      Fa Ge is really old

      In "Bulletproof Monk", when the familiar scene of Fa Ge wearing a big cloak and holding a double spear again appeared, he suddenly discovered that this never-ending scene has its limits.

      In the film, Fa Ge plays a high-powered monk and hermit with a strong martial arts and unique skills. At the beginning of the film, I saw Fa Ge Zhenzhen, a big hidden city, walking alone in the downtown streets of a foreign country. Those detached and indifferent eyes were full of loneliness and...

      So the bullets hit me

      For the sake of Fa Ge's name and the fond memories Li Mubai left in my heart, I saw the bulletproof monk.

      Then I dumbly jumped on those inexplicable plots, the incomprehensible combination of the duo, and the instruments of torture that may be the highlight of the whole film.

      Thousand arrows pierced the heart.

      Fa Ge’s eyes still have Li Mubai’s vicissitudes, but it’s a little bit sour, his clothes tattered, not to mention, that American kid’s jumping up and down is...

      The battle between evil and righteousness

      In "Bulletproof Monk", when the unknown monk (Chow Yun-fat) was educating Carl (Sean William Scott), he recalled that when he was young, he disobeyed the same discipline as Carl. Enlightenment is to protect the ancient scripture scrolls, and evil talents are enlightened as righteousness). When Karl was stealing other people’s belongings, he did not forget to rescue a little girl who fell off the subway, and he did not forget to give alms to the beggars on the street when he ate hot dogs. He...

      Money grab mode movie

      Okay, let’s be honest about your motives first, not for the purpose of sending you brother, just to turn it out and brush Kuila.
      The following serious spoilers, enter with caution! ! !
      Kung fu movies have to find a representative country, so China is delineated; a story related to China must first have a Chinese, then send brother; in order to arrange a mysterious background for the story line, it may be set in Tibet. In a small temple, in order for these protagonists to have...

      This film is Chow Yun-Fat's first Hollywood film after the great success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The director has tailored a story full of oriental mystery for him. The storyline, soundtrack, action (especially getting rid of gravity), and rhythm are all messed up in this film, and Chow Yun-fat's role as a two-gun monk with Chinese kung fu is too nondescript (an Eastern-style monk is a Western-style monk) shape, the ancients speak the language of the modern). Far better than his...
