      Use violence to control violence

      Black-themed crime action movie. When I was in high school, the film was introduced by China Film to be released as a blockbuster film of the year. The well-known black movie star Samuel Jackson played Shaft, while the unknown Christian Bale played a "Gao Ya Nei" character. Shaft is a police detective who uses violence to control violence. When facing crimes, he often uses non-legal means to solve privately. But he also seems to have some horns, such as facing "Gao Ya Nei", Shaft has worked...

      Maybe I also have racial discrimination?

      I recently saw this movie at station b... I clicked in and watched it entirely for Bell. At first I thought that Bell would be a positive protagonist. I didn’t expect to be a villain of a dude. It was quite unexpected. In terms of Director Ferry’s appearance... and his performance as a villain, watching him play an upright policeman. I'm not used to it. There are a lot of swear words in the whole film, and the black people speak with their own rap, and I am drunk when listening. Especially...

      A group of Black Panthers caught a drug dealer or a drug dealer escaped or was caught by the Black Panther. The leader ate his face on the windowsill. Watching the Black Panther hit his leader with a basketball and confronted the Black Panther. The leader was caught by the Black Panther. A black man brought a white woman to come and was insulted by the rich man’s language. The black man dug two holes in a white napkin and put it on the...

      It's better to call "The Underworld"

      I haven't read the original version, too old to find resources.

      How cold is this movie? Although it was a work 21 years ago, there are still past lives of Batman and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director.

      "Want my shoes?"

      What impressed me the most after reading it was not chasing cars and climbing stairs to fight gunfights, but the...

      This movie crashed me so much that it started to resemble a roar! ! !

      The first time you try to write a roaring body!
      If you write it, write it! Anyway, my whole person has collapsed now! ! !
      I didn't give 1 star just for Bale!
      The most memorable line in the whole movie is Bale's: YOU WANT MY SHOE?!
      Can't think! Details are incompetent! Please excuse me!

      Why is the opening of the film taking the pornographic route! It makes me look forward to it! Isn’t it because everyone thought that blacks were good at SEX, right? ! It still shows...

      It turns out that there are also domineering and domineering rich second generation in the United States. It turns out that there are times when American laws are unfair. It turns out that you can only solve your own problems at any time and...

      What is this translated name? After watching CSI for too many years, I really can't stand so many bugs, saying that the black man beat him, he still defended himself, did he find the black man's fingerprint on the tube, and people grabbed him and beat him again, it should be round Head down, the direction of the fingerprints is different,...

      It looks good, and the soundtrack is quite nostalgic for the old version, but the progress of the plot is...

      After the murder, the murderer and the witnesses of the rich family stayed in the same place and did not leave. The rich family is so embarrassed that they want to sell the jewelry of the dead mother and collude with the gang, which also shows that the power of the family is not reliable. The fight doesn't have to go to the point where many people are killed and wounded. The highlight is that the personalities of several characters are very public, especially the black boss who plays really...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In order to pay tribute to the 1971 film "Shaft", the film director and lead actor were invited to play guest roles in the film. The role of John Shaft played by Samuel L. Jackson was also positioned as the nephew of the old Shaft.
    The image of John Shaft in the film completely inherited the old Shaft's mantle, and the director John Daniel Singleton specially selected Samuel L. Jackson, because he took a fancy to the appearance of his...
