1978 - WARRIORS 2, Sammo Hung's slam bang action/comedy film

Another mix of that odd humor and martial arts action that came out of Asia for a while.  The actor/director and writer Sammo Hung has made a deceptively simple action film.

Warriors 2 starts out with a lot of goofy Sammo humor.  Sammo is attempting to sell pork balls or something.  After a lot of lame comedy the film settles down into a sort of revenge flick with Sammo and his friend Cashier Hua attempting to bring to justice a corrupt mayor who has killed Hua's mother. The film contains a long and interesting training sequence where Kung Fu master Mr. Tsan an expert on  the Wing Chun art of fighting, trains Cashier Hua for the big fight climax that the film has been building to.

 

But the reality is nobody watching this film is tuning in for the plot.  Bring on the fighting.  The last 30 to 40 minutes of Warriors 2 is a lengthy fight scene which is quite exciting to watch and extremely impressive as a piece of action cinema.

 

Running time on this film is 90 skull pounding minutes.
