i must have seen a different film!!
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I am a Chinese so my English is not good ,What can I say is this flick impressed me very much,especially the teaching Yongchunquan scene and the final fighting scene.Liang Zan teach Zhao Qian Hua yongchunquan and it shows many secrets about the most powerful Kung Fu in China.It's a masterpieces for all Kung Fu fans.The fight scene is excellent,it shows many kinds of Chinese KungFu and the fighting seems very real.The action in this film is not like the Jacky Chan's films,Jacky Chan'film is Kung Fu comedy,but this film is Closing to the real Kung Fu.But now the Hong Kong Kung Fu flick is going down,it's hard to see a"real"Kung Fu film now
This is arguably one of the best martial arts movies ever made. It features the typical ingredients in terms a storyline, corrupt evil enemies, young innocent scamp who learns martial arts for revenge, and a good dose of comedy.Those who have seen enough Jackie Chan training scenes will love the interesting training that our young scamp has to go through.What elevates this from others is its amazing fight scenes, particularly the scene where the wing chun master fights the whole enemy crew with his amazing wing-chun. Not only this, the character was played brilliantly and you really care for this character, he isn't just a card cutout character! A must see, go buy this now
Sammo Hung's classic 'Warriors Two' features Korean super-kicker Casanova Wong in his biggest role as Cashier Hua (the 'Zhao Qian Hua' of the title), who works in the bank run by Banker Mo (Fung Hark-On). One evening, just as he was about to pack up for the day, he inadvertently hears a discussion between Mo and some of his other employees where he plots to take over the whole town and become the new Village Head by disposing of the current one.Hua tries to warn the Village Head, but instead falls into a trap where some of Mo's henchmen beat him up quite badly. But Hua escapes, albeit seriously injured, and bumps into Fei Chun (Sammo Hung), who hides Hua in the home of his master, Mr Leung Tsang (the 'Zan Xian Sheng' of the title, played by Leung Kar-Yan), a Wing Chun master and healer.Mo and his cronies go about trying to lure Hua out of hiding by murdering his last remaining family member (in Chinese customs of the period it was traditional to avenge the deaths of murdered friends or family -- something exploited in a lot of the period kung-fu movies of this era), but Fei Chun eventually makes Hua see sense, that he doesn't stand a chance of avenging death as his fighting skills aren't good enough. That's where Mr Tsang comes in -- but Hua's quest for revenge makes Tsang reticent about teaching Wing Chun to him, as kung-fu (like all martial arts) is not supposed to be used aggressively. Will Fei Chun be able to make Tsang capitulate and become his Sifu?This movie was where Sammo's early promise as director and action choreographer shown in his directorial debut 'Iron-Fisted Monk' comes to the fore, as he steps up the quality of the fight choreography and overall structure of the film, and came up with a true masterpiece. Sammo's ability to choreograph the performers in such a way that they come across as powerful as they would ever look on-screen is something that fans of his work are used to (even his former Peking Opera classmate Jackie Chan has benefited from Sammo's excellent choreographic genius), and 'Warriors Two' is no exception, with some superbly crisp fights that contain shots where fighters perform well over ten carefully-timed moves before a cut occurs! But what's most amazing is that Sammo has actually managed to transfer Wing Chun to the screen successfully (some arts don't translate that well to the screen without some minor changes due to the limitations of film -- something that Hong Kong film-makers, especially those of Sammo's ability, have acknowledged over the years and allowed for accordingly), and has actually depicted Wing Chun very accurately in a way that you would appreciate even if you're not a dedicated martial artist.Casanova Wong's acting ability is a bit limited, but in my mind is not enough to completely hamper the film as a whole, and his kicking, combined with the hand techniques his character would learn throughout the movie, is superb. The bit most people talk about is his amazing jump-spinning back kick over a table (in one shot!) which even I rewind and watch again and again!As Banker Mo, Fung Hark-On gives what I believe to be his best bad-guy role outside of Jackie Chan's 'Police Story' (1985), with a menace he never really matched again. His character even provides a bit of a twist at the end!'Warriors Two' features an all-star cast including Eric Tsang (who would appear as Roundhead in the 'Lucky Stars' series), Lau Kar-Wing (Liu Chia-Yong; he's the real-life brother of Liu Chia-Liang), Fung Hark-On, the late Lam Ching-Ying, Yuen Biao (who would later co-choreograph the action in 'Shanghai Noon'), Mang Hoi (a.k.a. Randy Mang!), Dean Shek... Oh, and let's not forget Lee Hoi-San as seemingly-invincible Iron Bell fighter Ya Chao!Being a Sammo film, there are also some moments of broad comedy (some of it dark), but it works within the film, and was still fairly unfamiliar in Hong Kong movies in 1978.Mark my words: 'Warriors Two' is a cast-iron classic. It doesn't QUITE have the polish of Sammo's other Wing Chun movie, 'The Prodigal Son' (1983), but it's still an enjoyable film in its own right, and is different enough from the other kung-fu movies out there to help it stand out, and it still looks wonderful all these years later.
The martial arts genre is one of my favourites as I was bought up on a heady mix of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan flicks. Although Sammo Hung isn't one of my favourite actors this film is perhaps my favourite martial arts film of all time. You all know the general plot to these films, i.e. hero seeks revenge after the death of their master/lover/parent/sibling and Warriors Two is one such film. But what separates this from the rest is the action which is non stop and highly original even by today's standards. The best kung fu film. Ever.
