of the poster here except that I think it's pretty sweet.) Bolo Yeung is not the star of this film, but when he makes his appearance, it's quite an impact, as only a guy of his size and demeanor can. They really play off his massive strength and make him pretty ...

Working a lot these past couple days... and really want to watch a Barry Prima/Chris Mitchum film tonight before bed, but I haven't forgotten about all you Bolo lovers! While I am working (and not working) on a review for Chinese Hercules, here is a tribute video from YouTube with some pretty terrible music. Can I say though, I am pretty fucking pumped to watch him in TC2000 with Billy Blanks

Saw this from deviantART user ~vshen ( http://vshen.deviantart.com/ ) while googling for Bolo Yeung photos. I would love to have it on a shirt

Original Title : Bai ma hei qi Year : 1977 Director : Yang Sze (Bolo Yeung) Writer : ? IMDb : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164441/ Genre : Martial Arts / Comedy Synopsis: Two convicts get freed from prison and become lawmen in a corrupt village. I realize that a film such as this isn't going to be the best representation of the body of work Bolo Yeung has put out over the years, but I thought it might be kind of cool to start out with a rare and silly film that he not only choreographed and starred in... but FUCKING DIRECTED. Hell yeah! Well, not really. But it's at the very least an intriguing (at least for me, but I've been known as an idiot in certain circles) look into this seemingly quiet, toughman's creativity (?) and maybe even personality. For those of you that may have issues with overly corny, Hong Kong slapstick comedy in your martial arts film, this film will probably not be for you. I am definitely one of those people. What I found watching this was a test ...

Why can't I just sit my ass down and write something? Bolo... let's bring it back.
