Wang Chong's "Lun Heng · Talking about Rui Pian" says: "Jiahe was born in the field, and it is different from the field. It is called Jiahe."

This is how Jiahe was born in Hong Kong film history.

When it comes to Jiahe, I believe people born in the 70s and 80s will have a vague shadow in their memory. When I was young, every time my brother came back from the rental store (there were only video tapes at the time) and pushed the video tape into the big black thing that could automatically "swallow" it, I would be excited immediately when the word "Jiahe" came into view. Anomaly, even if it was not known until a long time later what it represented, it was already a symbol and a wonderful sign at the time.

The red letters on black background witnessed the golden age of action comedy movies in Hong Kong.

"Producer Zou Wenhuai, planning He Guanchang, choreographer/director/acting", a concise opening, no soft music, no deliberate foreshadowing, only a story with extraordinary imagination...

Hong Kong in the 1980s The film industry is complex, and Bruce Lee's departure, which was the most powerful one in the early 1970s, left a short gap in Kung Fu movies, which was completely absent for a while. But soon there were many heroes, and only Jackie Chan was unique. Together with Sammo Hung and others, they changed the image of Bruce Lee’s classic tough guys, followed the route of humor and kung fu, and instantly won a lot of color, and this film is even more because of Hong, Yuen Biao and others. Joining makes it an epoch-making film. The witty dialogue and the classic fighting scenes dispense with infinite depth and teachings. What they bring to the audience is just a laugh, and it also gives the movie its original meaning.

Some films are really unsurpassable, no matter how advanced technology is available, such as German films in the 1920s, American films after the war, French and Italian films in the 60s and 70s, and Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s. Movie. These time-tested movies can be regarded as true classics...

In this era of literary fast food and fast-food movies, such a movie that has made people applaud in any era, but it did not appear in the "Literary Youth Zhuang B Manual", almost everyone went to chew on Truffau and Ferry. Ni, I can’t help but feel distressed. Maybe, Project A might really fade out of our sight in this way, but I believe that in 50 years, if I can live that long, one day I will show this film to my grandson. , He, would like it too, that’s

pretty sure... 1983, the year and month of my birth, for Chinese filmmakers, it’s {scarface} and {Return} for American audiences of the Jedi}; for Japanese audiences, it’s {人证}; for French audiences, it’s {prénom carmen}, and for me, it’s {Plan A}.



ps: At the beginning of the film, the logo of Three Cannon Island on the plan a combat map is a super cute skeleton. I don't know if you found it.
