Warriors Two

source: Warriors Two

Aug 21 I havent got anything new to offer here, i can just agree with the other reviews that this is an excellent film. Sammo Hung, Casanova Wong, Leung Kar Yan, Fung Hark On and Dean Shek star among others. Dean Shek steals the show here doing some form of martial arts, its typical of the time from Sammo Hung, so we get good humour with the excellent martial arts. 9.5 out of 10.

Great skills by Sir Sammo Hung. Movie Brief's more about Wing Chun martial arts. He is actor(no stunt double), director and much more. Other actors also great martial art skills.

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.

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.

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.

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 clearly Sammo Hung's tribute to the Shaw Bros. style, which set the standard for Hong Kong film-making for two decades; practically all the great Hong Kong action directors worked for Shaw Bros. at one time, or paid tribute to it in one way or another, up until about 1993. The earmarks of the style developed at Shaw studios include heavy use of elaborate sound-stage exteriors; very steady camera-work with occasional hand-held close-ups for effect, a particularly atmospheric lighting that nonetheless emphasized primary colors. A particular aspect of Shaw narrative style is that the villain would usually be either of aristocratic stock or would have certain aristocratic qualities that would make him admirable if he weren't so greedy or power hungry. The Shaw heroes were always remarkably virtuous, and usually had a side-kick as noble, and sometimes as skilled. The typical Shaw film involved an elder, sometimes of aristocratic background, sometimes simply aristocratic in quality, and usually well-known as a martial-arts master; unfortunately this elder is always doomed to be the villain's chief victim, thus setting the heroes out on their quest for revenge. All these elements are here - every last one - and accomplished with a high quality professional finesse. with this film, Hung demonstrated his command of the medium as Hong Kong film audiences understood it according to the highest standards held for it at the time. And, of course, it must be admitted that the film is rip-roaring fun for any real fan of the martial-arts genre. Not necessarily a classic, but certainly looks as good as one!

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.

Mo played by Hark-on Fung has opened up a bank in town. In a great dialogue scene with his henchmen, he stares at the camera and reveals his plans. The bank is just a cover up. I`ve got other plans. The henchman with a big scar flinches and looks at Mo. -What do you have in mind? Camera zoom. - I`m going to own this town. The first real scene of the movie (the tiresome comic relief aside) shows Mo`s swordsmen riding into town, strutting into the local teahouse and asks for a table. They demand the biggest and best table, but the host politely informs that the table is reserved for Mr Liang Tsan, the town doctor and filantropist. Of course the swordsmen pay no attantion, and soon they have drawn swords, after just 5 minutes in town. Liang Tsan is about to engage in a fight with them when businessman Mo comes. - You`ve just arrived into town, and already you have managed to get into trouble? Get out of here. Liang Tsan immediately concludes that someone who can give orders to no good swordsmen can`t be trusted. And rightly. Mayhem is about to start, and it ends with Casanova Wong avenging Liang Tsan. In the final scene Mo reveals himself as the Praying Mantis, in an unparallelled turn of events that surpasses any kung fu flick I have ever seen. The Praying Mantis defies gravity. If not for the fact that Sammo Hung managed to ruin a lot of this film with comic reliefs, this would have been a 10/10 movie.
