      ordinary work

      During the Guangxu period, corrupt officials were rampant, and the wind of selling officials and vassals was rampant. Zhizhou, who bought an official and took office, was greedy for money and lust, and after taking office, he looted the people's fat and the people's cream. Coupled with the floods in the local area, when this natural disaster and man-made disaster occurs, the people will not be able to survive.
      In this case, there is a local superhero, Bruce Wayne.
      He practiced...

      This is probably Yuan Heping's best action movie

      Speaking of an old costume movie "Young Huang Feihong: Iron Horse Liu", Ma Liu is a monkey in Cantonese, so the Mandarin dubbed version is also called Iron Monkey. At that time, it was the golden age of Hong Kong martial arts films. Tsui Hark's "Once Upon a Time" series cultivated one of the most famous superhero IPs in Chinese movies: Wong Fei Hung. This iron monkey named "Junior Huang Feihong" is one of the many rumored stories of Huang Feihong. Borrowing the oriental secrets of "Crouching...

      Still looks classic

      "Iron Horse" suffered a fiasco at the box office when it premiered in Hong Kong in 1993. When it was re-released in the United States in 2000, it received unprecedented praise and won the box office champion at the time. In 2010, it seems that this film is not out of date, and many details in the film highlight Yuan Heping's intentions.

      In 1993, Donnie Yen was still in a state of half red and not purple. Although his skills were very good, his appearance at that time always gave...

      World Action Only Me HK

      The current movies really make me unable to complain, and basically I lose interest in watching it after five minutes. In my free time, I watch some movies from the 80s and 90s on the Internet. What I am referring to is mainly Hong Kong movies.
      I am born in the 70s, an authentic Hong Kong film fan. It can be said that most famous and unknown Hong Kong movies have been seen. Hong Kong movies are heavy gimmicks, but there are also actors with very good acting skills, such as Leung Ka Fai,...

      The peak of Hong Kong martial arts-highly recommended to friends who like martial arts movies

      This movie may be due to lack of publicity, and it seems that not many people have watched it, but when I recalled watching this movie at that time, it was really shocking.
      The imagination of Yuan Heping’s action design is fully demonstrated in this film. Although the people in the film are flying around, the feeling is relatively real (unlike many films where you can see the actors in the "flying" During the process, the body will "sway" centered on the waist, ^_^).
      Recently I bought...

      At the end of the battle of the sea of ​​​​fire, you can give four points, the martial arts action is really awesome! I don't know why this year's martial arts action movies have been silenced. No matter how good the special effects are, they don't have the same feeling of one move and one style in the...

    Evaluation action

    The film is written and produced by Tsui Hark and tells the story of Huang Feihong's youth, but the thick ink composes the love of Huang Qiying and his son, which is rarely seen in the works of Woo Ping Yuen. As for the action scenes, Woo Ping Yuen returned to traditional kung fu movies, shooting more coherent real actions without stopping the machine, which was particularly violent and exciting. The "Shadowless Legs" kicked out with a...
