If Bruce Lee is a great hero who shakes the world, then Jackie Chan is a little hero who walks through the streets. When he was young, Jackie Chan was not handsome, but he was definitely righteous. The face with the big nose was always so just and awe-inspiring.
For me in the early 90s, Jackie Chan movies are childhood memories. When I was young, I was amused and laughed every time, because of the funny scenes, and even more because of the after-the-film. I rewatched Jackie Chan movies when I grew up. Many scenes that were once funny now hurt. Jackie Chan was getting old, and everyone ridiculed him as the incarnation of a United Nations ambassador when he filmed "Heavenly Hero". Yes, in the age when six young children also played the Jade Emperor, we all grew up to the person we once hated the most.
Only in my movie memory, whether it is Hong Kong Marine Police Ma Rulong or Hong Kong Police Chen Jiaju, they always represent some of the qualities of Hong Kong people during the Asian Four Little Dragons: hard work, kindness, bravery, honesty, humor, and of course some cleverness.
When Ma Rulong would rather resign but also find fugitives in the rich club, I was really touched. No matter how humble a person is, he always has to fight so much in his life. This is the most touching part of Jackie Chan's movies. I think Ma Rulong gave the perfect explanation for the meaning of the four words Haoran and righteousness.
The bike chase scene in the alley is imitated by many movies, but I prefer the scene where Jackie Chan climbs the flagpole with handcuffs: jumping from the top of the flagpole into the clock tower, getting bloodied by the handcuffs, and finally falling off the clock tower. To be honest, the status of the eldest brother was achieved with a punch and kick. He fell from a four-story building and was still in the mood to joke: "Now I finally know that gravitation exists." A Chinese person may not be the prince charming in your heart, but he must be a hero who stands up to the world.
In addition to Jackie Chan, "Plan A" has too many familiar faces, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Wu Ma, including Carina Lau, Maggie Cheung, and Guan Zhilin in the sequel, as well as Zhong Zhentao and Lu Fang who play soy sauce. They were so young at that time, and they were so desperate at that time. It was the best era for Hong Kong movies, and it was also an era when Hong Kong movies could never go back.
The old Jackie Chan could not continue to repeat the glory of his youth, but at any time, that desperate figure, that humorous little man, that big nose that would have to stand up even if he was beaten all over the floor for teeth. He is the toughest tough guy in China in more than 30 years. Yes, Hollywood has Rocky, but we have Big Brother.
