old martial arts movies

I really like martial arts movies, it looks very easy and doesn't need to use their brains. During this period of time, I went home, and I had nothing to do. I made up for old martial arts films of the last century, mainly the works of Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che, such as Hu's masterpiece "The Drunk Man" (1964), "Dragon Inn" "(1967), "Chivalrous Woman" (1969), "Swordsman" (1990); Zhang's representative works "One-Armed Swordsman" (1967), "Golden Swallow" (1968), "New Independent" Arm Knife (1971), Water Margin (1972), Sang Kou Zhi (1975), Shanghai Thirteen Taibao (1981). By the way, I also saw Liu Jialiang's "Goro Bagua Stick" (1983). Although it's all about fighting and killing, it's not bad to see what some veteran Hong Kong stars looked like when they were young. After decades of discovery, although the film has made great progress in audio-visual effects, techniques, technology, and capital investment, it has not surpassed the past in terms of actors' acting skills, script arrangement and overall aesthetic value. After watching "Chivalrous Girl", I realized that Tsui Hark and Ang Lee's martial arts movies were inherited from their teachers, but they still failed to break through Hu Jinquan's classic height in realm.

"Chivalrous Girl" is also the representative work of Xu Feng, the two-time Golden Horse Actress. After becoming famous in the entertainment industry, he married a good husband and founded Tomson Film Company. He showed his extraordinary judgment on movies and invested in the filming of business cards such as "Farewell My Concubine" and "Rolling Red Dust". piece".

Another veteran superstar I like to watch is David Jiang. He is the most popular martial arts movie star in Hong Kong after Bruce Lee and Wang Yu. He is half-brother with Qin Pei and Er Dongsheng. I haven't watched many of his movies, but I am very impressed with his "Yan Qing", which I think is the best "prodigal son" image. He is not a muscular man, and his appearance is not that kind of handsome (not as good as Dillon), However, with a unique temperament of arrogance and freedom, he has become a generation of cool idols.

Another "Queen of Martial Arts" in those years was Zheng Peipei. She is now in her 60s. After watching "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", most of them would not think of "Mrs. Hua" and "Blue-eyed Fox". "Once upon a time, she was a stunning heroine. Just as people say, "You can get old when you are young, and everything is always broken", no matter how old you are, you are still cute and full of personality.
