The Brave Archer 2

The Brave Archer 2 (射鵰英雄傳續集), also known as Kungfu Warlord 2, is a 1978 Hong Kong wuxia film adapted from the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong. The film was produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio and directed by Chang Cheh, starring Alexander Fu and Niu-niu. The film is the second part of a trilogy and was preceded by The Brave Archer (1977) and followed by The Brave Archer 3 (1981). The trilogy has two unofficial sequels, The Brave Archer and His Mate (1982) and Little Dragon Maiden (1983).

Huang Rong is taken hostage by Ouyang Feng, who attempts to use her to seize the Jiuyin Zhenjing. After Guo Jing and Hong Qigong rescue Huang Rong, Guo Jing gives Ouyang Feng a fake copy of the manual, leading him to practise the skills incorrectly and end up in a zouhuorumo state. Ouyang Feng, Hong Qigong and Guo Jing get into a fight, in which Ouyang Ke is injured while Guo Jing and Hong Qigong use the opportunity to escape. However, Hong Qigong is also wounded and he gives Huang Rong his Dog Beating Staff, effectively handing over his leadership of the Beggar Clan to her. Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke pursue Guo Jing and Huang Rong to a deserted town for revenge. Guo Jing and Huang Rong take shelter in an abandoned tavern inhabited by only Shagu.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong meet Zhou Botong again to find treasure. Guo Jing is wounded so Zhou Botong fights with Ouyang Feng, while Guo Jing retreats with Huang Rong so that he can get time to heal. They find a secret chamber in the abandoned tavern and hide there while Guo Jing recuperates. At this point, the story splits into several subplots, all taking place in the tavern. Yang Kang kills Ouyang Ke when the latter is about to molest Mu Nianci, and takes the Dog Beating Staff, which Huang Rong had carelessly dropped; Lu Guanying comes in search of Guo Jing; Mei Chaofeng appears and fights with the "Seven Immortals of Quanzhen". Huang Yaoshi comes here in search of his daughter, so Guo Jing and Huang Rong come out of their hiding place to meet him. Huang Yaoshi takes Shagu back to Peach Blossom Island after realising that she is the daughter of one of his former apprentices.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong are kidnapped by members of the Beggar Clan later, who do not recognise them. Just then, Qiu Qianren comes to confront the Beggar Clan. Yang Kang lies that he is the new chief of the Beggar Clan as he has the Dog Beating Staff. However, Guo Jing and Huang Rong break free and challenge Yang Kang. Yang Kang's lies are exposed and he escapes to join Qiu Qianren, while Huang Rong is recognised as the new chief of the Beggar Clan.
