Born Hsia Ling-Jun (???) in Hong Kong, Yuen studied at the Peking Opera School between the ages of five to 16. In 1973, Yuen became a stunt double for Bruce Lee. That was the fake Bruce Lee in Game of Death. Yuen wouldn't get to really show off his skills until the late 1970's and early 80's thanks to his schoomates/good friends Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. The success began dying down a bit in the 1990's, but slowly began rising up again thanks to his films Hero in 1997 and A Man Called Hero in 1999. In 2000, Yuen went to the United States to work with Jackie Chan as the fight choreographer on Shanghai Noon. In 2001, Yuen co-starred alongside Sammo Hung in The Avenging Fist. Yuen also starred in a more comedic role in the 2002 Japan-HK film No Problem 2.
