I deliberately revisited "Plan A". I want to record something for this film that pioneered "Jackie Chan". Sometimes it's not necessary to say something like this, but I just feel like it's like a memory. If there are no records, it's easy to forget it in my own memory. corner.
The background of the filming is that after Jackie Chan's "Killer Trench" broke into Hollywood with a mediocre response, Jackie Chan felt that he still did his homework in Hong Kong's gardens and made movies of his own style. thing. So this film came into being. At the same time, this film was able to successfully join the other two brothers Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao who had established themselves in the Hong Kong film industry at that time. That is, the three brothers in Seven Little Fortunes sang a big show on the same stage.
The plot of the film is simple, it is the story of the water police fighting pirates, but the things that can be reflected in the film are still worthy of aftertaste. On the one hand, it shows the appearance of the police station in the period of the British Hong Kong government, and at the same time, it can see the situation of the environment in Hong Kong.
First of all, the classic pub fight scene in it is a very rare big scene. Taibao and Mars are the two people who lead the life of the land and water. With the rhythm of the music, combined with the witty action design, at the same time, they can show everyone's close-up shots under the logical conflict of the story. It can be said to be absolutely of the famous scene. The dialogue between Jackie Chan and the Superintendent in the police station also implicitly expressed the attitude of the British Hong Kong government towards the Hong Kong people and the British people. From this we can see the living conditions of Hong Kong people under British colonial rule.
Secondly, the storytelling aspect of the film is as smooth as flowing water, which is also a distinctive feature of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s. Otherwise, it is impossible to have such an efficient film production in such a short period of time. Because the time is tight and the task is heavy, there is no long-winded language expression, because the visual enjoyment of the audience must be taken care of, there is no redundant camera editing, and even the martial arts design is so fresh and refined. Every move on the stage, the bike-riding escape scene in the alley is a classic, and it's in a class of its own.
At the same time, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung's wonderful fights in the film add a lot to the film. The most memorable one is the "Fighting Jump" recorded in film history - Jackie Chan's fall from the clock tower. This shot brought Jackie Chan the indelible label of future Jackie Chan kung fu films. At the end of the film, there are some scenes similar to "Taking Tiger Mountain" on the Pirate Island. At the same time, the "Three British Fighting Lu Bu" style martial arts design made the audience have a visual feast. The film ends with the in situ explosion of the "Three Cannons", which is really dramatic.
