      Written before the release of the 3D version

      On January 15, 2015, three days later, the 3D version of "Kung Fu" was finally re-released. I heard that it was going to be released last year, but there has been no news for a long time. Now I finally look forward to it. My wish is to have a feast for the eyes that night.
      Thinking of this, I felt very excited. I happened to see that there was a special episode of "Kung Fu" in "Long Bin Dahua Movie", so I couldn't help watching it again. feel.
      This is my favorite of Stephen Chow's...

      best interpretation

      A generation of masters may have the beauty of sports, but this film is still the best movie to interpret "Kung Fu" so far. It seems to be a light-hearted spoof, but in fact, there are needles hidden in the silk.

      Subversion
      - The Axe Gang wears suits and ties, a Western style, the police station washes the floor, does not keep their word, and bullies women
      - Phnom Penh glasses man, looks like a middle-class civilization, but bullies the bottom, and finally dates Buck Tooth...

      Only Stephen Chow, who is also a director and screenwriter, is a thorough Stephen Chow

      Kung Fu is really an underrated great movie. Stephen Chow's personal style is strong and unified, and his attention to detail is almost perfect, which can go down in history. When I was a child, I only thought it was funny to watch Zhou Xingchi, but now I can understand his romance and tears. I always feel that Stephen Chow is another Chaplin, always using the camera to pay attention to the hardships and joys of little people. If you don't have a deep insight into the tragedy, if you don't...

      The feelings before watching the 3D version and the complaints after watching the 3D version

      The 3D version of "Kung Fu" is finally released, and here I share the little thing between me and this movie in the next ten years.
      Written before watching the 3D version (written on January 15 on the day of its release)
      At the end of 2004, I was 8 years old and "Kung Fu" was released. At that time, I was in my hometown in Jilin City, Northeast China. There was only one theater, and the Jilin Railway Culture Palace released this film. I clearly remember that there was a big poster at...

      Look at kung fu again, it has been ten years

      The re-screening of the 3D version of Kung Fu is not so much going to the cinema to watch the 3D version, but rather wanting to relive Zhou Xingchi's classic works in front of the big screen.
      Sitting in the movie theater, all the fighting lines are so familiar. In fact, we all know very well: Feng Xiaogang will be cut off by an axe while running; When the knife is thrown, he will throw it on his shoulder, and then the two flying knives will become his rear mirror when he escapes and runs....

      The degree of completion is still high, and the overall fluency can be described as the pinnacle of Xingye. Not only is the rhythm controlled and relaxed, but it also has the highest artistic conception in its audio-visual language. The image emerges from the soundtrack alone. Many places have the taste of Tsui Hark, especially in the performance of martial arts artistic conception, but it is undeniable that the things from the hands of Xing Ye are still richer in style. The perfect combination...

      [Wu University] A movie that you can only watch once. The more I watch it, the more I find that Zhou is not capable of directing, not to mention some bugs, the scene scheduling in many places is too weak, and the innovation in imitating Kurosawa Akira, The Matrix, and Kim Kelly is insufficient. Revisited on September 1, 2007, I feel that the music cooperates well, and the kung fu is also good, plus one...

      Stephen Chow's best movie so...

    Movie plot

    The story takes place somewhere in southern China in the 1930s. The gangster axe gang bullied the local market, and bribed the local police to escape the charges.
    Ah Xing (played by Stephen Chow) dreams of becoming a gangster all day long, but is not strong in will and can do nothing. I had to pretend to be the axe gang and ran to the slum that the gang had no time to take care of-the pig cage city to blackmail some money. Unexpectedly,...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Yuan Qiu, who starred in the "Chartered Woman", is a rare female martial artist in the circle and has participated in 007 movies. Before starring in "Kung Fu", she had been married for many years and was only re-emerged under the repeated invitation of Star Master.
    "Tailor" Zhao Zhiling was a student of Wong Feihong and was an apprentice of Huang Feihong. He was active in Hong Kong kung fu movies in the 1970s. 
    According to Yuan Qiu’s...

    Evaluation action

    Chinese action movies are usually full of serious and religious colors, but Zhou Xingchi runs counter to this serious genre. He reminded the audience in his own way that film art not only shows nobility and sacrifice, but also one of its traditions  (The New York Times film critic Scott) .
    "Kung Fu" spent three years and tens of millions of dollars was not in vain, not inferior to Hollywood. After the refurbishment, an endless stream...
