I have always been a fan of Jackie Chan. I dare not say that I have seen one of his films, but I have seen almost all of them, especially his works after the 1990s. Before watching this film, I heard Jackie Chan claim that this is his last life-threatening film, but after so many years, the most impressive thing about his works is one word - spelling. From "Police Story" to "Human Torch" to "Red Zone" and then to a series of popular action films, Jackie Chan is famous for not using a stand-in, and all dangerous actions are performed in person, which makes "fighting" his all The biggest attraction of the film has also become the soul of all his works. As he said in the narration at the end of the film: "Doing these dangerous actions, taking dangerous shots, I don't know if this will be my last action and my last shot." However, it is also Such scenes and actions, such a spirit, and his own soul that permeates the film, infected all the members of the crew and the audience, and moved countless Chinese and foreign fans.

The film begins with Jiang Wen's narration, briefly introducing the background and cause of the story, and by the way, it leads to the protagonist of the story-JC and his team. Breaking out and trying this emerging extreme sport is his usual style, and after he and his team escaped safely, it became clear what they were doing. Seeing this can't help but remind me of the 3-member group who played the same profession in the movie, dreaming back to 1991, that magnificent trio: Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong, the same profession, the same thrilling journey, they joined hands with the master: Woo Yusen brought us "Across the Four Seas". More than 20 years have passed, and the years have taken away the young faces of Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong, and Leslie Cheung has even traveled west on a crane. But Jackie Chan, who was struggling with his life back then, is still fighting in front of the camera, dedicating thrilling scenes to the audience.

After so many years and so many works, it can be said that Jackie Chan has never used a storyline to win the audience, and this film is still the same. Therefore, the audience who likes him will be the kind of die-hard fans who have been loyal for 10 years, 20 years or more. This film still adheres to the inherent elements of Jackie Chan action films over the years - acrobatic complex and hilarious action routines, humorous. Lines, only thrills but no blood, no sex, and the most iconic in-person performance in all the stunt scenes. In the middle stage of treasure hunt and treasure hunt, this film brought countless witty and thrilling scenes to the audience, and dazzling action scenes like the signature are interspersed among them. Pushing to the climax, and the last thrilling scene of capturing treasures in the air perfectly interprets what is called - fight, when Jackie Chan guarded the dragon head from the crater and fell from a high altitude on the hillside and rolled, when the bruised and bruised body rolled all the way. When he staggers to his feet and then slams to the ground, the tension in the film isn't suffocating, but it's enough to clench your fists and grit your teeth. Fortunately, this time it did not bring us a tragic ending. The hero of the story did not really fall. The happy ending brought a lot of surprises to the audience. Let the theater be filled with exclamations. The subtitles of the story still appeared in the filming footage, but this time there was a narration from Jackie Chan, briefly describing the mental process of filming over the years and expressing gratitude to the fans for their love. Long time unwilling to leave the seat, Jackie Chan's last action movie ended like this? Hope not.

Finally, let's talk about some highlights of the film, not to mention the wonderful action scenes. In terms of cast, the only female member of their professional group has a very distinctive face, and the beautiful legs and skills shown at the beginning of the film and the long fighting scene at the last minute are definitely a highlight of this film. After an investigation, he was very obedient. It turned out that the name was Zhang Lanxin, the 2004 National Taekwondo Champion, who played for the national team for more than 10 years, and he was a professional. In addition, in addition to the animal heads of Yuanmingyuan, which the film mainly revolves around, there are many treasures from other countries that really opened my eyes. Finally, the cameo of Li Zongsheng and the appearance of Lin Fengjiao at the end made the film full of surprises.

Jackie Chan is still working so hard for decades, relying on this he has created hero images one after another. In recent years, Hollywood has brought countless comic heroes onto the screen and introduced them to the world. Jackie Chan is the screen on which we Chinese live. hero.
