The Hong Kong translation of "Unprecedented and Unparalleled Flying in the Sky" is "Funny Horror Goes to Space"; "Hidden Sky Flying Over the Sea" is called "Funny Horror Goes to the Moon". In fact, it was originally the originator of "nonsensical" in film history.
Earlier than these two, it was a funny version of "Poseidon" in the late 1970s. The specific name is yet to be found. But it was these three films that brought out a genre of "quietly planning pranks." So far, there have been a series of movies that senior movie fans must know, such as "The White-headed Detective", such as "Squeaky Laughter", such as "The Detective Airplane Head".
It was only in the 1990s that Stephen Chow came out in Hong Kong, and he spread this trend to the Chinese area, and he was named "Wu Li Tau".
The term "Wu Li Tau" is more regional, but using "spoof" can not summarize the true meaning of this type of movie.
This kind of "quietly planned pranks" is no longer the obvious action jokes of Chaplin's era, or the jokes that had to be created by drama conflicts in the 1950s and 1960s. Instead, use the paradox in life, or the context, environment, and plot that everyone is already familiar with, to subvert and let your original expectation fail, and then you discover the absurdity of everything.
Take Zhou Xingchi's movie as an example, his performance with Wu Mengda in "Play Back To School". In the film, Uncle Da said that he had quit smoking, so he could only enjoy the addiction to the small bamboo tube, but it was obviously a hollow bamboo tube. When he inhaled, Uncle Da could always swallow clouds and fog like a real cigarette. However, Zhou Xingxing no matter how imitated or even poured water. Can’t make it out, but Uncle Da just picked it up and swallowed the clouds and mists like a decent—like this kind of pattern that is impossible in reality, but they show it so seriously, it’s a kind of " "Wonderful", and this kind of serious drama has existed for a long time, but it is the originator of the "Funny Horror" series that has been designed and promoted with great care. The masterpiece is Charlie Sheen (who played "Wall Street", and recently re-popular with the soap opera "Two and a half Heroes") starring in the "Anti-Fighting Condor" series.
However, the "meditation planning spoof" has now given up making people feel absurd, and has become a pure spoof, as long as you can laugh. The peak has passed, what day will I return.
In his most famous "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi, apart from the love classic, the other one who is really responsible for the funny and unforgettable is his "Wu Li Tau" master Luo Jiaying version of Tang Seng. Tang Seng’s most famous fragments are naturally his babbling, babbling, babbling, babbling, babbling, babbling, babbling, babbling...Finally, the little devil can commit suicide immediately. However, this plot, "Funny Fright in Space" already has:
because of the plane crash, the male protagonist who is the air force has a shadow. In addition, he is unable to resolve his love, so he will naturally talk when there are people sitting next to him when taking the plane, and then he will continue to recall his beautiful love to others, pour his inner attachment and perseverance. complaining ramble, ramble ramble ramble ...... finally, three applications for transfer with the seat position, with two seats to escape is not a choice of Japanese hara-kiri, an Arab oil will be poured over the body lighters, ready to commit suicide When... the protagonist suddenly sighed: "Forget it, let's not say it!", the Arab was full of grace, finally relieved-heard the protagonist continue to say, "smoking a cigarette first...", naturally flattering and gratified , Pass the lighter actively. After the protagonist finished lighting, the lighter forgot to extinguish the fire, and was thrown on the Arab. On one side of the scene, the protagonist smokes leisurely, and the Arab on the other side... (cup)
Ten years later, a review of the ten-year martial arts of Hong Kong Radio Television In the Lunar New Year TV series, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, who was cooperating for the second time, performed this classic: the
love-lost martial arts leader Duan reciting poems when they see someone, and especially likes to hold Wu Mengda to recite. Three, three, four, four and one hundred... Wu Ren was unrecognizable, and finally had no escape for the last time. Seeing Duan Mougang just opened his mouth, he immediately drew his knife and stabbed him into his lower abdomen—unexpectedly this time. Someone said: "Uncle Master, I thought about it, I can't always do this, so I'm going to tell you today that I won't recite poems again..." Poor Wu Mengda looked at his stomach and intestines. Go outside, and watch Zhou Xingxing walk away leisurely... (Cup)
The pinnacle of American "Wu Li Tau" is the other two movies "Anti-Fighting Condor I/II", which is simply a classic among the classics. Since then, the blockbuster blockbuster "Bald Detective" and "Screaming Laughter" series have been unable to fail. Beyond.
