Punch to the flesh

Tsui Hark has a set of theories about martial arts movies. He believes that there will be no end to the end. The key to getting out of the new world is to demand new changes. The new work "San Da" is self-certified. Tired of (the audience and himself) the martial arts wonders he used to make with high-tech in the past, this time he deliberately uses human flesh to create realistic scenes, as if returning to Zhang Che's work. The Thai movie "Stealing Buddha Line" seems to echo Tsui Hark, emphasizing that the selling point is "no stunts, no substitutes, starring in the Muay Thai champion for seven years of hard training". Sure enough, the real Muay Thai combat martial arts scenes on the screen are moving and fisting. Flying, the flesh and the silk collided, and the masculine power of the male flesh was surging from the head to the tail. Not only that, "Buddha Line" also draws on the common signature scenes of other types of movies: street chases, speed car chases, fierce battles in the wild, etc. The actual combat scenes are more colorful, and the movie's observability is therefore higher. As a commercial blockbuster, "Stealing Buddha Line" has a fast pace and sharp images, and its overall level is impressive. The large box office sales at home and abroad prove its success. Thai movies have been very popular in recent years, and they have become more popular than Hong Kong movies. Seeing this landmark "Buddha Line", as a loyal fan of Hong Kong martial arts movies, I can’t help but feel happy and worried. The passion of martial arts films, and when will the martial arts films in Hong Kong show signs of recovery? After all, a "San Da" is just a small fight and a small trouble can't make a big climate.
