Because the previous disc version was so bad, I just watched "Fist Fighter 2: Tom Yum Goong" last night.
In terms of the story, the film is worse than "Looking for the Buddha". There are a lot of abrupt plots, but who cares? What can be seen in kung fu movies is kung fu! This is the luck of kung fu movies. (It's also unfortunate, let's not talk about it yet.)
The first half of "Tom Yum Goong" was scattered and scattered. The plots of divination, search, etc. flashed by. After a few consecutive unknowns, Tonny Jaa has arrived in Sydney. Fortunately, there are three good
scenes that follow : 1. The scene where Tony Jaa climbs up the spiral staircase is commendable. A long, long "long" lens followed Tony Jaa's back, adjusting the camera position from time to time during the fight. From the flat ground to the five-story building without stopping, all the way through the barriers, knocking down more than 30 people, and rushing to the top of the building, people have a kind of thrill of a game of violence. The whole fight is full of change, full of dynamics, and done in one go. It is more spatial than common kung fu movies, very three-dimensional, and has a taste of 3D games.
2. Fighting a master is more exciting than playing 100 scorpions. The three-game battle in the temple is a verification. The first opponent uses Capra to kick boxing, which is similar to Edy in "Tekken"; the second opponent is a Chinese single-handed man with a clear stance and moves; the third opponent is the Soviet Union in "Street Fighter" ! Three completely different genres of martial arts duel Muay Thai, naturally blooming. It's a pity that Tony Jaa didn't play the rhythm and wisdom of Bruce Lee in "Game of Death": Tony Jaa won or lost because of his own strength, and did not show the characteristics of Muay Thai. (I look forward to the duel between Jet Li and different martial arts in "Huo Yuanjia".)
3. Compared with "Hundred People Cut", I will call this scene "Hundred People Poke": Tony Jaa smashed dozens of people's bones: neck bones, hand bones, and leg bones. , Clavicle and even spine! Yes, it's all frustrated. Note that it is "push" rather than "unloading", it is a complete destruction, and it is impossible to cure it. It is very different from the "dislocation" technique shown by Jet Li in "Jing Wu Hero" (remember that Xiao Fei once introduced this It is a little-known technique in Muay Thai called "Smashing Elephant"). Those who prefer anti-joint technology can take a good look at this drama, and can "learn" a lot of "bad" tricks, ha ha. However, this group drama is an old-fashioned routine of "encircling collectives and being sent to death", unlike Jackie Chan's movies.
The final battle of the "Soviet Army" was not as beautiful as the previous three scenes, nor was it as beautiful as the ending scene of "Fighting Fighter", "Bloody". Fortunately, Tony Jaa flew out of the high-rise rooftops desperately and came to chase the helicopter. , It can be regarded as saving some points.
Overall, "Tom Yum Goong" is a very good action movie. Tony Jaa's actions are still strong and he has dedicated a very good play. But the film does not show the style of ancient Thai boxing as authentic as "Boxing Fighter". Perhaps, diversified action style display is good for Tony Jaa's personal development and can attract audiences other than "only interested in Muay Thai". However, if you plan to break away from Muay Thai style now, Tony Jaa is just an "extreme athlete". Are you going to be the top of Muay Thai, or will you become a second-rate action actor? Just watch his next movie.
PS:
1. The most out-of-the-scene scene in the movie is that a pair of young men and women suddenly appear on the street. The woman teaches the man "It is shameful to buy pirated DVDs, and you are not allowed to do this kind of thing in the future!" Haha~~~~ Poor I think it’s a piracy... I think that woman should add another sentence: "BT downloads are not possible!"
2. Tony Jaa's death in "Boxing Fighter" is understandable to the Burmese (Myanmar and Thailand are feuds, 16th century There was war, and Burma invaded Thailand in the 18th world. During World War II, Thailand formed an alliance with Japan, which facilitated Japan’s invasion of Burma). The biggest villain of "Tom Yum Goong" this time is a Chinese family, which is somewhat puzzling: Is it true that the influence of China's threat theory is so powerful that it has become the biggest open imaginary enemy of Asian countries?
3. Tony Jaa wears Converse All Star all over his feet, just like another big Converse ad after "Me, Robot".
