Jackie Chan has been an actor for more than 40 years and has participated in hundreds of films. He is almost the absolute actor in my adolescent films.
His movies are family-friendly and suitable for people of different ages. They can mix the three elements of action, adventure, and funny together to create a unique dragon-style comedy New Year's Eve movie. This time "Kung Fu Yoga" is no exception.
I like Jackie Chan, starting with "Double Dragon Club". Perhaps you also have the impression that he plays two roles alone, one side is the stubborn and desperate life, and the other is the gentle conductor Ma You, who performed the two characters in his own style. I saw Jackie Chan's talent and courage in this movie. A Kung Fu actor can find his own unique position in small jokes and jokes, which is extremely rare in Hong Kong movies where hard work is dominant.
Therefore, in my experience of watching movies, Jackie Chan belongs to the kind of Kung Fu legend of sword walking and slanting forward. And the combination of him and Tang Jili started from "Red Fan District" and became a guarantee of "good-looking, cool and funny". The movie more than ten years ago was the first time I saw two people working together. They introduced the concept of "New Year Film" through "Red Fan District", allowing them both to win the Hong Kong Film Awards and also let this concept. Enter the mainland movie market. The subsequent "Police Story 3" and "Police Story 4" have also maintained their consistent three good standards.
"Kung Fu Yoga" once again brought together these two people. This is a typical global adventure film that combines archaeology professors, treasure maps, tomb raiders, princess heirs, and evil and handsome villains. The protagonists have embarked on a thrilling and exciting adventure from the beginning.
To be honest, the story of this movie seems to me to be very smooth and complete. It is reasonable to start, inherit, and turn together, and there is no sense of bluntness when watching the movie. Nowadays, many directors can’t even tell the most basic stories. They are pictures for the sake of pictures, or for the sake of reasoning. Movies have always been a kind of lens art. It does not need too much narration. The audience can watch them from the movies. To many things you need. And this, "Kung Fu Yoga" has done it. Jackie Chan and Tang Jili told the audience an adventure film full of the three treasures of India "luxury cars, curry, Indian dance". Jackie Chan said that the scene that made him the most cool was "ran into a car worth 150 million yuan every day." However, I really like the scene where Jackie Chan and the lion of the same name ride in a car chasing the villain. The kid next to him leaned forward with a smile. And Xiao Xianrou Li Zhiting also performed well in the drag racing scene.
But some people still say that Jackie Chan is old, especially after he won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. Perhaps there is a layer of goodwill in this voice, and they hope Jackie Chan can rest. Indeed, in their sixties, many people will lay down their work and enjoy life, but Jackie Chan is not. He hopes to bring more energy and joy to people in his own way.
In terms of age, Jackie Chan is not suitable for such intense fighting scenes. Therefore, he would not personally fall up and down in the car chasing scene, making people laugh while panicking, this kind of scene he gave to Li Zhiting. However, in "Kung Fu Yoga", I still saw his agile kicks, his signature stomping on the enemy's toes, and the dragon-style kungfu performances where he played cool and suffered himself. He himself also revealed, "Now making movies constantly is to motivate myself. I have been urging myself not to find a stand-in, and try my best to complete it by myself. This is also a kind of training for my physical fitness and health. In fact, shooting action movies makes me younger. ."
It can be seen that Jackie Chan maintained a consistent professional attitude during the filming. How could he be a little slack? All the actions are not leaking, in order to scare away the wild wolf when pulling Li Zhiting out of the competition, the slight weakness of strength that he showed was also smoothly skipped by him with wit. After winning, he "blacked himself" and "his old man was thick enough" and filled with it. With a sense of humor, it is neither annoying nor pitiful. Because he deliberately showed his imperfections deliberately.
In Jackie Chan’s comedy, he has never been a big hero, but always appears as a small person. Even if he becomes a professor with massive archaeological knowledge this time, he still shows a low profile. He said that he is responsible for his actions. This is true both in and out of his movies.
In addition to kung fu comedy and adventures, exotic customs are also the highlight of "Kung Fu Yoga", Indian conjure, fighting dance; Dubai streets and local tyrants drag racing; Iceland's snow scenes and waterfalls all present a sense of global adventure.
