The classic action movie & parkour carry forward

The work in 2004 is, for me, a classic of action movies. No, it is a classic among the classics. I have watched it over and over 20 times, and even the log published by Koukou Space is a highlight of this movie.
David Bailey, the founder of Parkour, is also the No. 1 actor in this film. In fact, the first time I saw parkour was when I was in college. At that time, I was very obsessed with hip-hop elements such as hip-hop and rap. I was shocked to see some parkour clips by chance. In fact, many people can participate in this sport, but the requirements for physical fitness are quite high, coordination, physical strength, jumping ability, of course, the most important thing is that you have to have courage. Parkour combines strength, speed, elegance, and coolness into one. It is very beautiful. It is really exciting to watch. Cyril Rafaeli is also a member of the parkour sports, but this film plays a policeman, there are many fighting scenes, and there are relatively few parkour scenes, but this guy seems to have also participated in several Hollywood movies. It's a pity it didn't come out.
The plot is utterly boring, the government builds a wall around the chaotic neighborhood, then the politicians want to clear the neighborhood with neutron bombs, and then the brothers run and take out the bad guys. In the 21st century, the plot is a bit too much... but the cost is very low, it is understandable that a story that is too complicated requires more scene props.
In a short period of more than 80 minutes, there are not many scenes. But the opening few minutes are definitely worth watching again and again. David Bailey is running through the buildings, watching with passion. Jumping stairs, sliding walls... The last shocking jump to kill Jackie Chan is played repeatedly. In the end, he also fought against the Mongolian strong man.
Continue to observe later.

    A very cool film, very Bruce Lee's film, it is more realistic than many Hong Kong films. The scene at the beginning of traveling through the city is really great~~The action is simple and beautiful
