The deepest impression: Conversation in the grass under the stars

Although I came from the first one, I prefer the first one.

But the second part is also a rare good work for me.

The role played by Chow Yun-fat has been replaced by a younger brother who is both rough and fine, and who values ​​love and righteousness but still does not care about life and death.

Although he was a little uncomfortable with the scene of throwing food around when he was taking care of his fourth uncle, it was probably intentional to make the characters fuller and speak more powerfully.

The two most impressive episodes:

During the candid filming work, the conversation between Ken and the soon-to-be-father Applejack squatting in the grass is a rare quiet and relaxing clip in the whole film.

Ken was dismissive of Ajie's superstition about "Meteor Fierce" and looked ahead and looked back, but he seemed to understand his concerns when he finally heard that Ajie, who was dying, still cared about the name of his newborn daughter.

A killer who draws a gun like a cowboy duel, treats money like dung but pays attention to fairness: whether it is not putting a cold shot behind Applejack's back, insisting on drawing guns at the same time with him, or giving the gun to the unarmed KEN at the last minute, in the face to face. Died in a duel, this murderer who has been wearing sunglasses, silent but dangerous, can be regarded as a personality and terrible existence in the villain.

In the end, Ahao fired all the bullets and slashed the opponent with the Japanese samurai sword, which made this film a bit chivalrous.

When I first clicked on the review of this movie, the top one said: The dog's tail continues the mink.

I was still a little shocked when I saw it. To tell you the truth, I really like the series of heroes in the 1980s. It roughly tells that after the handover, Hong Kong was prosperous, and the underworld went to strangers. Whether it was the fourth uncle, Ah Hao, or the Mark brothers, they were all heroes of the last generation.

Take the words of the backbone of the film: as long as you have principles, don't be afraid.

    Slightly weaker than the previous one, including reluctantly putting Chow Yun-fat in again is a bit deliberate, but the last melee was too open, and John Woo's old foundation is here

    The development of Longsi's line is a little more, and the narrative of the two lines is slightly separated, with the little pony and Longsi on one side, and Hao Ge Ajie on the other. The actor of the fourth daughter of Long made me face blindly thinking that it was Ajie's wife, Khan, it really looks like it. And seeing Brother Long hurt Ajie, he really wanted to say that he didn't have to fight his life to investigate a case. Brother Long is more handsome than the first one, wearing a suit and tie is already more like a policeman haha. The part of using Japanese swords is the most handsome, so I found that I still prefer cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat, after all, this is the more technical content. And Brother Long's acting skills are really good, especially for Ajie's brotherly love, I can fully empathize with him
