Arrow Video and Fortune Star have been gradually working
through releasing all of the films starring and/or directed by Sammo Hung,
churning out his Golden Harvest filmography including but not limited to John
Woo’s Hand of Death and Hung’s own Knockabout, Millionaire’s
Express and most recently Heart of Dragon. Their latest effort concerns Sammo Hung’s
1978 Raymond Chow production, the Wing Chun martial arts actioner Warriors
Two, a film which toned down the violence associated with Hung’s debut The
Iron-Fisted Monk while amping up Hung’s own unique brand of fat guy stereotype
buddy comedy shenanigans. The result is
a film that is widely considered to be among the more authentic and believable
interpretations of the teachings of Wing Chun hand-to-hand combat
onscreen.
