Surprisingly, Togo suddenly broke away from the background setting of modern society in "Fist Fighter 2", plunged into the ancient era of the air, and did not have the will to repent until 3.
Except for those who can play and act, most of the routines in action films still rely on the most traditional routines: killing mobs - leveling up - encountering a Boss - defeating - encountering a heroine - OOXX to replenish blood ——Restart——Continue to kill monsters and upgrade——Meet the big boss——Victory in the battle——End work and eat lunch. The difference between them may only be equipment or skills, but it is one word anyway: up! During the promotion, the "Quan Ba" series, which vigorously advocated "fist to the flesh", was almost unsurprising.
It is a pity that Togo has yet to meet a good screenwriter. On the one hand, there are basically very few screenwriters who can write action films well; on the other hand, if the director himself is a muscle pop-up action film Male protagonist... Do you still want to get paid as screenwriter?
Thanks to the rotten script, we were fortunate to see many scenes in "Fist Fighter 3" that were not the worst but only more pitiful:
1. The stick kill at the beginning should be a set that has already broken all limbs and organs. Unexpectedly, Brother Tuo knelt down and vomited blood for a while, and then stood up again, and he was even more powerful than before he was beaten. The Hong family iron line fist and brother Jie's Huo family three-section stick came out, so why not? Just escape from prison...
2. The villain Dan Chupeng wants to kill the king and replace him. How do you see this matter? It has nothing to do with Togo. If it wasn't for the heroine and the village, Togo might end up in the woods. Continue to practice martial arts (dance) to pave the way for the subsequent "Quan Ba 4 Jingwumen". (Speaking of which, the traditional routines of pros and cons from the same family, same love for a woman, villains killing the diligent king, usurping the throne and clearing the door, decent seclusion and cultivation, and getting revenge for great revenge are all more in line with action movies than this setting. audience needs)
3. In the second half of the film, the villain succeeds in usurping the throne and cuts the heroine's throat, hoping to destroy the hero's will. At that moment, Sajia's heart still hurt a bit, and the special effects directly made the effect of slitting the throat. Such a virtuous, virtuous and beautiful heroine, so she went to the streets. The male protagonist was rightly angry, ping ping pong pong and killing a bunch of soldiers, and finally the villain used a spear to solve it in a spartan manner. When I saw this, I was shocked: Oh, there are still twenty minutes left, how will it end? Progress bar, are you a husband? ...Unexpectedly, as soon as the camera turned, there was a flashback, and Togo opened his eyes and smiled: Brother Xian, don't be surprised, brother is just teasing you.
4. The final battle brought the essence of WOW into full play: Togo canceled the solar eclipse with a wave of his staff, and then changed the battlefield attributes, giving each villain a debuff, and the villain's dark arcane halo It disappeared like this, and was attached to weakness and deflection at the same time. Toge switched to Taiji talent, and Shi Shiran defeated the big boss.
It can be seen from the above how important it is to have a good screenwriter. Even a master like Togo, who has been wearing cloth armor and empty-handed solo copies since the beginning of "Fist Fighter 1", has not been spared the criticism and complaints from the masses. fate.
After talking about the screenwriter, now we can talk about the fighting scenes of "Quan Ba 3".
Togo has worked hard in seclusion for three years, which can be clearly seen from the scenes and mirrors of the film:
1. The multiple camera positions in the air and the ground in the Xiangbei Battle are switched, and the connection is relatively reasonable and smooth. There is rarely an embarrassing situation where a scene is split.
2. It is innovative to integrate dance into fighting drama, and it is more reasonable to deal with Muay Thai routines. But Muay Thai as the main style cannot be lost, so this important task is handed over to the villain Dan Chupeng, but unfortunately Dan failed to figure out how to express the attack speed of Muay Thai in the magic blockbuster of Wia flying all over the sky, The characteristics of rigid blows and force from the ground - so this is a "Quan Ba" that everyone basically doesn't see Muay Thai.
3. The crows flying all over the sky still have a certain rendering effect. If you compare it carefully, the scene design and tone of "Quan Ba 3" are the most attentive in the "Quan Ba" series. Different from the rough-eyed red and yellow of "Quan Ba 1" and the basic post-graduate color correction of "Quan Ba 2", each battle scene of "Quan Ba 3" has corresponding visual logos and main colors.
After talking about the good drama, let's talk about the bad points:
1. Too much dance is incorporated, and a few movements are too rigid. For example, the Zhengbu Hai kick who has been scolded by the princes to the street, and the crab fist that hits a small soldier on the left and right in the forest.
2. The sense of strike is insufficient. The main problem lies in the rhythm and sound effects of the strike. "Quan Ba 3" presents a sense of impact, but it does not have the speed and impact and fragmentation that Muay Thai should have.
3. In order to reflect the unparalleled destructive power of the male protagonist, it is useless to bind the light effect, and it must also reflect the huge destructive power to various objects: breaking armor, breaking limbs, splitting bodies, passing through walls, collapsing the ground... ...These are all things that should be there, especially for Togo who becomes a god, it's right to use more destruction effects.
4. The military finger that can arrange one person to kill a hundred or even a thousand people has not yet appeared. The soldiers are still rushing up and beating one by one, and the rest are waving weapons and humming. Human background.
Finally, if you want to talk about the height, "Fist Fighter 3" has indeed reached a certain height that is unattainable. When all the male protagonists of action films are still busy fighting monsters and upgrading and the female protagonist OOXX, Togo has already completed the soaring task first. , successfully entered the realm of the gods. With such a bold setting, it is estimated that no one among Chinese and foreign directors can compare to it. Does Nicolas Cage dare to upgrade himself to a Seraphim on the spot? Did Jet Li dare to upgrade himself to the third prince on the spot? If you do this, it is estimated that the audience will make too much trouble on the spot.
PS: Have you ever seen a single-handed fight against a well-trained 100-person killing formation? For example, Li Mubai singled out the Teutonic phalanx, which challenged the IQ of martial arts and special effects in the later stage. If there is any, please let me know, and the family is grateful.
