Looking back at the Hong Kong films of the last century, although the Huang Feihong series has far more bugs than the current film and is full of mistakes in historical common sense, the main idea expressed in this series is that Chinese people should strengthen themselves. Compared with those movies of the last century, the main idea of this "Chasing the Dragon" is completely: "British dad's thick and big things make small crystal chrysanthemums so painful."
Although there are also evil forces composed of Westerners in the Huang Feihong series, Huang Feihong spends most of his time fighting against the mud-legged compradors hired by them in China, and the films directed by Tsui Hark do not hesitate to create a positive image of Westerners And highlight the gap between Chinese and Western culture and technology at that time. Other villains include the White Lotus Sect, Boxer Rebellion, court minions who capture progressives, local underworld... Defeating these people symbolizes the self-improvement of the Chinese people.
The Russian official who carried out the important task of assassinating Li Hongzhang in Huang Feihong's movie is young and handsome, and his speech is gentle and elegant. If the mission fails, he is directly silenced by his own people on the spot, while the British villain in "Chasing the Dragon" is a mentally retarded person who only shows off himself from beginning to end. The giant baby of British identity is indeed covered by the British government like Sun Xiaoguo's mother protecting the calf.
In the end, when the protagonist killed the villain, he said "this is our Hong Kong", I almost laughed out loud, and portrayed a murderous drug dealer into a tortured victim who was oppressed all the year round. Only Wang Jing can do it.
