The film in 1999, I watched it at that time;
The tenth time in 2021, five times in Cantonese, and five times in dubbing;
It has been more than 20 years, and the plot in the film is well-known, but I think this is the best Hong Kong film I have ever seen, no one;
Lau Ching Wan is my favorite Hong Kong actor. I liked it from the beginning of the era until now, surpassing Tony Leung, because his appearance is more ordinary, but his acting is more focused and more comfortable;
Everyone's comments are based on love, love on the bus, Andy Lau's handsomeness and even background music, these are too many, I will add a few small details:
One is that Liu Qingyun was supposed to be the captain of the Flying Tigers. He was transferred to a civilian position because of a certain mission. This can be seen in some old newspaper news when Andy Lau appeared on the stage to collect information about Liu Qingyun; When he came to the Flying Tigers, the members of the Flying Tigers saluted him and explained that he used to be a colleague and Liu was their chief;
Then Huang Qifa made a small report to Liu Qingyun, and was scolded by his boss. The specific content was not mentioned, but it was expressed in the form of a telephone answer. Huang said that I know that you are good friends, indicating that Liu Qingyun has a good relationship with the upper management;
The person who helped Liu Qingyun to investigate the background information was also a female police officer who admired Liu, and the little leader of Interpol. It was impossible for Liu Qingyun to know him as a civilian;
There are often some dialogues in this film that are actually common but many films will deliberately ignore; for example, the Flying Tiger team member pretends to be dizzy, not heroic but cherishes his life; for example, Liu Qingyun wants to take the elevator to the top floor, and the police guarding the elevator said that you will not be allowed to sit. I have no responsibility; Huang Qiqi also said when he was frightened by the first Andy Lau fake bomb: I have no responsibility if I don’t blow it up, but if I blow up, I will take the blame. It's human nature and unspoken rules in work and life. The movie deliberately highlights these dialogues, which is also quite interesting;
In terms of the plot, I think that at the end of the game, Andy Lau didn't follow the plan agreed in advance, and there were extra issues, but Liu Qingyun took the initiative to cooperate, the diamond was real, and he also showed the drama of being deceived. These two are really too tacit. Of course, it is still put together;
At the end of the bombing of the sports car, Liu Qingyun should have seen through Andy Lau's trick. He finally got out of the car and walked very calmly. He didn't lie down or remind the police to lie down. When transferred to the civil service, it is likely that Liu Qingyun of the Flying Tigers also chose favor rather than rules when handling the case;
In the end, the scene of Liu Qingyun eating popcorn is really amazing. I don't think he will regret why the diamond was not given to the police, but remembered this story, this opponent;
I love Liu Qingyun, but unfortunately I don't shoot much anymore as I get older
