The Chinese School in the Cold and Bloody Rain
——A Brief Comment on the Chinese Kung Fu Elements of the Movie "Tekken"

There is no doubt that "Tekken" is a European and American film that combines cold violence, bloody killing and revenge, and world celebrities have shown their faces in it. As one of the protagonists, the musician RZA performed very well, hitting the evil with iron fist and eradicating the disease. Therefore, this year's movie screen is R-rated, and "Tekken" can only be rated R-. Although it was not released in the mainland, the reputation in Europe and the United States will be good. Only when there are Chinese people can we focus!

Generally speaking, when investors focus their films in a certain region, what kind of actors will they invite. For example, Wu Yanzu, he can be considered to have "escaped" from the mainland circle and yearns for Hollywood paradise. I may have gone too far. In collusion with the Lion Gang, he played the villain who only wanted to loot the gold of the imperial court. The method of secretly releasing a murder weapon is also often recorded in ancient Chinese unofficial history books. Although Xiao Li Feidao is not a hidden weapon, it can be said to be a hidden weapon. Then, the death of the twins is not accidental, it is a love catastrophe. , the story unfolds. In the martial arts scene in the water prison of the agency, the bureaucracy was brutally crushed, and the officialdom ended in a scrawled way.

Liu Yuling's performance, in "Iron Fist", is the kind of introverted style that can be seen as the most poisonous woman's heart. RZA's intentional arrangement allows her to run through the film from the beginning to the end of the whole story, or in 1/3 of the film without knowing it. On the premise, I just think she's just a romantic, experienced old bitch. But later, the hidden relationship setting that the gang colluded and used gave a surprise: she was the leader of the Black Widow gang. After the bloody rain, fighting with the silver lion, in order to save a child, he unfortunately fell a spear.

Here, the elements of Chinese style are more prominent. The Taohualou, which she founded, as well as the prostitutes, are the true portrayals of the corrupt feudal society in the Qing Dynasty. The set design is relatively familiar in the film. In terms of martial arts, her peach blossoms Fan art also shows the agility of the figure. At the moment when the peach blossoms are all gone, the proprietress is still dead.

"Iron Fist" is very affirmative of the Shaolin School of Chinese Kung Fu, which may be the reason why RZA uses the Chinese Kung Fu School to arrange the whole film, and respects Chinese martial arts, and is not exclusive. In particular, the analysis of the principles of human acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine (Dantian Gongxue) is in place and scientific. So, let me talk about the foreword first. RZA was a slave on a farm since he was a child. When the old master signed a free contract for him, he could not get the unanimous approval of the white people. He accidentally killed the white people and fled to China. RZA was rescued by a Cantonese monk (the abbot in the film speaks Cantonese, I guess it is), he practiced a lot of kung fu, but the material was not used, and he ended up being a blacksmith. His status was not ordinary, and he was still a black slave. He did not betray Zeng Yi's humiliation, and was cut off by the golden bronze man. The appearance of RZA at the end of the film shows that the two-handed iron fist is very aggressive. The always invincible golden bronze man was beaten into a pile of waste meat.

Although this scene uses a more ruthless punch and foot shot, it can't hide the beauty of violence. RZA's revenge against the golden bronze man lies only in the death of his lover. Don't think that "Iron Fist" has no love, it's just that the film's performance is different. Perhaps the concealment method is more appropriate. RZA's boxing method integrates Shaolin Iron Fist. This is a boxing method in northern China. The boxing is powerful, rigid, and powerful.

On the contrary, the story in the play takes place in Guangdong, and "Iron Fist" can't find any boxing that compares to the "Wing Chun style". It is a relatively tough kung fu, and the screen is full of splashes of ketchup, which is not liked by many people. of.

After all, RZA is not a martial artist from a kung fu family, let alone a good director, and he may not be able to find a very good martial arts instructor. In the film, the only thing that is blunt is the actors' flying up and down movements. The traces of the wire dropping are too obvious, and the movements are too rigid. The viewers also think that it will not be very exciting. Maybe this is the expression of the actors' fighting to pursue a sense of reality. Sorry.
