Warriors Two (Chinese: 贊先生與找錢華; Zan xian sheng yu zhao qian hua) is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Sammo Hung and released by Golden Harvest. It stars Hung, alongside Casanova Wong, Leung Kar-yan and Fung Hak-on. Leung Kar-yan plays the character of the historical figure, Leung Jan (or Leung Tsan), a well-known early practioner of the Wing Chun style of kung fu. Leung's association with Wing Chun can be considered as the equivalent of Wong Fei Hung's association with the Hung Gar style. Along with Prodigal Son, Warriors Two is considered one of the best martial arts film displaying the authentic version of the Wing Chun style.
Despite the title, Warriors Two is not a sequel. Rather it refers to the two main warriors of the film, and the literal translation of the Hong Kong title is "Mr. Tsang and Cashier Hua".
[edit] Plot
Mr. Tsan (Leung Kar-yan), is a doctor and master of Wing Chun, whose martial lineage traces back to the style's founder. He is grudgingly persuaded by Fei Chun (Sammo Hung), his lead student to teach kung fu to Cashier Hua (Casanova Wong), a patient hiding out at his residence. Hua had previously overheard a businessman named Mo (Fung Hak-on) and several of his men plotting to take over the town by killing the head of the town. Unfortunately, Hua made the mistake of warning Mo's wormy henchman, Master Yao (Dean Shek) and a trap was set that nearly cost the poor cashier his life. Whilst in hiding, Hua sends Fei Chun to warn the town head. Ignores the advice, the town head is later attacked by Mo's men, although its unclear whether he escapes or is killed after a protracted fight.
Meanwhile, Tsang runs Hua through an elaborate series of Wing Chun training sessions before he falls victim to a vicious trap set by Mo who has learned of Hua's whereabouts. With nothing left to lose, Hua, Fei Chun, and another student split up to use specific Wing Chun styles against Mo's leading fighters. Trouble mounts when its discovered that Fei mixed up the fighter's names and each of Tsang's students have to improvise in order to win against their opponents.
