Warriors of the Nation | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)
RELEASE DATE: February 18, 2020
On February 18th, 2020, Well Go USA is releasing the Blu-ray for Warriors of the Nation (aka The Unity of Heroes 2) – read our review. In some territories, the film is going by the title Once Upon a Time in China: Warriors of the Nation.
Directed by Marco Mak (Colour of the Truth), this martial arts actioner stars Vincent Zhao (Once Upon a Time in China V, True Legend) as folk hero Wong Fei-hung.
After the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army tries to once again gain control in China by hiring the secret organization, The White Lotus Society, to kidnap the military minister Zhang Zhidong. Wong Fei-Hung and his disciples try once again to stop this attack and prevent another war from starting.
Warriors of the Nation also stars Wei Ni (The Unity of Heroes), Miya Muqi (Kung Fu Yoga), Michael Tong Man-Lung (Shock Wave), Li Lu-Bing (Dragon Tomb 2), Li Bing-Yuan (The Taking of Tiger Mountain), Vini Li, Lubing Chen, and Chenn Wei.
Throughout the years, Wong Fei-hung has been portrayed by various stars, most notably Kwan Tak-hing (Story of Wong Fei-hung), Jackie Chan (Drunken Master), Jet Li (Once Upon A Time in China), and Eddie Peng (Rise of the Legend).
Warriors of the Nation marks the 6th time Zhao will be playing the iconic character. He previously played him in Once Upon a Time in China IV-V, the Wong Fei Hung TV Series, and of course, the recent Kung Fu Alliance.

Seems Marco Mak is the director this time around.
AFS, who is directing New King of Comedy?
Herman Yau
Though apparently he co-directed with Chow.
Is that the White Lotus Sect? It looks like they’re remaking Once Upon a Time in China II!
It’s interesting that Wong Fei-Hung is also fighting samurai, sumo wrestlers, and jiujitsu practitioners.
Looks like Kenya Sawada (Thunderbolt, Extreme Crisis) as the Japanese villain
And the White Lotus feel gets me excited
Ah, good ol’ Sawada. Street Fighter 94 was my intro to him, but I’m glad he was better off elsewhere.
“Colonel, do you think I’m a good replacement for Fei-Long? Me fucking neither!”
I want WELLGOUSA to re release Once Upon A Time In China 4 and 5. The copies out there are really bad!
I still prefer Jet li as Wong. Hopefully it’ll be a good movie.
Is this also going to be release in DVD besides Blueray
Looks like it’s just Blu-ray.
Will they ever release this on dvd besides the BlueRay
Like the first one
Doubtful. It doesn’t look like its on their schedule.
