Simply A Masterpiece

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This Hong Kong action film follows the lives of Junbao and Chin Bo who grow up learning Kung Fu in a Shaolin temple. They are eventually expelled when Chin Bo goes too far and nearly kills a fellow student who cheated in a fight. In the outside world the two initially stick together; they get into a number of fights as they help people but eventually they go their separate ways; Chin Bo joins the army of the oppressive local governor and Junbao helps the local rebels. Inevitably they will ultimately have to face each other.Those looking for lots of action and spectacular over-the-top fight scenes should enjoy this. The story is simple but effective and the characters are fun. Jet Li is on great form as Junbao and he is ably supported by Michelle Yeoh as a fellow rebel. Siu-Ho Chin is also impressive as Chin Bo; making the character likable in the earlier part of the film but believably despicable when he joins the army and becomes more and more brutal. The fights aren't exactly realistic but that is part of their charm. As well as plenty of action there are lots of genuinely funny moments. There are quite a few deaths and a fair amount of blood but this isn't too disturbing as the blood is unrealistically orange tinted! Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody wanting plenty of martial arts action and lots of laughs.This comments are based on watching the 'Tai-Chi Master' version of the film in Cantonese with English subtitles.

My opinion is that Twin Warriors is a very good movie.The story is fascinating and the fighting style is great.Is also a good introduction in Tai Chi-a nice style.Jet Li has a very good presentation in this movie that's why i think is the best actor of martial arts that ever was.The idea of becoming crazy to learn Tai Chi is also a great one.I think that crazy people have a clear mind and is true that u can learn one style in that time and make yourself healthy.My advice is to see this movie not once,many more times because it deserves it. Here u got a small commentary: "Jet Li was a monk in Shaolin. In a friendly competition for a higher place in Shaolin, he was betrayed and framed for using weapons (which cannot be used in the competition). He and his friend got kicked out of the Shaolin. They met rebellions at that time of China. His friend betrayed Jet Li and his rebellion friends for money from the China government. Jet Li went crazy and discovered the art of Tai Chi at the recover period. Revenge seem to the only thing he is going to do." So i'm sure u will like it.:)

This really doesn't amount to anything much. The story of this film is merely OK, the acting is not good, the fights and some of the dialog really make no sense at times and the thing I found most confusing, was whether this was supposed to be an honest film or if it was intended to be some comedic spoof. Regardless of the way you watch Twin Warriors, the film is just not good although I must admit the bad synchronization on part of the American distributor made it worse at times. To me it just felt like a bad Spencer/Hill flick for kids between 8 and 12. Nothing seemed intentionally funny and I was not laughing at the film, but about it (if I was laughing at all).4,5 (with a 4 given upon voting and 0,5 added because the film MUST have bit better in it's original language)

Twin Warriors succeeds as a martial arts film because it keeps us entertained with almost a constant stream of highflying action sequences. However, due in part to poor dubbing; the drama scenes between the fights are laughable.The story follows that of two friends, Chin Bo and Juanbo (Siu-hou Chin and Jet Li), two monks that becomes friends at, and later get thrown out of a Shaolin Temple. After this, they meet up with the leader of a group of rebels (Michele Yeoh), and Juanbo joins them, while Chin Bo goes off to join the emperor's army. Naturally, they meet up again along the way and their friendship is basically the main plot point of the film. As I mentioned, though; the dubbing is awful, and the script is no better. The characters talk as if they're from an upmarket part of London, and when they're both of Asian origin; it makes it very hard to take seriously. It's hard to tell whether the script is bad, or if it's just that it has been lost in translation. Because some of the lines of dialogue are cringe worthy, but that could be due to English translation; I don't know. It's the same story with the acting; none of the cast excels in the drama sections of the film, but their performance is masked by awful dubbing. Everyone deserves credit for their martial arts, however. The action sequences are generally imaginative, well crafted and entertaining; although they do have a tendency to go over the top at times; the prime example of this being when two characters are fighting in a dining hall, and a table falls apart and somehow manages to become stilts for one of the characters to stand on while fighting. I admit that it's entertaining...but come on.Credit to the cinematography department; this film does look very nice. And it does keep the audience entertained for it's duration, but that's all this film is; a crowd pleaser. It's just too silly to really be taken seriously.
