Enlightenment American nonsensical comedy by a generation of Hong Kong comedy directors

American director David Zucker's first work "Airplane!" (Airplane!) succeeded in gaining popularity and was listed as "the second most funny movie in a century." After rising to fame, his films continued to have a nonsensical style. It attracted the imitation of Hong Kong's golden generation comedy director, such as Master Xing, and was hailed as the "Teacher of Enlightenment" of Master Xing.

The Chinese audience may not be familiar with this detective, but the American audience's love of "The White Headed Detective" turned into excellent box office numbers, which drove the film company to shoot the trilogy. The change of director in the third episode caused a drop in the box office. It coincides with the recent release of the first and second episodes of "The White Headed Detective" on the shelves of Netflix. If you want to experience the Hollywood-style nonsense, or if you are fond of Xingye movies, you may wish to watch this Series now!

The high-ranking white-headed detective is on a rampage, completely ignoring everything around him. In the first episode, he was ordered to secretly protect the Queen of England who was visiting the United States, but he repeatedly made the Queen of England outlandish... In the second episode, the Doctor of Energy is about to give a speech. It is recommended that the president develop new energy sources, and the energy industry figures who rely on stones and nuclear energy for food are in chaos. The villain intends to kidnap a doctor in the energy industry. How will the white-headed detective save the country's future?

If we discuss the plot of "The White Headed Detective Series", it is certainly not attractive, but the series did not intend to please the audience through the comic or piled up sections of the plot. The toilet, and then running on the roller coaster, implies that the movie will use unreasonable, exaggerated, and nonsensical to portray a smile. The movie is not like mainstream comedy, which makes the audience prepare to laugh. The biggest feature of the series is that the director puts a lot of laughter on the big screen, maybe it is the protagonist’s behavior or inappropriate words, and some It may be an action hidden behind the protagonist. The audience needs to discover the laughs on their own. The author can still burst into laughter after watching it three times.

I believe that Hong Kong people are familiar with some of the laughter designs. The knife-handle leather shoes developed by the doctors of the "White-headed Detective" Magic Lab enlightened the "Domestic Lingling Paint" leather shoe hair dryer. The same is the exterior leather shoes, which are essentially useless weapons. In addition, the film also deliberately satirizes politics and vigorously spoofs the Queen of England to make jokes. Fortunately, the Queen of England is very welcome to spoof or even satirize the current evils, unlike some people who can't take half an hour to show.

The film’s lead character, The White-headed Detective, has an ingenious design, causing trouble without knowing it. He is calm and easy to resolve the crisis in hindsight. The protagonist Leslie Nielsen's sneer is profound, and the audience does not laugh or laugh, but the audience is hilarious. Laughing, the hero's outstanding interpretation can make the series successful, and it should be remembered.

Rating: 8/10 (first episode), 7/10 (second episode), 6/10 (third episode)
