Film
Yang believes that Emperor Han is the only one who can bring China back to its former glory, so he hatches a scheme to revive him using the Eye of Shangri-La, which contains elixir from the Pool of Eternal Life. Yang successfully revives Han and offers his services to him, which the Emperor accepts. Yang is present during the chase through the streets of Shanghai and aids the Emperor in fending off Lin and the O'Connells. Yang also guides Han to the Himalayas whilst searching for the entrance to Shangri-La.

Towards the end of the film, Yang's army joins forces with Han's Terracotta Army to take on General Ming's army raised from the dead by Zi Yuan. When Yang realises that the O'Connells are attempting to stop the Emperor, he goes after them and fights Evelyn in a room filled with large rotating wooden gears. After a brief struggle, Lin uses a rope to swing down into Yang, knocking him backwards into one of the gears. He tries desperately to crawl out but ultimately fails, ending up being slowly crushed to death.
