JET LI Twin Warriors [Part 02] : This film is one of the best examples of Jet Li's masterpiece before he headed out to Hollywood. Directed by Yuen Woo Ping, who has also taken his talent onto the US, this film is a true masterpiece of Hong Kong cinema. The story itself is a traditional one of childhood friends that end up mortal enemies (see Yuen Woo Ping's 1980 offering; Buddhist Fist). It is simple but works really well, as Chin Siu Ho ends up becoming really really evil. The main characters have more than adequate support from Michelle Yeoh who turns in one of her best performances.

JET LI Twin Warriors [Part 01] : Directed by the legendary Yuen Woo Ping ... this is the story of two young orphans that grow up as friends in the Shaolin monastery. While both undergo their kung fu training Junbao (Jet Li) learns the teachings of the Buddha, while Tianbao (Chin Siu Ho, originally Donnie Yen was lined up for this role) thinks only of becoming the best fighter in the monastery. After being expelled from Shaolin the two friends find their own personal philosophies begin to draw them apart. Junbao becomes a friend of the anti-government movement (amongst whom is Michelle Yeoh). While Tianbao joins the government's forces in the hope of rising quickly to a position of power. The two friends part company but their paths are soon to cross again.
