Trickshot reviews kung fu films!
If your going purchase a kung fu film I suggest you make it this one. Directed by and starring Sammo Hung this is in my opinion his best film and easily one of the best Golden Harvest productions of the late 70's and early 80's. The plot revolves around cashier Hua (played by Cassanova Wong) who works in the local bank in a town called Fu Shan. He over hears his boss plot to kill the town official and quickly tells the local authority. Instead of being rewarded his actions he finds himself being ruthlessly persued by a gang of weapon wealding henchmen. Wounded he takes refuge with his friend Ya Chun (Sammo). In an attempt to out Hua from hiding the bad guys kill his mother. Now desperate for revenge and unable to do anything about it Hua decides to learn kung fu from Ya Chun's master (Leung Kar Yan). Slowly but surely he masters the art of wing chun. Eventually the news of Hua's whereabouts reach the bad guys and not long after his master is killed. Now with the help of his fellow students the revenge is coming! This movie is packed with action and it's choreographed to perfection. There's a nice blend of authentic wing chun and crazy techniques such as the mantis style peformed well by Fong Hak On. It's not all fighting, there is alot of fun here too, as you would expect from Sammo. Warriors Two is a must see for all kung fu movie fans...
The best Kung Fu film ever!
Sammo Hung is outstanding infront and behind the camera, producing an old school martial arts movie which betters 'Drunken Master' and 'Magnificent Butcher' in terms of both fight sequences and humour. Casanova Wong, who i first saw in the best fight ever captured on celluloid, opposite Bruce Lee in Game of Death (uncut, in a conservatory,ALL KICKS!) is the star of the film. His leg kung fu seems somewhat wasted in a Wing Chun based movie, although the opening scene and the flying spin kick at the end show just how good he was. Great support from Leung kar-lan and Fung Hark On surpass the pure cheese story (there isn't one, really) and the fights are just so amazing. A classic and a definite purchase for any martial arts fans.
What other martial art film is better than Warriors 2!
When it comes to leg kung-fu there is no one on the planet who can even lick the boots of Cassanova Wong, indeed the famous flying-spin kick over the table does nothing except exemplify this.Samo shows once again that when it comes to direction & choreography he's up thre with the very best, I guess all I can say about W2 is that it is without question the greatest of all Kung-Fu films, a real masterpiece. All fans of video should have this classic in their collection no matter their taste.
