5.0 out of 5 stars First Class Movie, 8 Feb 2006
Fantastic movie. Right up there with Drunken Master (1978), obviously not the same on the comedy side but the kung fu is first class - Chen, Kuan-Tai's performance is outstanding (if you've seen him in Iron Monkey you'll know what I mean). Classic Shaw Brothers!

3.0 out of 5 stars Genre-defining Kung Fu, 15 Aug 2007
By Mark Angus "Sound Guy" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Shaw Brothers studios in Hong Kong were synonymous with kung fu movies long before Golden Harvest even existed, and even though they released hundreds of movies a year many of them were fantastic. They have never been officially released either on VHS or DVD. Now some of the more famous are being distributed through Momentum Asia.

Heroes Two is one of them, a martial arts epic from 1974. The plot is fairly flimsy - the evil Manchu are trying to eliminate the proud Shaolin from the country, and burn down the Fukien Shaolin Temple. Surviving Shaolin master Hung must try to evade capture whilst rebuilding the resistance movement and defeat the Manchu. What this boils down to is a series of cracking fight sequences as Hung and local celebrity kung fu master Fang fight each other, and the baddies, whilst strolling through some stunning countryside.

The film is quite beautiful, taking full advantage of both the skills of the Shaw Bros cinematographers and their huge soundstages, so that both indoor and outdoor locations look great. The cast are perhaps better martial artists than actors, but are charismatic enough to keep the film rolling. The soundtrack and music are top quality, and presented on the DVD is a crisp 2.0. Chang Cheh the director is clearly a man in full flow, merging traditional Chinese stories of heroism with the modern expectations of kick-ass kung fu. It's a great introduction to the Shaw Bros style of film.

The only slight let-down is that this DVD isn't anamorphic, but this is because the subtitles are in the main kept below the picture so as not to spoil the image. Considering the age of the film, it looks and sounds nigh on perfect. Let's hope that all the Shaw Brothers re-releases will follow suit.
