      Super Cop Jackie Chan

      In the 1980s, Jackie Chan became the spokesperson of the Royal Hong Kong Police, successfully shaping the screen image of a super policeman, changing Hong Kong citizens' bad image of the corrupt police in the past in one fell swoop. The series "Police Story" became so popular that its theme song "Hero Story" became a must-sing song for all police officers in Hong Kong police at that time. With the role of "Chen Jiaju", Jackie Chan has opened up international markets in Asia and Europe....

      The movie is still old

      I watched it on TV two days ago. Except for the slightly old picture, the story, action, and lineup are no worse than the current Hong Kong police and bandit movies. In this way, Jackie Chan started the police story series, and also marked the golden age of police and gangster films and the Jackie Chan era. The big brother has no substitute for his own life and staged various special effects. I am afraid that there is no one else, which is worthy of admiration. The two heroines, Zuo Lin and...

      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...

      watch old movies

      "The law is used to sanction those who have no money to hire a lawyer" satirizes the bureaucracy, the procedural justice and suspicion of crimes in the West are never flawed, and the audience always tends to use angry fists instead of rational assertions. Big Brother's films are not only kung fu and comedy, but there are still many things in them. A few jokes are also fun, and the goddesses at that time, Lin, Zhang Er, although not a star, suffered a lot in this film. Thinking about it now,...

      .

      The operation was code-named "Operation Pig Hunt". "The superior told us to see clearly before shooting, and we must be concerned about the safety of the villagers." "Then did they tell the thieves not to shoot indiscriminately?" This is not my fault alone, it all depends on the careful planning and deployment of the superior. If you want to be safe from disaster and live a long life, it is best not to be a police officer. A police officer protecting witnesses needs to know that prosecution...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Jackie Chan had to undergo emergency treatment after losing her breath while performing a stunt that smashed glass over a balcony.
    In order to create a realistic effect, the prop wine bottle used in the film is twice as thick as the general prop wine bottle, so many stuntmen were injured.
    Jackie Chan insisted on getting electrocuted by hand, so the lights on the Christmas tree were not powered by low-voltage car batteries, but were...

In the acrobatic and thrilling chase, he frequently shakes the burden of laughter, which makes the audience laugh, which also increases the character of Lin Fusheng. Charm, endows the character with a high degree of recognition. (movie online review)
