Just talk about action scenes!

The original Korean action drama is gradual. I personally think that in the Korean version, there are only two good-looking action scenes.



Korean version

1. Provocative mixed test

Wu Daxiu also practiced boxing in the confinement room. Wu Daxiu doesn't know whether 15 years of imagination training is useful. Deliberately looking for a gangster to try his fist, and lying on the ground feeling the texture and feelings of the world, it is very touching. A few simple movements after getting up are chic and happy. The start is neither light nor heavy, just for a test, and there is no killing intent. A leaned over and fist arrived in front of the fish tank. It can be seen that the genre is the light technique school.


2. The

long-shot action scene in the corridor group battle Young and Dangerous is invincible. When Tsui Hark finished watching, he was excited to ask how Park Chan-wook made such a masterpiece, and whether anyone was injured or asked fans. For example, how did Wu Daxiu get the knife on his back? In fact, Wu Daxiu doesn't have a knife on his back, it's CG special effects. In front of the long shot, Park Chan-wook also tried his skillful tricks. Although dazzling, the power is far worse than that of the long-lens version.

Then let's talk about the hammer that runs through the various posters. Wu Daxiu saw a group of younger brothers, threw down the knife and picked up the hammer. He felt that these people weren't real enemies, just knocked them down, and didn't need to kill them at all. Therefore, from hammering to empty-handed, it is a pragmatic boxing style, which can be knocked down, just ordinary fights. As a result, he was panting, the elevator door opened, and there was another group of boys. The elevator door opened again, and Wu Daxiu left with a smile. Faintly fainted on the street.



American version

1. Rugby player

Qiao sadly reminded him. Just as he climbed out of the box, he saw a woman holding a tribute version of the Korean old boy. This is not a suggestion, it is an explicit statement, okay! It must be chased, so chasing and chasing, to the rugby training ground! The player was very gentle and gave Joe a youthful side fist. However, Joe made a vicious move, knocking down the young boy with only his throat, then slapped his yin to hit the teammate who came to the rescue, and then stepped on another young boy's ankle. Here, what is shown is Joe's viciousness and strength. Yes, the American version of the old boy, Joe is no longer a craftsman. It's an insidious power player. In a fight, it is normal for a big man to be beaten up. It can be seen that the Americans really don't talk about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, and everything on the road to revenge must be ruthlessly frustrated.


2. The old house blasts the hip-hop crowd

I have always been looking forward to the remake of that dazzling long-lens hallway scene. Okay, I see it. The American version divides the promenade fight into two parts, which can be simply divided into a hammer part and a fist part. In the hammer chapter, the power type is really powerful. The enemy's hit is invalid, and the hammer of revenge directly knocks and explodes the hip-hop gangster. In the fist chapter, Joe not only showed his mighty fist, but also grabbed a knife and pierced the enemy's chest directly, with the bat directly headshot. I think his combat effectiveness is better than Wu Daxiu at this moment. After killing a piece of waste, suddenly someone rushed over and stabbed him on the back. At this time, Joe groaned and walked down the stairs, the cargo door opened (it is worthy of the United States! Everything is big!), and another group of hip-hop youths. The warehouse door opened again, and a sharp knife passed through his chest. The hip-hop youth fell, but Joe climbed out of the warehouse...


just watching the action scenes, the US version is also considered a success. It's just missing details, it's too fierce...
