I personally think it is one of Jackie Chan’s best works, and I fully see Jackie Chan’s grasp of action drama and creation. This also created a new situation in Hong Kong film action comedy, and it is also one of the reasons why Jackie Chan won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement Award. . Jackie Chan's defeat in Hollywood can also be said to be a great harvest, at least that is Jackie Chan has a more comprehensive vision, whether it is a tribute to many classic movie scenes such as the "Safety First" Bell Tower scene, or the last The sections of "Take Tiger Mountain Outwitness" in Sanpao Island all show Jackie Chan's continuous enterprising spirit.
The story development of the whole plot is also loose but not loose. Around a main story of pirates, there are many branches, but there is no overwhelming attention. Finally, it always returns to the main story, and each branch has a role in the development of the main story. Help, of course, these branches carry more Jackie Chan action comedy selling points. In the film's tidbits, originally Yuen Biao was trained as an instructor, Jackie Chan and others. Two other scenes have been filmed, but in the end, for the completion and rhythm of the story, they chose to cut it out, which shows Long Ge's sincerity and attitude towards the film. It's still full.
The visual experience that the film brings to us is superb, compact plot, bright rhythm, plus Jackie Chan's actions, among which Jackie Chan also handles the private goods sold in it quite well, which is in line with the development of the plot and fits well. The character of the protagonist is not like the awkwardness of the movie. The most obvious one is Jackie Chan’s spurning of this behavior after hearing that the British police inspector intends to compromise with Luo Sanpao. It not only reflects Jackie Chan’s integrity and family and country feelings, but also exists as the second turning point of the story, avoiding preaching. The atmosphere of Jackie Chan has also shaped the image of Jackie Chan’s super policeman, Ma Rulong, which will always exist in Jackie Chan’s movies from now on.
Moreover, the characters of the film are also handled very well. Naturally, Audio-Technica's line-up is naturally different and quite lively. Among them, Diwei’s villain Luo Sanpao is naturally impressive. On the one hand, its powerful combat effectiveness is intimidating, and on the other hand, the arrogance and boldness of refusing to surrender in the end is not like other movies. The villains generally have well-developed limbs and simple minds. Under its construction, Sanpao Island has been thriving in an orderly manner and has become a confidant of the Hong Kong police.
In addition, the other supporting roles in the movie are flesh and blood. Among them, Jackie Chan’s Police Constable Big Mouth and Tai Bao are both funny in the film, but the two have distinct personalities and do not cause confusion. In addition, the profiteer Zhou Yonglin also looks good, and he was finally captured by Jackie Chan and acted to force a confession to be hilarious.
The most commendable one is Jackie Chan’s furious performance. The scene that fell from the clock tower is unprecedented. Only Jackie Chan himself has come after. This set of actions was later used as a classic by many other film and television works. imitate.
The whole movie deserves five stars from any angle.
