Two Great Sheep (simplified Chinese: 好大一对羊; traditional Chinese: 好大一對羊; pinyin: Hǎo dà yī dùi yáng) is a 2004 satirical Chinese film directed by Liu Hao and cast primarily with unknown actors.
Two Great Sheep tells the gentle story of a peasant couple, played by Sun Yunkun and Jiang Zhikun, who are charged with caring for two foreign sheep that they must somehow breed for the community.
Liu's second film and the first under government approval, Two Great Sheep can be located as part of a broader trend of independent Chinese filmmakers switching their focuses to state-approved productions during the early years of the 21st century. Besides Liu, these years saw many of the leading figures of the "sixth-generation" turning in their first SARFT-approved productions, including Jia Zhangke (2004's The World), Zhu Wen (2004's South of the Clouds), and Wang Xiaoshuai (2005's Shanghai Dreams).
Two Great Sheep premiered at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival on September 14, 2004.
