In 2005, in "Slaying the Wolf 1", Wu Jing was still a "yellow-haired thug" with only a few lines. Now, in "Slaying the Wolf 2", he is an undercover gangster who fights wits and courage with the bad guys. . In kung fu movies, people are accustomed to Jackie Chan Kung Fu's laughter and scolding, Jet Li's handsome and unrestrained, and Donnie Yen's various moves. In this movie, Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, and Tony Jia each played a different kung fu world.
As a kung fu movie, "Kung Fu 2" is naturally the biggest attraction of this film, and some media even used "fierce bursting, cool and heart-wrenching" to evaluate this movie. If you evaluate this movie from the perspective of martial arts, it is completely qualified.
In this movie, the martial arts paragraphs are one after another, which really makes the audience dizzy. Especially in the section "Prison Riot", the effect of the long shot is shocking. Although it is a riot, it is riotous but not chaotic. Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, and Tony Jia fight each other. Hundreds of people fight each other... The action elements make the audience's blood boil. Wu Jing is Li Lianjie's younger brother, and he is also a national martial arts champion. He has every move and every move. For Zhang Jin, the martial arts gentleman is full of style, straight suits, undisturbed hairstyles, and every move has the style of a generation of masters, and Tony Jia, who was born in Muay Thai, feels that every move can give a fatal blow, it is really boxing. To the meat, vicious and vicious.
Compared with the first one, "Slaying the Wolf 2" incorporates more martial arts styles. In the first part, Donnie Yen, who is both the starring role and the action director, joins wrestling, boxing and other close combat styles, especially with a scissor leg that is invincible. In this movie, there is no unified martial arts style, and in terms of action design, it is suitable for each actor's style of play. This "one-spoon stew" method also allows the audience to feel the different styles of different styles of play.
Director Zheng Baorui once said that he is a loyal fan of "Slay the Wolf 1". Therefore, "Slaying the Wolf 2" has many shadows of the first part. In terms of plot setting, Tony Jia's father-daughter relationship with his daughter will also remind you of the relationship between Ren Dahua and his goddaughter in the first part. Even the use of props is similar - in this film, Tony Jia's daughter Sha gave Wu Jing a fruit candy on the hospital bed, and at the beginning of the first part, Ren Dahua's daughter also gave Sammo Hung a fruit candy. In terms of martial arts, the short sticks and short knives that appeared in the first part also appeared in the second part. Ten years ago, Wu Jing fought with Donnie Yen's short club with a short knife and finally lost. Ten years later, the short knife fell into Zhang Chi's hands. Compared to the first one, this paragraph is not enjoyable. At the end of the film, Wu Jing, Tony Jia, and Zhang Jin played for a full 30 minutes in a "two-on-one" way, especially the scene of falling from the building at the end, which is very similar to the first part, but the result is different - the first part In the film, Donnie Yen finally fell from the building and killed the wife and son of the gang boss, which has a deep fatalism, but this film has a bright ending. In the process of watching the movie, there are also many characters that seem to be similar to the past. For example, there is a fool who reported a crime in the first movie. Although there are few scenes, it is indeed the key task of the plot. In this film, there is also a fool who picked up a mobile phone. , which also determines the direction of the plot.
Some people say that as long as it is a movie with a wolf in the title, it can sell well. There were "Wolf Totem" and "Wolf Warrior" before, and now the third wolf is coming. This "Slaying the Wolf" is a highly watchable commercial film. It was screened at the 18th Shanghai Film Festival and was well received by industry insiders and fans. However, compared with "Slaying the Wolf 1", this film is There is still a big gap in the movie. Weak literary drama is a common problem of kung fu movies. Although the director has added a lot of literary drama to the film, the effect is not very good.
Kung Fu actors rely on "boil". Ten years ago, Donnie Yen has survived, and now, Wu Jing has also survived, but whether it can bring something different to kung fu movies, perhaps, there is still a long way to go.
