In 1984, Jackie Chan was very depressed. He received the script for "Dragon Detective" shortly after the filming of "Food Truck". This was the second time Jiahe sent him to the United States for filming. will have a huge impact. But Jackie Chan was depressed because he was just an actor on the set and could not set the script and actions by himself, so he was extremely dissatisfied with the director. In the setting of the script, Jackie Chan is described as a cold-faced hero, similar to Stallone in "Nighthawks", so the character looks very cold. What made Jackie Chan more depressed was that the movie involved some bloody scenes and inexplicable missed shots, which was also one of the reasons Jackie Chan emphasized in the future that his movies would always pursue non-violence and family fun. At the end of 1984, Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong, and the failure of "Dragon Detective" brought Jackie Chan the inspiration for "Police Story". At the beginning of 1985, he filmed "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" with his Japanese brothers (Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao), which made Jackie Chan feel very good. He temporarily forgot the unpleasantness in the front and devoted himself to the later filming, which is the subsequent "Police Story". I remember very clearly at the time, the day after my 5th birthday in 2000, I got the vcd of "Police Story Sequel", and the opening took two minutes to review the highlights of "Police Story". When the theme song "Hero Story" When it sounded, my heart started surging, and I danced with excitement with Jackie Chan's movements on the screen. This movie can be described as climax after another. At the beginning of the film, in order to hunt down the drug dealer Zhu Tao, the police officer Chen Jiaju, played by Jackie Chan, drove straight through the housing estate built on the mountain. The scene was very spectacular. Afterwards, Jia Kui had to run down the mountain with an inclination angle of 60 degrees and a distance of several hundred meters. This seemed easy, but in fact, he would be bounced off like a ball if he was inadvertently, but Jackie Chan did it. The next life-threatening scene where she was hung on the bus with an umbrella, the fight scene that she unfolded on the bus to protect Sarina, and the act of breaking into the villa in one go were amazing. The final scene unfolded in the mall pushed the audience's senses to the extreme, and the real action was dizzying. Jackie Chan found that glass can render the whole action atmosphere very well, so he increased the thickness of the glass to achieve a better effect. During filming, ambulances were always waiting outside the mall, and it was often the case that medical staff rushed the injured actor to the hospital immediately after filming. Of course, Jackie Chan is also a regular on the stretcher. In the last scene of jumping the lights, Jackie Chan not only had to struggle before shooting, but he had to suffer mentally and physically after shooting, stand up and run out of the camera. This is Jackie Chan's insistence, so he must be perfect. He requires that this shot must be shot to the end, and this jump is also destined to make him famous in film history. And "Police Story" not only pursues the design of the action, Deng Jingsheng, one of the screenwriters, portrays each character with flesh and blood, so that the plot of the movie can be developed smoothly, rather than fighting for the sake of fighting. The director who attaches great importance to principles, the uncle who hovers with the director and the police, the informant with a slippery face, and the cute and cute big mouth, the treacherous and cunning Zhu Tao are all the highlights of this film. This film also opened the precedent for Jackie Chan to "abuse" the female lead. In the front, Brigitte Lin jumped out of the swimming pool from a height and was thrown into a glass showcase in the shopping mall; in the back, Maggie Cheung fell from the motorcycle and was kicked down the stairs, which also showed the dedication and sacrifice of the entire team in the filming of Jackie Chan's movie. The portrayal of Jiaju also makes this character close to the people and lovely, with a sense of justice. For example, Ka Kui was demoted to the Sha Tin Police Station and accidentally stepped on cow dung, so he jumped in a spacewalk, and the scenes of answering the phone and eating instant noodles all show the vividness of the characters. In terms of the overall plot, you can't know the ending at a glance at the beginning, and many conflicts are set in it. For example, the police who collect black money, the reversal in the court, Jia Kui is designed to frame, and then Jia Kui hijacks the director. These conflicts make the plot fuller and the plot more suspenseful, and it is these perfect combinations that make "Police Story" cannot be surpassed. On July 14 this year, I was fortunate enough to meet my eldest brother at the press conference of "Jedi Escape", and a dream came true. The 62-year-old Jackie Chan is still active on the screen and hopes that he will never retire. As a fan, I am only emotionally relieved, but I am very conflicted and worried that he will get hurt again.
