The film still uses the choreographer combination of Sha Polang: Yip Weixin + Donnie Yen. The two of them worked together to kill the wolf quite well, and it was very popular. It was like the return of HK kung fu film.
The plot does not need to be elaborated, it is nothing but an old plot such as killing the family and revenge. It is only a few martial arts scenes that attract attention, but I am very disappointed. The use of special skills in the martial arts scenes of this film has reached the point of abuse. All martial arts scenes are very exaggerated actions. It's better to kill the wolves with hard bridges and hard horses. Needless to say, Nicholas Tse and Shawn Yue, who were not from stardom, spent most of the time with the help of steel cables and put on a few cool poses. Complete a martial arts scene; but it is disappointing that Donnie Yen also uses steel cables to assist in completing many martial arts moves in this film, and his signature move "Three Feet in the Air" is also missing. In the end, the duel between the boss and Donnie Yen was only a short time. 3 or 4 minutes is really disappointing. Donnie Yen claimed that Dragon Tiger Gate will be an action giant that cannot be surpassed in 10 years. In my opinion, it is really inferior to Killing the Wolf.
Of course, it is not ruled out that other people like this kind of action design. For example, I have seen in some film reviews that the martial arts drama of Longhumen has been given full marks. There are a lot of them, so I would like to see more real kung fu movies without so many stunt assistants (no and impossible at all). It is reported that Zhen Ye and the two have already planned to shoot the filming of PoWolf 2, and look forward to ing.
As for literary drama, most people's opinions are very consistent, and I completely agree with it. But I couldn't help but want to use Sha Polang as an example. The literary drama, which is played by Ren Dahua, Liao Qizhi, Xia Shaosheng and other old dramas, is actually not inferior to the martial arts drama, but why is the same director, the things produced are so different? ? Taking the original comics as an example, it doesn't seem to make sense. The original has been popular for more than ten years, and there are quite a lot of stories that can be used to make movies. It is not just an old plot and mentally handicapped lines like it is now. The reason, I guess, may be because Donnie Yen occupies too much of the dominant position in Dragon Tiger Gate, and director Yip Weixin cannot play his due role, so the filming of literary dramas is weak (Donnie Yen is the director who kills people, and dancing is also popular. A film that people criticized for its plot). Here I start to worry about Killing the Wolf 2 again...
