Top notch classic kung fu movie
This movie is a classic for several reasons. Most importantly, the fight scenes are great and well coreographed. Secondly, the story is actually quite good. Lastly, the comedy in the movie is beyond what I would've thought. It's LOL funny at times. Especially the scene with the hunchback guy fighting with the chopsticks. That whole segment is worth buying the movie. Don't get me wrong the english ...

Excellent Martial Arts movie
I recently viewed this with friends who are not versed in martial arts movies...and had a distaste for them as phony. The really enjoyed this movie...the main comment being that they had never seen anything like it. They were not expecting the humor, and the Lego Set fight scene that spills into the crowd really impresssed them. Special effects help the stunts but one has to be incredibly ...

Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan...
Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan... You Bak Guis didn't get it, did you? This was a Sammo Hung movie and if you were brought up in the 60's, 70's and 80's with the genre you would know that not all Chinese movies are about Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan... I am a Jackie Chan fan but I can open my mind to other types of these movies and enjoy the heck out of them. This movie paid ...

The China vs Japan mythos has never been done better
Apples vs. oranges, Chevy vs. Ford, Yankees vs. Red Sox, vanilla vs. chocolate... all great debates to be sure, but they pale in comparison to the best debate of them all, Chinese Martial Arts vs. Japanese Martial Arts! This Lau Kar-Leung (who also appears as a drunken master!) film, also known by the much better title, "Heroes of the East," delivers this battle in fantastic fashion with tons of ...

I really like this movie
To me, one of Van Damme's best movies....check it out you won't be dissapointed, and keep in mind I only like a few of his movies so I'm not one of those guys that like all the crappy movies he made.

Spectacular
Jackie Chan truly delivers a spectacular performance. In the final battle scene Jackie takes it to the extreme. This movie will surely become a classic in the martial art genre, in the pure tradition of the Bruce Lee style.

Old "Skool" Kung Fu!!
The "Victim,,this flick has to be one of the best, and well choreographed movie with Leung Kar Yan,,,he performed stellarly. The movie in it's entirety is well worth what ever the cost. I must admit,,,I went out to purchased this flick based on the hype right here on amazon,,,and I am happy with that decission. The fight scenes are AMAZING,,the old school kung fu,,emmensely wicked.

One of Sammo's best
Sammo Hung Kam-Bo's first film on Wing Chun and one of its important experts Leung Jan was the exquisite treatise named Warriors Two (1978). His second movie, The Prodigal Son (1981), would be a much more box-office successful and less didactic prequel to that film and would be his biggest hit until his next movie Carry on Pickpocket (1982). It should be noted that Sammo's importance to the ...

"When matched in strength, the one with the higher alter wins."
"Spooky Encounters" (aka Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind; 1981) is a seminal work in the hybrid genre of Hong Kong comedy/kung fu/horror films. While this had been done before by the Shaw Brother's "The Spiritual Boxer" (1975), "The Spiritual Boxer Part II" (1979) and Lo Wei's unsuccessful "Spiritual Kung Fu" (1978), "Spooky Encounters" is the film most causal in the formative kyonsi ...

An Essential Martial Arts Film!
Anyone that is a fan of martial arts needs to see this film! The film is put together very nicely, and the picture looks great. The story is very good. A students seeks vengeance on the government that killed his friends and family, and seeks out the Shaolin temple. A place where monks only get the opportunity to learn kung fu, they reject him at first but eventually accept him. The intense ...

Ode to Wing Chun
Already an established actor and action director, Sammo Hung Kam-Bo's plethora of talents would be in full display when he helmed the director's chair for his third directorial film (after Iron Fisted Monk and Enter the Fat Dragon) during the golden age of Golden Harvest. Warriors Two is the first of two excellent Sammo Hung films, with Prodigal Son being the second, involving Leung Jan, a ...

My new favorite Sammo film
I finally got to see what everybody was talking about with this. A true kung fu classic and one of the best ever for sure. Made around the same time as 'Drunken Master', this movie has that type of feel. It really feels like Yuen Woo-Ping made this movie with all the comedy and Sammo playing the old beggar who has outstanding kung fu skills, even the outdoor backround shots look the same. ...

A Different Jackie Chan movie
Jackie Chan proves he is not only an action star in this movie. I loved it, but as a true Jackie Chan fan, it would be hard not to. For the first time Jackie and Sammo show a range of emotion that American audiences have never seen before. The intense scenes between the two of them leave a Jackie fan in tears. The two things I didn't like are the fact that Jackie doesn't dub his own voice and the ...
