The individual plots are very similar to the American prison movie in 1994. Leung Ka Fai and Sammo Hung are suddenly Andy and Lao Bo in that movie. The shape of the warden in the two movies is also very similar. trade. Even Xiao Zhu is similar to the old library manager in Xiao's film.
The prison movies I have seen are extremely limited, so I typed the names of the two films in the search box out of curiosity, but neither of them mentioned this, maybe it’s not worth mentioning?
Some interesting information was found during the search. It is said that actors such as Chengliang Liuhong were forced to act under the pressure of Taiwanese gang bosses, and Wang Yu, the prison boss in the film, is also the backbone of the Zhulian Gang. The Fire Island has its place. It was used to detain all kinds of big criminals during the martial law period in Taiwan. Most of them were suggested by gangsters after they got out of prison, so this movie was born. Maybe many of the plots are poured into their hearts!
From this point of view, this kind of plot is really a rare film in the history of film, created by a reckless hero, it is really cute. Some small flaws also have a rough taste.
If so, The Shawshank Redemption may have been inspired by this film, and borrowed some of its plots without fear of overstatement. But after twenty years, has no one really pointed this out? Or is there something in the history of movies, and I am ignorant?
