* ActorAllusion: Gao Jin-zhong in the final battle wields a three-bladed trident to rough up the heroes. Fittingly enough, he's played by Lu Feng, the same actor who played the trident-swinging primary antagonist from ''Film/MaskedAvengers''.

''Two Champions of Shaolin'' is a 1980 MartialArtsMovie directed by Chang Cheh, produced and released by Creator/ShawBrothers as part of their series of kung-fu films starring the Venoms Mob.
The Shaolin sect have formed an underground rebellion against the tyranny of the Manchu government, but they're being hunted by traitors of the martial world - the Wu Tang clan, backed by the Manchus. When a Shaolin pupil, Tong Qian-jin (Lo Meng), seeks his fellow compatriot Hu Hui-gan in order to establish an alliance, assassins from the Wu Tang are more than eager to prevent their meeting. After their rendezvous, Tong and Hu ends up facing opposition from killers at every corner, including the boomerang-chucking mercenary Li De-zong and the notorious Manchu fighter Gao Jin-zhong (Lu Feng). Along the way, Tong ends up falling for the daughter of a fellow resistance leader...
It's worth noting that this is one of the few Venoms Mob film that ''doesn't'' feature their biggest star, Philip Kwok, although Philip did lend a hand in choreographing the numerous action scenes.
----
!!Two Tropers of Shaolin:
* AnimatedCreditsOpening: The film opens with an animated montage featuring the cast fighting each other. With LimitedAnimation achieved mostly by still frames, however.
* BattleBoomerang: Li De-zong, who have dozens of bladed boomerangs strapped to his thighs used for sneak attacks. Tong Qian-jin's first phases of training involves him figuring a way to deflect those boomerangs to defeat De-zong.
* BladeOnAStick: Gao Jin-zhong in the final battle wields a three-bladed trident to rough up the heroes. Fittingly enough, he's played by Lu Feng, the [[ActorAllusion same actor who played the trident-swinging primary antagonist]] from ''Film/MaskedAvengers''.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Many characters ends up coughing blood after getting hit one time too many, as a way for the film to indicate they're badly wounded (given how majority of the film's action sequences are hand-to-hand fights). The heroes have plenty of blood trickling from their lips in the finale, and [[spoiler: Gao Jin-zhong, the main villain, visibly leaks plenty of red at the point of his death, given how his demise involves his innards getting crushed alongside his folded spine]].
* CatchAndReturn: When Tong Qian-jin duels Li De-zong in their final encounter, Li De-zong as usual tries to ambush the hero with his boomerang blades. Tong however had trained himself to catch those blades in mid-air, and hurls it back.
* CrusadingWidower: Tong Qian-jin in the third and last act of the film, swearing to tear the Wu Tang clan a new hole because in their attempts to eliminate him over defeating the Wu Tang clan, their assassin [[spoiler: Li Er-huan ends up killing his bride, Bi-erh instead]]. All these which leads to the lengthy RoaringRampageOfRevenge climatic finale...
* DarkActionGirl: Li Er-huan, [[spoiler: the daughter of Li De-zong and sole female antagonist of the picture]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Li De-zong, the assassin who wields bladed boomerangs, puts up a far better fight than any of the regular mooks, but he's defeated halfway into the film. The rest of the movie then deals with the true main villain, Gao Jin-zhong.
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Befitting the film being a Shaw-produced martial arts movie...
* FoldSpindleMutilation: [[spoiler: The fate of Gao Jin-zhong, the main villain, in the hands of Tong Qian-jin and Hu Hui-gan]]. Complete with popping sound effects (that sounds more like bamboo sticks being crunched instead of a human body).
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Tong Qian-jin and Hu Hui-gan prefers fighting with their bare hands in most of their action sequences, even in brawls where their enemies have weapons. And they turn out to be far better than any armed opponents.
* ImpairmentShot: In the final battle, Tong Qian-jin have his vision blurred after getting hit in the back of his head by Gao Jin-zhong's trident, a hit which he ''barely'' survives. As he tries to regain his stance, he starts seeing triple images and ahve to fight in this state or die.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: A band of elite Wudang thugs attempts to ambush Tong Qian-jin while wearing monkey masks.
* PoisonedWeapons: Gao Jin-zhong, besides his trident, also have three poisoned needles which he use to ambush and kill a few minor heroes. By the final battle however he had run out of those needles.
* RevengeMyopia: [[spoiler: Li Er-huan, the daughter of the slain villain Li De-zong, works for the villains and kills Bi-erh, the bride of Tong Qian-jin, in order to avenge father. Never mind her father is an enemy who tried to wipe out the heroes, and he was killed in a fair fight. Nevertheless Er-huan gets eliminated shortly afterwards]].
* StockWushuWeapons: The villains prefers using the ''dao'' and ''qiang'', the ''gun'' (staff) is used by the heroes during sparring scenes, while the main villain, Gao Jin-zhong, uses the ''cha'' (trident) in his final battle.
* TrainingMontage: Being a kung-fu movie made by the Shaws, there's multiple training scenes in between all the action.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Tong Qian-jin and Hu Hui-gan both fight bare-chested, as does many trainees and practitioners.
* WidowedAtTheWedding: The male version of this trope occurs at the end of the second act; having defeated the Wu Tang clan, Tong Qian-jin had fallen in love with Jin Bi-erh, the rebel girl who trained him. She had feelings for him too, so both of them gets married... only for Bi-erh to be assassinated on her wedding night by assassins sent by the Wu Tang.
