This "Tom Yum Goong" is more mature than "Boxer" in terms of film expression. When it comes to "performance", in "Tom Yum Goong", it is difficult to see the old-fashioned appearance in "Looking for the Buddha" many times. In Hong Kong-produced action movies, the old-fashioned method of repeatedly replaying the same action from multiple angles to enhance the effect, instead of using the active pursuit of the shooting angle and the change of the lens to increase the visual enjoyment.
What I like most in the film is the long shot (moving long shot rather than static long shot) of the spiral staircase fight. The four-minute camera shuttle from the door to the fourth floor in the Winter Yam Palace restaurant, advances and retreats, stays, and quick follow-up is very attentive and very comfortable. But this requires the mastery of the photographer, the scheduling of the director, and the cooperation of the actors. I really sweated for them, it would be terrible if NG reappeared (actually I repeated the shooting more than 20 times). Combining multiple martial arts designs together, but also with speed and intensity, Tony Jia's physical strength is commendable. Such a deliberate shot undoubtedly enhanced the performance of the martial arts power a lot.
PS, the actor of the big villain in the film is the famous Chinese transgender dancer Miss Jin Xing (who was a judge of "Dancing Forest"), very coquettish, I feel like Wu Qianlian.
