This is the epitome of an era

Huang Feihong did not understand the poor people, did not fundamentally think about the reasons why Chinese people were bullied, and did not solve the situation of Chinese people's low status. They only talked empty words and did not care about the vital interests of the Chinese, so they could not mobilize the masses, and they could only leave in anger. It cannot be said that the Chinese workers are ignorant, but that the feudal landlord class cannot fundamentally solve the problem and break away from the masses.

The first time I saw this movie, it was quite young. At that time, I only knew that martial arts were high and that I could win the bad guy movie and it was over. When I grow up, I realize that all things are not so simple. The seemingly simple details actually contain a lot of content. For example, in the end, when Huang said he didn't remember the Indian girl, I thought he was clearly telling Aunt Thirteen on purpose to please women. Appears to be honest, but in fact contains scheming.

    This film is the last of the Huang Feihong series, and it is also the last time that Jet Li starred in Huang Feihong again after "The Lion King". The film was directed by Sammo Hung, and Tsui Hark was replaced as the executive producer. The plot concept was suspected of imitating Jackie Chan's "Who Am I". The film deliberately used many foreign actors to star in the film. Among the Chinese, Wu Yaohan and veteran director Long Gangzhan played the role. More, the duel between Chinese kung fu and western gunmen has a lot of brains, but it lacks detailed description. As a whole, the series has always been lively and smooth, and Jet Li also maintained his beautiful fighting skills.

    The finale of the Huang Feihong series may be a memory after many years, maybe a disappointment with Zhao Wenzhuo's interpretation, maybe a reluctance to part with this theme, maybe... It will eventually come to an end, but it is still not very exciting, which also makes I am reminded of the "Young and Dangerous" series. Filming a series inevitably makes a difference, especially if the first one is already a hit. So sometimes you really shouldn't make a sign for the box office, it's a good policy to close it when you see it!
