Warriors Two(Chinese:Tán tiên sinh cùng thối tiền lẻ hoa) is a 1978Hong Kong martial arts filmwritten and directed bySammo Hung,who also co-stars in the film. The film starsBryan Leung,Casanova Wongand Fung Hak-on. Leung plays the character of the historical figure,Leung Jan(or Leung Tsan), a well-known early practitioner of theWing Chunstyle of kung fu. Leung's association with Wing Chun can be considered as the equivalent ofWong Fei-hung's association with theHung Garstyle.

Along withThe Prodigal Son,Warriors Twois considered one of the best martial arts film displaying the authentic version of the Wing Chun style. Despite the title,Warriors Twois 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".

Plot[edit]

Mr. Tsan is a doctor and master of Wing Chun who can trace his martial lineage back to the style's founder. He is grudgingly persuaded by Fei Chun, his lead student, to teach kung fu to Cashier Hua, a patient hiding out at his residence. Hua had previously overheard a businessman named Mo 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 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 it is unclear whether he escapes or is killed after a protracted fight.

Meanwhile, Tsan 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 Tsan's niece split up to use specific Wing Chun styles against Mo's leading fighters. Trouble mounts when it is discovered that Fei mixed up the fighter's names and each of Tsan's students have to improvise in order to win against their opponents.
