In contrast, "Killer Championship" is very interesting. At first glance, no one can think that this is a British movie. Because the film is not only dressed in a Hollywood coat, even the vests inside are all Hollywood, and they are all old styles. However, the director slightly modified these clichés a few times, and without too much thought, the movie became a fine cliché, and it was still a success. Of course, there will still be people who are not ashamed, but no matter how special they are, it is enough.
The "Battle Royale"-style competition pattern was played by Schwarzenegger before he became famous, not to mention the handed down work of Shinji Shinji. But the director "deeply" wrapped it with social turmoil news photos, and then spread directly to the unobstructed public massacres on the streets and alleys, and finally sublimated to the social security and religious development. The director's obvious assumption is quite nonsensical, but is there any new way out for packaging such an action movie? The director chose a British style for the background-to be serious.
Shaw Brothers Kung Fu movies have stories about old birds and novices growing together with their lives. "Kung Fu Championship" is like the old Shaw Brothers martial arts film. The setting of a game allows countless masters to fight for money. The heroes and young heroes have to face life and death for their inner justice. Finally, salvation and growth must be completed through the baptism of blood. What's more, the young man in this film is still a daughter, which is very similar to the layout of Hu Jinquan's "Xia Nv". This movie is clichéd to the startling title and has an oriental martial arts story frame. Obviously the director has been influenced by many Hong Kong martial arts films.
The action scenes of this film are comparable to those of Wu Yusen and Schwarzenegger, with fierce gunfire, flying bullets, bullet scars, various weapons, and countless casualties. The real quasi-war scenes are the keynote. Very well, the gunfight movie is back. Many light weapons are cathartic and successfully stimulate the adrenal glands. Moreover, the film is not even less of a bloody fighting version of Chinese Kung Fu. Although common, scenes such as the combination of extreme parkour and car chasing, and the collision of buses and kcals are still genuinely crafted. At the same time, the director also made some use of the first-person shooting game screens, without showing off his skills.
The taste of British films prefers black, and even Mr. Holmes has been violent. This film also fully implements this kind of spirit. It is quite familiar with the common background of British noir films, and the key points must be relaxed. Perverted killers are indispensable. Even the black humor of the shop assistants adheres to the tradition, accompanied by bloody scenes of restricted levels. The film can fully prove that headshots are by no means a bullet hole problem, but a matter of brains. The flesh and blood of American sensory stimulation is transplanted into the context of film noir, and it is not so vulgar.
In the end, there will be a complete reversal. This is the director's tribute to the suspense thriller type film (there is no way to go again). Fortunately, although the plot of the movie is simple enough to be brain-dead, the grievances and fate among the characters, and the level of competition is still a bit chewy, at least not reduced to the kind of bad movie level that you don't need to watch the end. For the ending, the film at least created a reason to be tragic, rather than a muscular man applying ketchup and Kongwu to a bright light.
A famous dish in Northeast cuisine is called "Ranzhuo". As its name suggests, many ingredients are stewed together. You don't want to taste good and affordable, so the poor people's dish that is not popular has become famous overnight. "Killer Tournament" is such a simmer, there are no extravagant materials in it, they are all vulgar ways, but they can be tasted together. If it is the pursuit of quality and class, this film is definitely not good. If it is different in the popular, then it is the right way. This movie is like that ridiculous title, which makes people dauntless, but I don't want to have some better British qualities in it.
