      Glad to be able to take so many scenes in China

      Most of the films were shot in China, so I'm very happy. In this way, it has a different taste, and it is also very cordial to have a large number of Hong Kong stars joining. When the protagonist was riding a motorcycle on the Great Wall, it was really exciting, but at the time I was thinking, what if I crashed the wall! However, when the protagonist and Ren Dahua sparred, they destroyed so many terracotta warriors and horses, so I no longer have to worry about them, they are all props....

      throw eggs

      Overall, it's okay, but I didn't expect the director to look at us with such a unique perspective. It seems that a great country with thousands of years of history can't even match the level of civilization of an African tribe.
      It is said that the origin of life could have been filmed in depth, so why let a director who is drenched in water do it like this?
      If you don't know much about China, don't say anything. The public anger of more than one billion people is enough for you....

      Angry!

      I really don't understand why American movies always vilify China
      's poor knowledge of China and use it as a background.
      From Datong to Shanghai 74km, I don't know which crew contributed to
      it, so don't shoot randomly if you don't understand!

      In fact, I don't ask others to know China very well,
      but at least they must be objective . RDH is not

      a good thing.
      This role, Donnie Yen felt that it was an insult to the image of the Chinese people, so he...

      The Wandering Adventure of the Hypothesis of the Historical Legend


      I haven't played this game, knowing that this movie started with the episode "Elevation" of U2 in "Tenth Screening Room". When I came to listen to it, I was immediately attracted by this dynamic song (it happened in high school). However, I actually saw a movie (and not the first one) when I got up early this morning (it's been a week or two since school started, and I haven't had time to watch a movie).
       
      I really didn't expect Ren Dahua to play a gangster named Chen Luo. A...

      Joke movie

      There is a very old scene in this movie.

      An actor (forgot who it was) picked up a box and said in Chinese characters: "Handle carefully."

      "Handle carefully" is not Chinese at all, what does that mean? Later, I guessed that in order to reflect that the background of the story was China (or to appear more real) when the film was shot, some Chinese were specially written in the scene. If you can't find someone to translate (or are too lazy), you may use a computer. But...

      1. I can see the location of the Lijiang River at a glance; 2. The second part of Jolie's handsome film is not very nutritious; 3. There are so many Chinese people, why do foreign movies find Chinese supporting roles that are only lame in Mandarin? Powerless to...

      The goddess in our country likes to shoot artistic films, and the men in the film love to live and die by posing. Other goddesses like to carry guns to save the world. That's the difference. The second story...

    Shooting highlights

    The part where Laura and Terry escaped from Dr. Reese’s laboratory and jumped off the cliff is the most complicated stunt scene in the film. It is composed of the falling scenes of Julie and Butler jumping off the cliff and stunt doubles to complete this set. For stunts, stuntmen have jumped from a helicopter 20 times and 8 times from the third tallest building in the world-Hong Kong's International Financial Center.
    In the film,...
