HIPHOP mixes Westerners' imperfect use of the mysterious East

Since seeing RZA as the director, I know that this film must have a lot of thunder, and Westerners always have some deviations in the interpretation of the East. So as expected, RZA brought a hip-hop martial arts film.
In all fairness, it is still very interesting that RZA, who has loved Hong Kong martial arts movies for a lifetime, has completed his wish to make this film. Moreover, RZA does not follow the routine of martial arts movies, and it has added many western-specific elements in a fair manner. Jack's guns and knives, foreign wine, western humor, various body modifications (囧) and so on. After all, this is an entertainment film. And the original soundtrack is very awesome, all kinds of hardcore rap~~ all kinds of action scenes are quite exciting, all kinds of big scenes are magnificent, it looks good, and it also adds the intuitive bloody that our implicit Chinese have not used much. All kinds of beauties are also a feast for the eyes. In the movie, RZA even cleverly rebelled against slavery. MC Jin’s performance made me meet an "acquaintance" by accident (if Jing grows taller, he should be the young master of the Lions Gang! Not a small follower!).
Of course there are a lot of complaints, and Lei is dead: 1. The Lions Gang are like beggars from a few years ago in the flying martial arts movie on the rotten street! Is that hairstyle going to die? ? 2. The institutions in the underground palace are too simple. . . 3. The official uniforms of those who besieged the brothel at the end came through. . 4. The names of those place-name gangs are too painful. . . 5. The sign of a small village in the Qing Dynasty actually has English I wipe! ! Scared me! !

In short, it is an entertainment movie to watch and play, a HIPHOP martial arts movie~

    Full of comic style.

    The music in Hualiuxiang is basically from the 1980s. Although it is a B-level movie with blood clots flying all over the eyes, I can feel that RZA really likes Shaw Brothers. Watching this kind of film, if you take it too seriously, you will fail.
