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.

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.

Once this film gets going it features some of the best kung fu ever filmed. The action is tightly choreographed and the strikes look like they really hurt. It's all I can do to stop myself from spilling the beans on the finale, which sees Wing Chun style up against one of my other favourite styles, which I can't reveal because it would spoil the surprise. The film also has a great "what do we have to do to kill this guy?" type scene in it, which is predictably bloody and excruciatingly painful. For lovers of eccentric training routines there's no need to worry, the wooden men are out in force, and the weasel with the glasses and the crap voice makes his presence well and truly felt. If you're a kung fu fan and haven't run into this one yet: this is "the business", up there with Prodigal Son.

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.

No pun intended - and I know it should be fight the power - but in this case it is about getting ahead and taking a position for the bad guys in this. And Sammo Hung does not only have a major role in this, but did direct it too. And he is able to inject a lot of humor in a quite serious movie.

Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers went head to head for quite some while. I think it helped them make better movies competing against each other - talking of competing, the stunts here are quite something to behold. Really well done and some contact for sure - but also using stuff they learned at Peking Opera (it I am not mistaken entirely) ... so many things and forms to see here.

The movie is a gem for action lovers for sure ... suspend your disbelief and have fun with it - also there is more where that came from!
