"Plan A" breaks away from Jackie Chan's previous film format. Although the background is still in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the plot tells the legendary story of Hong Kong's marine police fighting pirates. The style of the film is witty, with a lot of funny bridges. The story is complete and has elements of the drama. , opened up a new plot mode of Jackie Chan movies. In terms of action, "Plan A" not only follows the witty acrobatics of "Drunken Fist", but also begins to learn from the martial arts action + funny style of the Western silent film era. The classic chase scene that you never tire of watching is obviously suspected of stealing a teacher.

    The classic iron triangle model of Hong Kong films has laid a solid foundation for a series of tacit cooperation after Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao and Sammo Hung. Established Jackie Chan's pioneering modern action comedy style, and paid tribute to the funny action styles of Chaplin and Buster Keaton in the Western silent film era, making full use of space, props, body language, etc. to design action scenes with ease and laughter. Full of points (bike street fighting is the most exciting). The biggest highlight of watching this type of old film is naturally the shooting footage at the end, Jackie Chan's famous professional deeds jumping the clock tower.

    I have no doubts about the director, martial arts, and acting ability of "Seven Little Fortunes", but I don't have much confidence in their screenwriting ability! But Jackie Chan has a good idea this time, and the details are sparkling! I also watched some deleted clips and couldn't help but admire Jackie Chan's "reluctantly cut love"! Now the director's version (usually lengthened) is very popular, and the director's version is often regarded as a standard and a guarantee of film quality! In fact, lengthening is not necessarily good, and doing it poorly can make the film bloated or procrastinated. Of course, from the current situation, the director's version is generally better than the theatrical version, but I am afraid that it is not "lengthening", but a complete idea.
