Scene of the Week: Tiger Claws is Comin’ to Town!

By the time 1991’s Tiger Claws was released, Bolo Yeung was well established as one of the most intimidating and imposing figures in martial arts movie history. This is a man who battled Bruce Lee in the classic Enter The Dragon, briefly tangled with Bruce’s son Brandon in Legacy of Rage, then went on to kick Jean Claude Van Damme’s ass in not one but two of JCVD’s blockbuster flicks!

While Yeung also had some notable heroic roles under his belt, he excelled at playing the villain, like how Cynthia Rothrock playing a cop that chose to dish out justice with her feet and fists always just felt right. Tiger Claws set these two icons on a collision course, pitting the murderous Chong (Yeung) against the detective out to end his reign of terror (Rothrock). This clip features their climactic showdown from that film, along with an appearance from co-star Jalal Merhi, who also ended up squaring off against the brutish kung fu master before the credits rolled!
