The best bad guy
Who do you think is the best bad guy of all times...in martial arts movie? I'm going to have to say Bolo Yeung.
Here is a link:

(I wish I could find a better link. He actually trained in various styles of martial arts and has been in a whole lot more movies than on this site. If anyone finds a better link to a site about this guy. Please post it...Thanks!!!)
This guy became a legend just by being a bad guy. He's been in several movies, and maybe only like 3 of them he was a good guy in. He's been a bad guy in basically every movie he's been in. He made being a bad guy in martial arts movies look good! I think his most famous,and my favorite bad guy role that he played was in Blood Sport with Jean Claude Van-damn
What's your favorite bad guy role for Bolo Yeung? There are a lot of roles to choose from. Also, if any of you think there's a better bad guy in a martial art movie, list them here!
Bolo is probably the most well known villain in the movies.
Only other notable one I can remember is Tong Po from Jean Claude Van Damme's Kickboxer. The credit said he played himself so his name must be Tong Po.

Yes, I remember Tong Po from the kick boxer series. He was an awsome bad guy as well. Good call Ninja Master. There aren't many people who make Legendary bad guys in martial arts movies. It takes something special
Complete, thanks for the link to the Bolo Yeung profile.
BOLO is the man when it comes to being the best villain. Nobody comes even close. He's also the most musclar asian guy you'll ever see on movie screen. I think he was like 10 time Mr. Hong Kong bodybuilder or something.

my favorite bad guy is Hwang Jang Lee A.K.A Silver Fox. hes a grandmaster in tkd an always appeared as the bad guy in those 70s-80s kung fu flicks
he's the guy that used his legs 99% of the time when he fought lol. dude dished out every kicking technique concieved an whooped alot of tail.
theres an account of him being challenged in real life by some knife weilding thug. an he killed the man with a kick to the Head. cause his kicks are so strong which earned him the nick name King of the Legfighters

Wow, born in 1938. Almost 70 years old and he can STILL kick my ass. He's an amazing actor and an amazing martial artist. When I watched Drunken Master, I was like, "Oh my god! Thats BOLO!". His funniest role yet haha.
But he does have that characteristic about him that just makes you want to cringe in fear.
Bolo is deffo an awesome bad guy and probably my fabourite. Jet Li is strange in the way he plays good guys and bad guys, he always seems to mix them up. Like in "the one" he was the good guy and the bad guy, and in "unleashed" he started off as a bad guy by beating up loadsa people but then he changed to a good guy as the film progressed. As i said - bolo for me.
Styles: karate, aikido, ju jitsu,kobudo, tai chi chuan

yes Tanaka is great as is bolo but arent we forgetting bad guys like tsukura(not sure if I spelled that right) from "The Octagon", he was also chuck norris' adopted brother in the movie or what about hasagawa from "Enter the Ninja"?
