When Jet Li was 19 years old, he filmed Shaolin Temple, which was one of the peaks. At the age of 28, he started filming the Huang Feihong series of old monsters, which was the second peak.
Jackie Chan starred in the serpent-like trick at the age of 24, and appeared in the police story series at the age of 31.
Bruce Lee died at the age of 32, 5 works, not much to say.
The 33-year-old Tony Jia has only 3 works except the dragon tricks - Quanba, Tom Yum Kung, Quanba 2.
Not a good sign. Compared with the Hong Kong martial arts films under the Weiya assembly line, how long and how far can Tony Jia, who likes to challenge the limits of the human body like Bruce Lee, jump? This is a problem.
Thailand's slow-moving film industry is another "lethal weapon" that restricts his development. 3 movies in 5 years, not slow work and meticulous work, but water flowing down one by one. "Fist Fighter 2" almost makes people despair about it. Yes, this is the first bullet of his "acting and directing".
I don't understand what kind of kung fu and a large number of cold weapons are being added in "Fist Fighter 2" to pursue what effect? If it is to enrich the fighting elements, then it is enough to make the villains change. The price of letting the protagonist give up muay thai as the main form is too great.
Fans around the world who are familiar with Hong Kong martial arts and kung fu movies want to see Tony Jia's flying knees and iron elbows, rather than learning Japanese samurai chops, black wrestling, and Chinese braided five-element boxing.
It already has its own set of values, so why should it be backward compatible? Learning Jackie Chan to fight drunk boxing, it is a tribute to say good things, but there is still a lack of self-confidence in the bones.
It's just a matter of losing style in fighting. The script has also become sloppy and vulnerable. A large number of lengthy flashbacks make people collapse, and the hodgepodge of miscellaneous soldiers has lost the climax of the whole film. I'm still wondering, does that inexplicable ending herald a sequel? Or does it just end like this?
Either way, there must be a boss fight, right? Who is the boss? Ayutthaya king in a vest? The Oriental Mysterious Guest wearing a bamboo basket, or the inexplicable godfather? At this point, Boxing 2 has become an embarrassing movie.
No more spit. The flying Thai peasants in Boxing 1 and the 10-minute long shot in Tom Yum Kung, there is absolutely no trace of relics in this film.
