      Behind-the-scenes

      ??【Behind-the-scenes】   

      After several failed attempts, Jackie Chan won a beautiful turnaround with "Snake Shaped Hands" in the hands of Siyuan Company and Director Yuan Heping. This film not only set off a box office frenzy in Hong Kong, but also swept across Southeast Asia, creating a trend of kung fu comedy. In the film, Jackie Chan gives full play to his comedy talent, integrates comedy performance into martial arts, and begins to walk out of Bruce Lee's shadow and form a style of...

      "It can even be said that it has changed the fate of kung fu movies." (Zhai Shao)

      This article is excerpted from "There is not much time left for Jackie Chan, and the rest of the hope is on Wu Jing" The original house is always reasonable https://b23.tv/Rd3s0Bp 03

      When Wu Siyuan went to Cannes to sell Hong Kong films, he found that many films could not be sold. When I asked about it, people said that your kung fu films were too violent. Wu Siyuan thought, could it be easier to make a film? After seeing Jackie Chan, he felt that his appearance was not suitable for...

      Integration and innovation

      I have seen countless movies of Jackie Chan, reminiscent of the old movies, from which I can see his full energy, strong body, and flexible feet when he was young. Let’s talk about this step of the movie. The snake fist and the eagle claw are used as the background. From the ecological point of view, the eagle is the nemesis of the snake. Therefore, the presentation in the movie is the same. In order to dominate his family, Uncle Long was completely restrained when he played...

      Utilitarian victory

      This is not Jackie Chan's debut work, but it is Jackie Chan's famous work. There are a lot of related criticisms. I will talk about it from my own experience... If Jackie Chan has opened the precedent of humorous kung fu movies, then this should be helpless. First of all, he could not reproduce Bruce Lee's temperament and philosophy, and secondly, his image also restricted his heroism. He could only play a small person. At that time, he was not the big brother today... From the perspective of...

    • Lord Sheng Kuan: [Pai's cover has been blown and Sheng Kuan has him cornered] Pai Cheng-Tien, needn't run. You can't escape from me now!

      Grandmaster Pai Cheng-Tien: Sheng Kuan Yuen... don't you believe that your Eagle Claw can beat everyone, it's not quite that invincible.

      Lord Sheng Kuan: [chuckles wickedly] Our two techniques... for many years have been rivals. But today though, we'll see the end of yours.

      Grandmaster Pai Cheng-Tien: Hmmph! Well don't you be too sure! I'm not scared of you! I'm ready to fight you, right now!

      Lord Sheng Kuan: Good! But it's gonna be your last fight for sure!

      [gets into the Eagle Claw stance and prepares for combat]

    • Lord Sheng Kuan: [after Chien Fu surprises him with his new technique] That technique! That isn't Snake Fist style! What is that?

      Chien Fu: Hmmph! Cat's Claw!

      [Chien Fu proceeds to attack again]

    • [a preacher attacks Chien Fu with a sword]

      Chien Fu: Huh? The preacher?

      Russian: [laughs] I'm not any sort of priest. I come from Russia - I'm a fighter!

      Chien Fu: You're what? You're not a priest?

      Russian: Heh! The Eagle Claws have hired me - I'm to destroy the Snake Fist! And my master managed to trick you - into betraying your teacher. He'll have killed him by now!

      Chien Fu: You lousy swine.
