Youth past is like smoke

I must have seen it in a darkened video room sometime when I was young, but I just don't remember it. The plot, characters, and scenes are all familiar, like going back to the 1980s. Liang Chaowei, Ren Dahua, Jacky Cheung, and Li Zixiong are still young and handsome. At that time, shootout films were the most popular. There were often gunshots and blood splashes in the video room. It was very enjoyable to spend a weekend with three or five classmates. At first glance, this film knows that it is Wu Yusen's work, just like the world. The background of the story is Vietnam in the war, so without any scruples, the shootout film was directly made into a war film, aircraft tanks, jungle warfare, everything. The characters are too facialized, Ah Hui is impulsive, unsteady, shouting and screaming like crazy everywhere, and I have to shoot him. Ah Rong looks like he wants money but not his life. It's strange that such a person can still make friends who share life and death. The video is too long, and it makes me anxious to watch. I was very frustrated for the singer, believed these unreliable guys, and finally died in a foreign land. Yuan Jieying is beautiful and pure, which brings back memories of many teenagers, but it's a pity to hear that her situation is desolate, alas, the past of youth has disappeared like smoke, she sometimes thinks like this

    Hong Kong film 22 years ago. Brothers, women, gunfights, car chases, explosions... typical Wu Yusen movies. I feel that Wu Yusen is playing too HIGH. Going directly to the Vietnam War scene, the bullet-bomb extras went up as if they didn't need money. The film's portrayal of the Vietnam situation in the flames of war and the antagonism of the brothers is quite profound. All three male stars have good acting skills, Jacky Cheung is especially outstanding! great! But the protagonist's law of immortality and the plot of dog blood make the movie appear artificial, regrettable
