Chen Jiashang is one of the directors that I personally hate very much. Its status is almost on the same level as Liu Zhenwei, Zhu Yanping and others. I have always wondered what kind of courage he used to finish the "Four Famous Catchers" trilogy, the first incomprehensible, second, third, inexplicable, bizarre film. The reason why he chose "Fighting Heroes", which he directed in 1994, was entirely because the motion design of this film has reached the level of kung fu movie textbooks. From the opening scene of Chen Zhen and the members of the Black Dragon Club, it conveys a sharp and explosive realistic fighting style to the audience, completely abandoning the traditional action movie's way of making jokes and focusing on freehand brushwork. In the film, the fight between Jet Li and Qian Xiaohao in Chinese and Western styles is very tense, and the duel between Jet Li and Baozhao Kurata integrates the creator's thinking on the realm of kung fu. At the end of the film, the ultimate PK between the five-time kung fu all-around champion Jet Li and the world boxing champion Zhou Billy is even more enjoyable for the audience to watch. It is worth mentioning that this kind of realistic action design has been carried forward abroad in recent years. The "Ultimate Fighter" in the United States, "Kunba" in Thailand, and "The Raid" in Indonesia are all leaders in this field. In contrast, China's action Except for the occasional few excellent works, most of the movies still remain at the level of ignoring the laws of physical science. This kind of movie style that has no meaning for watching movies, except that Indian movies have always been imitating behind the Chinese buttocks, no producer in any country will accept such a movie. Very helpless, Chinese filmmakers are so reluctant to make progress. No, director Chen Jiashang has begun to spoil the "Shooting the Condor" trilogy again.
