Because there is Bruce Lee's classic "Fist of the Warrior" in front, this film is a remake, but as far as movies are concerned, this remake's status in the history of action films is definitely not lower than Bruce Lee's "Fist of the Fist". Jingwumen"! What is especially commendable is that the screenwriter and director consciously or unintentionally avoided the essence of "Jingwumen" - class hatred and national hatred when writing the script and filming, and very seriously restored to the essence of martial arts.
Therefore, even after 23 years, this movie is still not outdated, and when you watch it again, it still gives people a refreshing feeling. On the contrary, Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" can't be watched anymore. This is a pure action movie. The charm of this movie is that you don't need to force yourself to attract attention with things like class hatred and national hatred. As long as there is still martial arts, then this movie will never go out of style.
In fact, in 2017, this movie could have been re-screened with the help of the incident where the Taijiquan master was beaten up as a gimmick, because all the controversies caused by that burlesque martial arts competition, in this "Fighting Heroes", Has the perfect answer!
When Chen Zhen wanted to reform traditional martial arts (Mizong Fist) with his own understanding, he took the lead in practicing it in a Japanese university class. It was concise, direct, fierce, and sharp, without the slightest pretense. There is only one purpose, to defeat the opponent, he won, and after returning to China, facing the karate masters in Hongkou Dojo, although Chen Zhen said that he was using traditional martial arts, he put on the air of traditional martial arts, but when he really shot, But it was not traditional martial arts, but Sanda, which completely gave up the sleight of hand. It was also concise, direct, fierce, and fierce. As a result, he won again. When he faced his fellow apprentices, he used boxing, which was also concise and direct. , fierce and fierce, but when he faced Fumio Funo, a martial arts master, the things he was proud of were not working. In fact, in the contest in front of Huo Yuanjia's tomb, if Fumio Funo was ten or twenty years younger, Chen Zhen really lost, and he finally won, in fact, because of the fear of the young and strong, that is, time. Just as Fumio Funotsu sighed at the end, although Huo Yuanjia died, he had a successor who could surpass him, but Fumio Funotsu had no such successor.
As Funakoshi Fumio said, what martial arts and kung fu are, not killing skills, but a whetstone that tempers one's body and will and spirit. If you want to kill, you should use a pistol. It is faster, more convenient and simpler. He Kungfu systematically tempers the human body and will and spirit to the limit or even beyond the limit. And when your body and will and spirit exceed the limit, even if you don't know those boxing techniques, you are still invincible. This is what Fumio Funakoshi mentioned, and is also the last big BOSS in the movie---Fujita, a Japanese officer played by the fighting champion Billy Zhou, a freak who has tempered his body like steel and iron, has infinite strength, and surpasses the limit. When he fought with Huo Tingen, Huo Yuanjia's son and the direct descendant of Mi Zong Fist, one punch knocked Huo Ting En to the ground with a dislocated shoulder. All Mi Zong Fist, boxing technique, and footwork were all ineffective.
How similar is this to the current predicament of traditional Chinese martial arts?
Why do people despise traditional Chinese martial arts now, and even make up various jokes with traditional martial arts? It is because of the current traditional martial arts, in the arena, facing all kinds of fighting masters who have been tempered by modern scientific methods and tempered their bodies to the limit, just like Huo Tingen, he is full of energy and punches in the past, No one hurts, but when the opponent punches him, he can't bear it, and he faints at that time. This is the drawback of traditional Chinese martial arts.
In the final contest of the movie, Chen Zhen did not abandon traditional martial arts, nor did he abandon his innovative ideas. In the end, all the means were used to kill Fujita Takeshi. The premise is that Chen Zhen's physical strength cannot reach Fujita Takeshi. That level, but he has also reached the level where he can withstand the strength of Fujita's punches. In this way, he has the chance to kill the opponent. If he can't take a punch like Huo Tingen, then he has no chance at all. Opportunity to kill the opponent.
Those arguing between traditional martial arts and modern fighting, watch this movie, it is necessary.
