Bolo (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure



As far as I'm concerned, there are two must-own Bolo Yeung/Yang Zse movies: BLOODSPORT and BOLO. Albeit, for very different reasons. (I'll refer to Bolo the actor in lower case, and BOLO the movie in caps.)

Anyone who's seen Bloodsport and wants another fix of Bolo ass-kicking action will be VERY hard pressed, because quite frankly, Bloosport marks the pinnacle of his on-screen fighting and screen time. Having checked out many of his AMerican flicks - Breathing Fire, Ironheart, Bloodfight etc. - he's basically relegated to "Evil Heavy #3" and gets very little screen time, and manages to get dispatched by washed up fighters or children (I'm not even kidding - go see Breathing Fire to see the superhuman beast from the East get his ass handed to him by two effeminate kids).

So, if you're looking for Bloodsport-esque, Bolo-destroying-everyone coolness, good luck. BUT, if you want to see Bolo get his fair share of screen time and actually ACT (in the loosest, Schwarzennegger sense of the word), I can't recommend Bolo highly enough.

He's got a few fight scenes, but they're the usual swingy-arm nonsense of this period of HK film. He's pretty buff, but not nearly as big as in his US movies - but he HAS got this far out devil-worshipping beard that makes him look so deadly.

BOLO is a work of utter surrealism. If you like shows like Father Ted and Twin Peaks, just imagine them with a Chinese cast and some hokey fight scenes and you've got this movie. IT'S F'IN GREAT. See Bolo taste another man's bath water! See him reach through a glory hole and squeeze another man's meat! Watch him do his best Mr. T impersonation, incarcerated for crimes he didn't commit! Watch him skip down glorious fields of green hand-in-hand with a 7 foot woman called Honey B - with no explanation! Witness bizarre numerical hand games with GOLDEN HARVEST ZOOM into man's forehead! See people go to another village for no adequately explained reason and ask to borrow scaffolding, only to get in a fight before everybody suddeny becomes retarded - for no adequately explained reason! This movie rocks.

...So, if you're looking for another slice of Chong Li action, maybe this isn't the best place to go (if you're daring, check out some of his earlier HK work, but to be honest, it doesn't get any better than Bloodpsort). If, however, you're a total Bolo mark like me and you just want to see the big guy do his thing for 90 minutes, get this damn disc right now. It's worth its weight in another man's bathwater.
