A beautiful 21.5 x 21.5" exhibition print showing Bruce Lee simulating a fight sequence with  Bolo Yeung (Yang Sze), his muscular and villainous co-star on the legendary martial arts epic, Enter the Dragon. (1973). Bolo is holding fellow co-star Wu Ngan - Bruce Lee's butler and friend from childhood - above his head.

This timeless and indelible black and white image has been printed on premium Kodak stock.

This stunning print was specially created for exhibition purposes and is framed in matt-black wood with museum grade glass.

Fans would have loved to have seen a fight sequence between Bruce Lee and Yang Sze in the filmed version of Enter the Dragon. Sadly, this was not to be, as Bolo actually fights Roper, played by John Saxon, in the final cut of the movie. Consequently, images from this photoshoot serve to provide a tantalising glimpse of what might have been…

Enter the Dragon (1973) stands as one of the most important films in cinema history, not merely within the martial arts genre but in global popular culture at large. It was the first major Hollywood-backed kung fu film, produced in partnership between Warner Bros. and Golden Harvest, and it introduced Bruce Lee — already a superstar across Asia — to the full breadth of Western mainstream audiences, permanently changing how the world perceived both martial arts and Asian talent on screen. The film's choreography, driven entirely by Lee's vision, set the template for action filmmaking that directors and stunt coordinators still reference today, establishing a standard of speed, precision, and fluidity that had simply never been seen in Western cinema before. Tragically, Lee died just six days before the film's American release in July 1973, meaning he never witnessed the seismic cultural impact it created — a box office sensation that earned over $90 million worldwide against a budget of just $850,000, making it one of the most profitable films of its era. Beyond the numbers, Enter the Dragon fundamentally shifted the martial arts world, triggering a global boom in kung fu schools, sparking the careers of countless action stars who followed in Lee's wake, and cementing his status not just as a film icon but as a genuine cultural and philosophical force whose influence shows no sign of fading more than fifty years on.

This beautiful and historic photo would make a wonderful addition to the portfolio of any discerning collector of Bruce Lee memorabilia.

  • Additional Information

    During the production of Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee reportedly approached Bolo on set and, without warning, began pressing and squeezing the muscles on Bolo's arms and chest with genuine curiosity — almost clinically, the way a sculptor might examine a rival's work. Bolo, unsure what to make of it, stayed still. Bruce then stepped back, looked him up and down, and said something to the effect of: "You have a beautiful body — but do you know how to use it?"

    It was a typical Bruce Lee remark — not an insult, but a challenge wrapped in a compliment. Bruce's point, consistent with his entire philosophy, was that size and aesthetics meant nothing without speed, efficiency, and adaptability. Despite the slight edge in the comment, Bolo later recalled Bruce with immense warmth and respect, describing him as magnetic, generous on set, and always the undisputed centre of energy in any room he entered.

    The exchange perfectly captured the contrast between the two men — and, by extension, Bruce Lee's core belief that a fighter's true weapon was always the mind, not the muscle.
