England Showdown

Jackie Chan's films have always attracted me with their funny, compact and exciting fights, but this "British Showdown" completely subverts the style of his previous films. The rhythm of the whole film is not very fast, but it has been following the clue of Guan Yuming's search for the truth and revenge. The constant escalation of conflict and the constant development of the story have kept this film fascinated by me.

In the film, he played Guan Yuming, an elderly father who lost his beloved daughter. The plot is not complicated. In order to find out the truth of the death of his beloved daughter, Guan Yuming did not hesitate to fight Hennessy with his meager strength until the truth was revealed.

There are many contrasts in the film to satirize, such as Guan Yuming's sadness and Hennessy's officialdom; Guan Yuming's persistent and single style of doing things and politicians' prevarication style; Guan Yuming's simple family, sincere emotions and complicated families of politicians, Intriguing emotions.

On October 1, 2017, when we finished watching the film "England Showdown", which is not funny for Big Brother Long, the news of the Las Vegas shooting came on the Internet, and we remembered the expression of Big Brother Jackie Chan holding the corpse of his beloved daughter, crying without tears. , sincerely hope we don’t take hurting others as a forgivable belief.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

  • Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.

    Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?

    Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?

    Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.

    Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.

    Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.

    Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]

    Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.
