The most shocking weapon in "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" is the strange weapon of the first master Yuhua Tianshi. The blade can be divided into three, and it can spin and hurt people. It can be called a "three-edged sword". As soon as this sword came out, even Zhao Huaian, the number one master of the square, had no choice but to rush into the tornado and use the wind to disrupt the offensive of Feijian. The body of the three-edged sword is decorated with hollow patterns, which can quite set off the style of the governor of Xichang.
The weapons in Zhao Huaian's hands have undergone major changes before and after the story. At the beginning of the film, he easily killed Wan Yu Lou, the number one master of the East Factory, with a long sword in his hand. Unexpectedly, in a battle with Yuhuatian on the boat, he was restrained by his sword power and had no choice but to escape. After entering the tunnels of Longmen Inn, perhaps few viewers noticed the scene of him appearing next to the furnace for building the iron rope, but I believe that this is the key point for him to turn defeat into victory. The iron rope used to activate the mechanism in the tunnel inspired him and allowed him to create a two-handed sword. The left hand still holds the sword for close combat, but the right hand has a flying sword controlled by a wire, which is used to resist the sudden splitting of the long sword of Yu Gong. With the innovation of weapons, he finally succeeded in drawing a trace of blood on the handsome face of the governor. The temper of the superintendent of other people's love, beauty, love, is explained at the beginning of the film, and the guy who ruined people's food is not angry? That's why the Tsundere master met someone who was not afraid of death, and the two sputum-obsessed fools finally jumped into the eyes of the tornado.
Speaking of it, the weapons of these two men are mentioned in the "Tsu Hark Weaponry". The three-edged sword is reminiscent of one of the thirteen-toothed generals in "Seven Swords" with one sword and three swords. The chain sword is reminiscent of the last chain sword duel of "Knife". In addition to the three-edged sword, Yuhuatian’s weapons also included the concealed attack by shattering the sword, which undoubtedly came from Cao Shaoqin’s ability in "New Dragon Inn". The only regret is that father-in-law Yu's “beating the top spot” at Dajue Temple, which shattered the last seat, disappeared. I imagined that if he could slap the floor and shake everyone to death, there would be no back. There are so many stories...
Ling Yanqiu's weapon is simple, but it is very interesting. She backhanded a sword, fiddled with the hilt of the sword with her thumb, and manipulated the body of the sword to rotate and attack, as you can see on the poster, Xu Hark called this a "changing sword." This style of swordsmanship wins with speed and angle. It is not like other swordsmanship that focuses on stabs and stabs. It is reminded of the predecessor of this heroine, who was originally a desert strange woman with a left hand lancet and a right hand willow dart. , It is no wonder that after she abandoned the sword and used the sword, she still took a smart and pungent path. Don't underestimate this nondescript swordsmanship, it was this fatal blow that finally sent the enchanting Yuhuatian to Huangquan Road.
After talking about these swords, the next thing I want to talk about is swords, because there are too many swords in this film, and they are different in shape, and each handle has its own characteristics. How else is the English title of "Flying Sword of Dragon Gate" called "Flying Sword of Dragon Gate"?
The stalls in the West Factory are all very skilled. Ma Jinliang (Fan Shaohuang) used a pair of daggers, which should look like Zhao Huaian before the equipment upgrade. The long sword of the second stall head Tan Luzi (Sheng Jian) looks ordinary, but with a string of silver spikes on the handle, which can hurt people when dancing. This should be the inspiration from the Chinese sword and sword spike. There was also a small boss in the villain camp, turning the scabbard on the hilt, and the short soldier suddenly turned into a long beryllium, waving a terrifying vibe. This weapon has also appeared in the old federal martial arts movies, the name is unknown. The most rigid weapon is only the most soft and breakable! His opponent, Lao Chai, finally showed a soft sword and died together with it, which was really unexpected. Because no one had thought that the treasurer of Chai, who looked like a vulgar village vulgar, could also be a gentleman's weapon like sword, and his taste was still so lingering. It seems that the only explanation can only be: Who made him play the role of martial arts director Sun Jiankui in this film? How can you not add points to your weapons?
