If anyone’s movie can be called a never-seeable movie, it’s not the whole world, as far as China is concerned, it must be Jackie Chan’s movie.

Uncle Long’s acting skills naturally have nothing to say. After all, he is the first actor to win the Golden Horse Award. But there is one more point. Uncle Long is also very good at paying tribute. For example, in the first film, from The section where the clock tower jumped down is a tribute to the 1923 movie "Safety First". The starring role of this black-and-white film is the three big silent film superstars of the silent film era who are as famous as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Harold Lloyd

    I still remember when my brother told me that as long as I heard that a movie had a sequel, I would go for the first one.

    In this film, Jackie Chan and the police scum, the revolutionaries, the masters of the Qing court and the remaining pirates have intricate conflicts and entanglements, and the dangers encountered include assassination, frame-up, attack, and revenge. The plot can be described as ups and downs, nervous and exciting, and full of misplaced jokes that Jackie Chan prefers to show embarrassing situations and turn evil into good fortune. It is quite good-looking. What's more interesting is that although this film also added revolutionary elements from Tsui Hark's "Knife and Horse", Jackie Chan also made a declaration of freedom to examine the revolutionary politics from the perspective of a small social figure, which is quite meaningful.
