The basic pattern of Jackie Chan movies

Chasing and confrontation are not simple pursuits. One party must block in the process of escaping. At the same time, there will be difficult actions. Like many cars in the film rushing down the slope, the police detective played by Jackie Chan will never give up. Fighting spirit, such as hooking the bus with an umbrella in the film.

Reality is false, falsehood is real.

The brilliant passage in the middle is basically this kind of pattern. For example, at the beginning, Jackie Chan's partner pretended to be a killer to assassinate Brigitte Lin, only shouting but not doing anything. In the end, he was hit by a can of Brigitte Lin and collapsed to the ground, almost revealing his identity. Jackie Chan pretended to resign from the protection job to get Brigitte Lin's active cooperation. Brigitte Lin believed it to be true and was frightened. Just when Jackie Chan raised his eyebrows, suddenly the real killer appeared.

Similarly, the second narrative paragraph is mainly between Jackie Chan and Maggie Cheung. Jackie Chan boasted about his ability to tame his girlfriend in front of other women, and held himself high, but he didn't care about his girlfriend's face.

The third narrative paragraph is even more brilliant. In fact, the most interesting joke should be the meat joke. Just like here, in reality, the cactus passes through the tape recorder and then through the speakers in the courtroom, and suddenly it becomes something that you and I know needless to say, which is hilarious.

Of course, the theme of Jackie Chan's films is always positive. Although there have been occasional confrontations between people and the system in the film, there is still no escape from the final outcome of individuals being attached to the system, even for heroic characters.
