What you see is fighting, what you see is excitement

In my boring free time, it's actually not a good idea to pull out old movies and take a look. The main story of the film is placed in the American display society, which makes the film have the basic characteristics of Bruce Lee Kung Fu. After the Hollywood movie performed by Bruce Lee was broadcast, coupled with the collective appearance of the Chinese Wushu Troupe in the United States, Chinese Kung Fu was successfully introduced into the United States in the 1970s. Most people have a preliminary understanding of the new term Kung Fu, and even some Americans are very interested in learning about Chinese Kungfu.

In the film, there is no lack of protagonist Ma Hanqiang's exquisite Chinese kung fu. For example, when the punk clan headed by Tony was looting the items in Yiling's shopping mall, Hanqiang stepped forward and severely punished these hooligans. , So that the shop assistants issued a sincere admiration for Chinese Kung Fu.

However, compared with scenes and landscapes such as high-rise jumps, giant hovercraft rampages, and beatings on the halfway, the display of the former appears to be slightly inferior. For the first time, Han Qiang was blocked in a dead street by punk members who came to seek revenge. The choreographer didn’t let everyone rush, punch and kick (that would not show how powerful the protagonist is), but made In a spectacle, everyone used clubs to hit the empty wine bottle to hurt Han Qiang. Dozens of wine bottles hit the unavoidable Han Qiang like a cannonball, leaving it all over with bruises. This kind of scene structure obviously makes people feel more novel.

At the end of the film, letting the hovercraft rampage on the sea, on the beach, and even on the streets of the city, chasing and blocking, is obviously also a plot design to create an extraordinary visual spectacle. It’s because the scenes of cars and motorcycles crashing on the screen, causing people to turn over and collapse houses, have long been commonplace; the landscape of trains breaking off the track and crashing into the hall streets out of control has also been wonderful, but on the giant hovercraft. The landscape of the land and the streets seems to have not been seen on the screen at that time.

Therefore, the film captures this spectacle, makes a big fuss, and finally punishes the mafia leader with the squeeze of a hovercraft rather than the killing of martial arts. It should be said that it is a relatively successful attempt. Paying attention to injecting new visual landscapes in the cliché hunting and killing is undoubtedly one of the basic methods for plot films to gain appeal. This may be the reason why the film can make a huge income at the box office after it is shown in the United States.

Secondly, the film is also relatively strong in the cast, and the performance is also rich in certain characteristics. Ma Hanqiang, played by Jackie Chan, with his own unique naive attitude, flexible and agile skills, just rightly grasped the character's character traits of kind-heartedness, eagerness to help others, unspoken but full of compassion and sense of justice, and gave a Chinese young man living in a foreign country. The beautiful quality of the interpretation is vividly and vividly. Especially in the difficult moves and martial arts scenes of this film, Jackie Chan's performance is quite charming. For example, in a scene where Ma Hanqiang is surrounded by punk people on a tall building, seeing that there is no way out, he is so full of energy that he jumped from this skyscraper to the corridor of another building. The design and processing of such a difficult lens is fully It shows Jackie Chan's serious attitude and professionalism in performance, which reflects Jackie Chan's persistent pursuit of his acting career.

Anita Mui's performance in this film is also unique. The subtle but stubborn willful, dignified and exaggerated image depiction, coupled with the appearance of wearing gold glasses and a white suit, makes the image of a young Chinese businessman who is both shrewd and relatively simple, both kind and selfish and weak. screen.

The performance of veteran actor Dong Pi is also quite individual. Although he only had a few shots in the opening scenes of the film, his image of an old Chinese businessman who was shrewd, unremarkable, and easy to deal with still left a deep impression on people.

    Jackie Chan is still awesome, Ye Fanghua is so sexy, and Anita Mui’s comedy is too natural

    In the script of Qianglong fighting against local snakes, Brooklyn, where dragons and snakes are mixed, is very suitable for Jackie Chan's martial arts style that adapts to local conditions, but unfortunately it is anticlimactic. I feel that Anita Mui's comedy part has been deleted a lot...