Speaking of swords, I have to talk about the method of saber. This is actually a last resort. There is almost no right way of saber in Chinese movies. In the film, the swords worn by the several stalls in the West Factory are not the same. Some lighting generations are customarily hanging around their waists. However, the ones headed by Tan Luzi had to use a cloth belt because the sword was too long. Slung over the shoulder. This saber technique is more common in Southwest Yi people such as Dian Kingdom and Nanzhao, but rarely in the Central Plains.
Zhao Huaian and Ma Jinliang were not the only ones who drove the bow from left to right. The weapon of Fanbang Princess Buludu is a pair of silver rings, and the weapon of the villain Zhao Tong is two short spears, both of which are quite powerful. In the end, Buludu stepped on Ha Gang's shield to perform a sandboarding, which was a bit of an urban street kid's demeanor.
After talking about the sword, let's talk about hidden weapons. The hidden weapon in the film took a lot of ingenuity, and the most beautiful design is Gu Shaotang's dart. The mechanism of this concealed weapon is on the tail. It has an iron hook more than ordinary darts. The first dart is nailed somewhere, and the dart behind can change direction by rotating the hook of the iron hook to launch an attack from an unexpected position of the enemy. The special sound effects and functions of this weapon have been shown many times in the film, but I guess that most viewers will miss it at the first glance-no blame for them, the film is too detailed.
The guys at the inn also use darts, but they don’t have any tricks. What really dazzles people is the fireball used by Ha Gang. This thing looks like the incense ball used by every lady’s incense, but it burns like a thunder. related.
The film also retains the simplest long-range weapon: bow and arrow. This is a weapon that has been shown in Hu Jinquan’s "Longmen Inn" to "New Dragon Inn" in 1992, but obviously under the brilliance of the above-mentioned strange weapons, it is no longer the "Nine-toothed Spike Arrow" 20 years ago. "The scenery is over.
The weapons of those little people also have their own characteristics. The knives in the wind are very vicious, with nails hidden in the palms, knives hidden in the shoes, and steel cables hidden in the hands. They are all tricks that can't be used on the table. Sneak attacks on ordinary characters are acceptable. If you encounter a master like Zhao Huaian, you can only catch it if you obediently do it. . Fan Xiaoxuan's golden silk is sinister and vicious, quite magical. I wonder if Tsui Hark drew inspiration from the Japanese cartoon "Apple Nuclear War". Both of these are examples of well-designed styles—reasonable, brilliant, and consistent with the character's personality. The opposite is Gu Shaotang’s design of playing with a big knife. The main creative contrast is there, but Li Yuchunwu lacks strength and beauty at all, and it does not conform to the style of the characters of the rivers and lakes-when she entered the store, where did this knife hide? went?
As far as the weapon design is concerned, the weight of "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" is quite substantial. In China, except for Tsui Hark, it is estimated that no one will spend so much thought on cold weapons. It is simply the best representative of the Chinese character "control" of the year. However, the design flaws this time are still obvious, more than fancy, and insufficient "ideology", which is not very helpful in portraying the character's personality. If you think about "New Dragon Inn", you will know that Cao Shaoqin's horse sword refers to his ferocity, Zhou Huaian's sword in the umbrella refers to his introvertedness, Qiu Moyan's son and mother sword refers to his mercy, and Jia Ting's judge refers to his cruelty. The plot is integrated, and they are all excellent designs. Such a stunning concept is difficult to reproduce in today's martial arts films. The weapon in "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" is like a spicy incense pot, hot and delicious, but with a little aftertaste and aftertaste.
Today, when martial arts movies are on the verge of extinction, it is better to have a spicy flavor than to fade out a bird.
