A lousy film with every frame of film is full of laughter is just as elusive to the audience as an actress with a G-spot on every inch of her body is an AV company's headhunter - now As an audience, I was finally fortunate enough to witness such a miracle. The first cooperation between Jet Li and Jackie Chan is actually not too bad. Not only that, but Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei's performance didn't have any major loopholes. In fact, all the jokes were made by the director and screenwriter. This movie gives me reason to suspect that Hollywood is also a place where Chen Kaige gathered during the "No Grade" period. Every year, there are N films with more stars than "No Grade", more investment, and a higher brain damage index.
There are so-called "traditional Chinese martial arts/mythology" elements that are self-righteous and far-fetched everywhere in the film. The big villain Yujiang God of War has successfully subverted our long-standing mythology system as soon as he appeared. "The Yujiang God of War has sent a killer!" The Yankees believe that God is similar to the leader of the underworld. Afterwards, the audience will find out that this foolish god actually lives on the mountain instead of in the sky...
And the passage where Liu Yifei recalled his life with tears in his eyes proves that the God of War in Yujiang is clearly a king of the Turtle Mountain - "My father was a State official, he opposes the Jade Border God of War...", but the small-bellied Jade Border War God sent the heavenly soldiers to wash Liu Yifei's father's "village" - in the eyes of the Yankees, the state official can only live in the village, and the jade Xinjiang God of War also personally participated in this inexplicable massacre, and took the opportunity to shoot Liu Yifei's mother during the melee. In this way, Liu Yifei's deep hatred was created. In the end, I finally had to go face-to-face with the Yujiang God of War. Somehow, Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing scolded each other as "bitches" and "bitch" fought each other.
In the face of Liu Yifei, who is eager for revenge, Jet Li, who is wearing a bathrobe, has no sympathy to talk about "When is the time for retribution". Afterwards, there were Xiaoyangren who confided their inner fears to Jet Li, and Jet Li responded indifferently: "Don't forget to breathe" - the whole child is a heavy lover of "Friends".
The most thunderous, brain-dead, and mentally handicapped plot in the film is so unforgettable: a group of people are thirsty in the desert, Liu Yifei said Jackie Chan, aren't you a fairy? Can the gods not call the wind and call the rain? Then Jackie Chan lay down on the ground and started writing talismans, wetting the brush with saliva, making himself retching. The immortal writing talisman really worked - Jet Li stood at a high place and poured a bubble of divine urine on the dragon's head. According to the positions of several characters explained by the camera before, it can be inferred that Jet Li unbuttoned his crotch in front of Liu Yifei! If this scene had been rehearsed repeatedly during the filming before, you can imagine that Jet Li would do it again and again... Maybe Liu Yifei would be very cool to watch it.
The unprecedented feature of this film is that some of the characters on the scene speak Chinese, some speak English, and some can speak both Chinese and English (such as Jackie Chan). And Li Bingbing's English accent is super pure, it is estimated that there are nine out of ten dubbing. At the beginning, when Jet Li and Xiao Yangren were messing around in the hotel, everyone in the hotel spoke Chinese; later, the group entered a temple deep in the mountains, where even the abbot could speak English... At the end of the film, Jackie Chan drank it all With the elixir of life, Xiao Yangren hoped that the Jade Emperor would do a little more to save Liu Yifei, the Jade Emperor said in an authentic London accent: "I'm Sorry..." That's right, the Jade Emperor, you are too arrogant. Screenwriter, you are more TM Sao Rui, I said before that only the Jade Emperor has the elixir of life, but how did you grab it from the Jade God of War in the end?
The Jade Emperor sneered at Xiaoyangren, and Xiaoyangren flew back from the sky to the world - before he seemed to be riding up the mountain to fight, but when he went down the mountain, he came into a free fall like skydiving, and I personally think this scene is clearly an imitation The last part of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" where Zhang Ziyi jumps off the building. After returning to the world, Xiaoyangren had a cola. It turned out that Liu Yifei was not dead at all. She was wearing a sexy vest and happily winked at Xiaoyangren!
Forgot to mention, Xiao Yangren is the protagonist of this film, an idiot who has watched too many Hong Kong martial arts films. The story of Monkey King who was petrified by the god of war in Yujiang with magic (indeed, magic rather than immortal power), the whole story of "The Lord of the Rings". In fact, if you think about it carefully, the Yankees invited an actor like Jet Li, who has only played the role of a worldly martial arts master, to play the immortal. This itself already shows that the girls don't know the situation at all. The Yankees just confuse the secular martial arts competition with the contest between the gods, so when we see Xiaoyang people use the mixed-hair martial arts to challenge the white-haired witch wearing a wig (Li Bingbing's wig is worthy of being a wig) , it looks fake at first glance), when he saw Jet Li molesting the Yujiang God of War with a long casting time, he had no choice but to laugh bitterly, sneer, giggle and smirk. From Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan, Chinese martial arts culture has been in Hollywood for many years, but the work of the old diplomat turned out to be a farce such as the king of kung fu + fighting over Buddha + magician fight...
So, I decided to shoot a science fiction film to educate Let’s talk to the director of this film, correct some of his mistakes in common sense, and welcome the rich to invest. Now the script has a dialogue-Wu Chengen met Gu Long in the Manhattan subway, and the latter said with shame: "My subordinate Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, Li Xunhuan, and Jiang Xiaoyu are going together, and they will definitely not be able to beat your Sun Wukong, because you are not human at all!" Wu Chengen said with a look of contempt: "So you practice Mao martial arts! No matter how you act, Xia is just a little flesh man, how can he beat the fairy? The fairy relies on the character setting! Do you understand the setting!?"
