Zan xian sheng yu zhao qian Hua

Picked out solely by its generic DVD title, 'Warriors Two', i was pleasantly surprised by this film. The first arc, aka the story, is pretty much forgettable. The rest of the movie, is pretty much fight scenes, and training scenes where the student gets the fu*k beaten out of him. Once the fight scenes start happening, this movie doesn't let up much, just constant people beating the sh*t out of each other, its pretty awesome. The fight styles and whatnot are bad-ass as expected, the acting good, the stunt-work is great, cinematography isn't that bad either. A awesome action film with a somewhat slow start, worth a watch for sure.

Warriors Two is another excellent kung fu film from the genius that is Sammo Hung. The choreography and training sequences are excellent.

The acting is good with Leung Kar Yan and Casanova Wong getting time to shine.

One of the greatest kung fu movies ever produced, see it whenever you get a chance.

Directed by and staring Sammo Hung (whose character, as usual, is referred to as Fatty!), this kung fu flick was definitely one of the good ones. The first half was mostly standard fare but things picked up nicely at around the midpoint. After the cool training sequence, Fatty and friends each pick one of the different-styled baddies and seek them out to set things right. The last 20 minutes or so just kick butt, cumulating with the top bad guy whipping out a creepy praying-mantis style on our heroes that must be seen to be believed. As a Hung production, it does feature some of his cheesy but harmless brand of comedy but he also makes sure to splatter some blood in deserving scenes. Also, for such a movie, there were a number of shots that looked like they were lifted right out of a Chinese horror movie! When I finished the film, I watched the original trailer on the DVD, in which Chinese descriptions appeared over the scenes, translated underneath. Here are a few lines that occurred during some fight scenes: It's authentic! It's clearly shown! It's greatly entertaining! And it was. I just thought that was amusing…"clearly shown" isn't part of the modern fight choreographer's vocabulary.

I can think of few other movies, Kung Fu or not, that stand up to repeated viewing in the way Warriors Two does. If you're a Kung Fu fan and haven't seen this, I can only say it's what you've been waiting for. I must warn you, a lot of other Kung Fu movies will seem mediocre afterwards. Apart from Sammo's genius, there is the mighty Leung Kar Yan ("Beardy") as the grey haired doctor - he cannot fail to amaze! I can think of a few movies that come close (Prodigal Son, The Victim..) but this is the cream.

Warrior's Two is not a sequel to Walter Hill's urban action classic The Warriors. In fact, I think it's just the title, or literal translation of the title. Way before Donnie Yen made IP Man a household name, Warrior's Two is another excellent movie about the fighting style known as Wing Chun. This is a groundbreaking film for Sammo Hung that put his mix of kung fu and comedy and got his fight choreography some series respect The fights are jaw droppingly awesome and really complex, but tightly put together. In the restored version I have, everything looks crystal clear and sometimes I forget that I am watching a movie from the 70's. If you like martial arts movies, this is one you should see as everything done here was done really well.
