Much improvement over the first

Different from the first Five Lucky Stars series in 1983, "Five Lucky Stars", this film does not directly introduce the five lucky stars at the beginning, but uses Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao's failure to capture as an introduction. The five lucky stars were brought out for the reason of help. This treatment is obviously very clever. First, it is not too abrupt and deliberate like the upper part, but it is very natural and does not leave traces; second, it also brings out the super power of the five lucky stars from the side, which is obviously better than the first one. The opening introduction of the Ministry is more effective.
The following introduction to the Five Lucky Stars is also very characteristic. For example, the scene when Sammo Hung opened the car door and was surrounded by the royal police was very exaggerated and funny. Coupled with the soundtrack, it is difficult not to call it a classic. Zeng Zhiwei (saying he was so young and cute back then) was cute and cheap when he moved boxes around, and what 13 o'clock in Africa made this silly little fat man come alive. Especially Wu Yaohan, he was holding a duck and pretending to be crazy. A patient came over and said, "Oh, why do you go shopping with such a thin dog. Wu Yaohan teased him and said, the fool is a duck, not a dog. I didn't expect that buddy to say, I am It's none of your business to talk to the duck, haha, I laughed at that time, was this patient really stupid or pretending to be stupid, I was taken aback by what Wu Yaohan said. Qin Xianglin and Feng Cuifan's appearances are also a bit nonsensical, but they are not as mature and exaggerated as Zhou's nonsensical performances.
Speaking of nonsense, I can't help but say a few more words. In fact, there are many places in this film with this style of performance, whether it is in words or actions. For example, Cao Dahua swore to Wu Fuxing, I guarantee with my personality that I am the only one here, but when Wufuxing beat him, the scene of Hong Jinbao's siege reappeared in front of him, and the surrounding scene itself is very nonsensical , Cao Dahua's sentence "Fortunately, my personality has been sold to the Hong Kong government long ago" is even more irritating, and after laughing, we can also feel the film's good-natured satire towards the government and certain leaders. Also, after being kicked out of the room by Bawanghua, Feng Cuifan talked about raping Bawanghua, and was reprimanded by Wu Yaohan for being "righteous and strict", saying that he was of poor character, which made people surprised, but then the sentence "gang rape" revealed a pervert face. Also, Sammo Hung went back to the hotel to get the money. Just after calling Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan appeared, so why was he still on the phone? Sammo Hung went to the playground to test the lighter, and the voice of Jackie Chan came as soon as he lit the fire. Nima wouldn't be better than Aladdin's magic lamp. It turned out to be the cartoon doll. Including the black boss who asked the younger brother to throw the lighter on Mount Fuji, the young man curiously lit the fire as soon as he got it, and was beaten. Especially that Japanese girl, after being praised by Bawanghua as "amazing", she showed her muscles and put on airs, but was knocked out by Sammo Hung with a punch. It's just that in that era, there was no such thing as nonsensical. At that time, it was called Hong Kong-style humor. It can be said that Hong Kong-style humor made Stephen Chow's nonsensical style. Without the influence and training of the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers, there would be no There will be Stephen Chow's success today, a tribute to the great Hong Kong films and filmmakers!
After talking about the opening method, I will talk about the character introduction method. After talking about the character introduction method, I will naturally talk about the way the five lucky stars play hooligans. To say that these five lucky stars are all lustful, but they have no lust, so they say they are perverts. Raise them a little, they are a group of weasels with a heart and no guts, and they just do some little bad things, and they are addicted to their eyes.
In the first part, only Wu Yaohan played a hooligan with the courage to go out of his way. The naked buttocks are naturally impressive, while the others are mediocre; but this one is different, the farce of robbery is staged by several people, and everyone's performance is different. Not the same, each has its own characteristics, which is very interesting. It is also worth mentioning that the first teapot song, and this one "I passed by your door that day", it is obvious that the latter's funny effect is stronger than the former. These are the improvements of the second book over the first.
Finally, I would like to praise Jackie Chan's adventure in a haunted house. It has both the gloomy horror of a ghost movie and the tension and excitement of an action movie. It makes people nervous and dare not blink for fear of missing a wonderful scene. I can't help but miss the old Hong Kong films before, and I also sigh about the ghost films now. After watching a film, there is not a single clip here.
Oops, I almost forgot about Uncle Ninth. I saw a lot of the appearance of Uncle Ninth as a zombie priest. This time I saw Uncle Ninth play an ordinary villain. I'm really not used to it. The young, handsome and handsome image in the film can't help but make people feel I lament the untimely death of the ninth uncle, otherwise, how many excellent zombie films and ghost films would have come out, pay tribute... miss...
In short, the second film surpasses the first in many aspects, which is rare. You know, many series of movies are not as good as one. This movie, even if you look at it now, is still very good, and it will not feel outdated.
