It's only 83 minutes long. As a big movie I've seen since I was a child, even though I've watched it many times, it still amazes me. In such a short period of time, Zhou Xingchi and Li Lichi presented such an incomparably exciting story with a lot of laughter. A love story of two orphans, by the way, it represents the heroic story of justice defeating evil and defeating the big devil.

In 83 minutes, there are so many classic characters created. A sighing agent who sells pork but does not practice guns, a rough vegetable seller who works part-time at the Central Mental Hospital; a man with a golden gun who is invulnerable to guns and armor; a mother is a traitor , Dad is a lackey, grandpa is a poor girl who is a traitor.

There are also beautiful female agents who can breathe fire in the chest (personally, this film is the most beautiful screen image of Chen Baolian); the golden-toothed guy in the shadow of my childhood, eats glass and asks for tape. Even those robbers who don't obey and shut up, even if they have succeeded, are still robbers who want to kill; even the two brothers who cried so "sour" at the target scene, the classic iron legs floating on water; even the one at the beginning Debt-collecting prostitutes, with discerning eyes, recognize that the protagonist is a unique pork prince; even the photographer in the restaurant, really tm knows that he is an artist at a glance. It's all so impressive.

Famous scenes, countless famous lines. "Sighing fibrous roots" "Still call me my full name, Da Vinci" "Even a piece of toilet paper and a pair of underpants have their own use." "Is it possible that it can be bright even without light? " "These don't suit me. Would you like to call it a chicken? To" "This box is not an ordinary box, but a god inside the box, called the box god" and so on and so on.

Finally, let's talk about the romantic aspect, two acts.

In a white suit, playing the piano and singing "Li Xianglan" with a cigarette in his mouth, I think he is the most handsome of all his screen images. When I was a child, I always wondered, how could his cigarette not fall out? Also, looking up the tree along the piano, on the trunk, surrounded by branches and leaves, Anita Yuen holding a machine gun, made me understand what it means to have bright eyes and bright teeth.

The more classic one is to heal the wound and remove the warhead. The red and white floor, the red blood, the splashed white clothes, the cotton, and the white roses plucked from the hail of bullets. The paintings on the wall are also red and white. Men and women in white clothes, holding white roses, are leaning against each other under the blood-like sunset. Red and white, the people in the painting and the people on the ground complement each other, which is really romantic. What's even more outrageous is that in this case, there is still a hilarious plot of "Ling Lingqi concentrates on watching pornographic films, chipping bones and taking warheads". Let me, at a young age, learn a trick of "Old Man Pushing a Cart", no, it is "Diverting Your Eyes and Distracting Dafa".

Only 83 minutes, so many jokes and so many scenes in 83 minutes, what more can you ask for?

Five stars/9.5 points. Less than 0.5, because I don't know what a movie with a full score should look like.

The above are all personal opinions, if there is any objection, please bear with me.
