Lol, but this is the earlier version and I know not if there is a difference in picture quality between this one and the new one, like there are in Bruce Lee's movies apart from Enter The Dragon.
Also recently released, or was supposed to be but yet to see it, is Warriors Two, that is Warrriors Two as in TWO WARRRIORS not Warriors 2 the second instalment!
This is a great film and I was really luck to come across it in that local store that shall not be named! Oddly many copies on-line were selling for upwards of £30 and even over £50?! But they had it up for £10 and when I walked to the counter the guy that dealt with me knew the film?! That CEX store really does have some rather bizarre pricing, it really does.
Yuen Biao plays Leung Jan the big cheese in China for being very adept with Wing Chun before Ip Man came along and shortly after Wing Chun herself. Also starring a very young Sammo Hung who went on to become so very well known and an impressive man by any standard. The boy can move!
In a twist he was a Doctor and Leung Jan appears in Warriors Two as an older gentleman and teaches the two that much later would teach Ip Man, or one of them does hmm early in the morning and cannot quite think. Cover that in the Warrior Two post.
Like many early martial arts movies it is mixed with humour too in places and remains comical. An very old film today but still a favourite of mine and when I first watched it I was worried I would hate it or find it old and boring. A week later and followed by several viewings I can happily say that did not turn out to be the case!
