There was a time when I deliberately didn't download Bruce Lee movies. In my impression, as a kung fu superstar, the plot of the movie must be very simple, and the main selling point of his movie is "hitting". I also have no interest in kung fu movies. I would rather watch movies with meaning than kung fu movies with bad plots. Besides, his films are from the 1970s. The ages are too far apart to keep up with the aesthetics of today's society.
Although I think so, but he is also a superstar in the world, and he has been brilliant, I can't always ignore him. Since he can be successful, his films must be excellent. With the attitude of giving it a try, I downloaded the BDrip version of his classic "Raptors Crossing the River". I got it last year, and I just took it out today.
After watching the film, my impression of him changed a lot. This movie is not a pure action movie with only fighting.
The plot is relatively simple, but not very retarded idiots. The first half hour of the episode is very funny. It turns out that Bruce Lee is not so rigid and has a sense of humor. While being funny, Bruce Lee also completely established the character of his character. Through his interaction with other people in the hotel, the shaping of other characters is also fuller, and each character is three-dimensional. And also set up the role of a traitor, which created a big accident at the end of the film.
The film is still a fixed pattern, good people against bad people. Bruce Lee's opponent is also gradually becoming stronger and escalating step by step. It also makes the fight in the film very interesting.
The focus of this film is naturally Bruce Lee's kung fu. Bruce Lee's kung fu is simply too cool. His figure is comparable to that of a fitness champion, and the muscles in his body, although very thin, are all lean... His fights with opponents are real, real fights. In the process of fighting, the sound of bones colliding can be heard, which is too real. A real fight that looks a little brutal. Watching Bruce Lee's fight, I finally understood the origin of the posture and the sound of "A-A-Yah" when other films learned from Bruce Lee's fight.
The final fight scene of this film, the arena of ancient Rome was chosen, which is very atmospheric and magnificent. The condensing of the atmosphere before the final fight has a sense of fate. As a director, Bruce Lee is also very good.
There are also shortcomings to this film. The actor's performance is too fake! The young guys in the restaurant, foreign thugs, Uncle Wang, and other minor characters, the performances seemed too blunt. What was the performance level of Hong Kong actors at that time?
An Italian porn star was also mentioned in the opening subtitles, and I thought there would be multiple performances. Who knows, she is here to make soy sauce. The appearance is only 5 minutes, is it just for the dew point?
There is also a question that I am very confused about, the story takes place in Italy, why are all foreigners in English? I should speak Italian.
