"Double Dragon Club" is a 1992 Hong Kong action comedy film directed by the famous Hong Kong director Tsui Hark. Jackie Chan plays two roles. The name of the film cleverly uses the ancient martial arts word "Double Dragon Club", with the starring "Jackie Chan". "The name formed a clever chemical reaction; the box office reputation after the film was released was considered ideal at the time, but with the development of time, the film is still in the eyes of Hong Kong film enthusiasts and Uncle Long fans. The classic "Long's Action Comedy" is worth watching.
Speaking of the "Double Dragon Club" twins idea, the first actually came from the 1967 Indian movie "Ram Aur Shyam" (Ram Aur Shyam) , which tells the story of two men who look exactly the same and get caught by mistakes. A story of misrecognizing the other person and living the other person's life.
Subsequently, "Double Dragon Club" made a lot of changes to the plot. The story tells the story of a pair of newborn twin babies in a hospital chase by police and robbers. One of the babies was unfortunately hijacked by robbers and finally lost. Since then, the two The lives and destiny of the twins have undergone earth-shaking changes, and because of their destiny, the twins reunited by fate again after they grew up and embarked on an interesting and exciting adventure under the circumstances.
Jackie Chan’s comedy cell and action talent are integrated with the two characters in the film. With Teddy Robin and other gold medal comedy supporting roles, it produces very interesting bridge burdens and classic dragon-like action scenes; in the story The most profound points, using the rationality of the story and the art of camera editing, allow the audience to appreciate the interaction between the twins through encounters and other people from the perspective of onlookers. It can be said that the original work is in the story. The top quality is the most interesting part.
As far as the industry is concerned, the technological madman Tsui Hark has followed Hollywood’s computer synthesis technology to show the two Jackie Chan images in the same frame through editing and overlapping methods. Taking into account that the Hong Kong film industry in the 1990s paid more attention to The real materiality is not special effects. From the current perspective, the special effects in the same frame are a bit stiff, but they are still more sensational in the eyes of the audience in the 90s.
In 1994, North India remakes "Double Dragon Club", with two roles played by Salman Khan, one of the "Three Indian Khan"; the film basically follows the Hong Kong version of "Double Dragon Club". "Most of the settings, including plot, character, baggage, etc., have slightly changed the details to make the story more localized, but basically there are no major changes, and there are not too many innovations. As the Indian version of "Double Dragon Club" comes with Indian characteristics and the actors' wonderful interpretation, although the Indian version of "Judwaa" (Judwaa) in 1994 is not as stunning as the Hong Kong version, it is still well-watched.
And in 2017, 23 years later, Bollywood made another shot of "Double Dragon Club". The director of the 94 remake, David Dhawan, restarted the 1994 version and named the 17th edition as " "Judwaa 2" (Judwaa 2), the starring was changed from Salman Khan to the new-generation Bollywood movie star Varun Dhawan; the reason why it is considered to be a restart is that "Judwaa 2" It is basically imprinted with the same template as the previous work, and the direction of the story is almost exactly the same as that of the previous work and the Hong Kong version; it is worth mentioning that the overall story setting may have been slightly changed, and the Hong Kong version’s younger brother returned to Hong Kong from the United States. In the Indian version, the younger brother returned to Mumbai from the United States, and the setting of "Double Dragon Club 2" was reversed. The brother in India fled to the United Kingdom and met his brother in the United Kingdom. Although the settings have changed, at the same time It will also bring some different details, but in the final analysis it is still the same routine and framework, which can be changed but not new.
The sequel is also called "Double Dragon Club 2" because the previous work Salman Khan also played a role in this work, and even if the stories of the two protagonists are the same again, logically look at the previous work and the sequel. The stories are all based on the same worldview, so the overall look is more like a restart of Jiang Lang's talents, and it also hammers Bollywood that there is really not much capability for this script.
The interpretation of twins on the screen has never stopped. There is the historical film "The Man in the Iron Mask" of the last century, and there is also the romantic comedy "The Parent Trap" (The Parent Trap). Recently, there is Tom Hardy's gangster movie "Legend" and Mark Ruffalo's limited drama "I Know This Much Is True" (I Know This Much Is True) Twins who look exactly the same can not only bring a wonderful taste of fun to the film, but also serve as the mystery of the suspense film throughout the film; the two corners themselves are also a greater test of the actor’s ability, especially in the film In a story-based movie, the interpretation of the role every minute can affect the audience's sense of substitution and perception experience.
The Hong Kong version of "Double Dragon Club" contains classic dragon moves and very clever comedy sections. Although the immaturity of the special effects in the same frame can be clearly felt, it is still a high-quality work on the whole, two from India. The remake can only be regarded as a "skin-changing" work with a relatively high degree of restoration, and when all three works have been watched, the most impressive probability for the audience is the first encounter between the two characters in a restaurant. After the film Halfway through the bath room meeting, there are also three works of double female protagonists with all-in-one looks.
