It looks like it's by the same artist that did the WARRIORS TWO poster I'd been searching for. I have a faded, cropped version of it on an old VHS. But I've always wanted to see it in all it's splendor.
Thanks in advance for any help! :D
Is this it?

Awesome poster.
Wait a sec, is that Bolo or Yuen Biao?
Looks like Biao to me. He's in the poster twice though.

Yeah j/k. I just didn't know that Biao has boobs like a woman :p But that is an awesome poster. You got Karl Maka, Lau with his snake and the pipe... It highlights a lot of good things about the movie. very cool. And I count Biao in the picture 3 times. maybe 4? I can't remember if he bites Lau's leg.

Nah I think that was Leung Kar Yan.

Yeah i think you are right (Leung bites so Biao can escape?). I was going to pop the movie in and make sure, but I couldn't find it. Next time I see it when I'm looking through my movies it is going in the DVD player right away.

Cartoon like posters and fronts of the old VHS releases.
I remember the Dragon Lord/Snake fist in the eagles shadow/pirate patrol/winners and sinner/wheels on meals and many more had those covers/sleeves, i miss those.
Would be cool to make DVD sized covers of those old VHS version.
The Bruce Lee UK rank covers was nice and also the same as HK Bruce Lee posters.
But who drew them? "I think the same person since the style looks the same"
An example
