I have loved the world of martial arts since I was a child. When I grew up slowly, I realized that the original intention of martial arts novels was to escape from reality, to seek a world of one's own in ideals, without intrigue, no indifference to human feelings, pleasure in enmity, and the life of a hero who solved thousands of grievances with a smile. We yearn for it.
Similarly, martial arts novels, like Wang Jing's films, are not recognized by their peers. Although I used to have prejudice against him, what kind of films can a director who shoots third-level films make? After watching a lot of co-productions with Zhou Xingxing and this adaptation, only the first half of Yi Tian Tu Long Ji, I found that in the whole Hong Kong film industry in the 1990s, Wang Jing was a character that had to be mentioned.
A long time ago, I thought that Hong Kong movies are actually big or small, and other themes are really average, except for the underworld, but martial arts movies are among the best in the world. From Wong Kar-wai's "A Feifei" to "The Birth of a Prefix" in the Galaxy Imaging Era, Hong Kong filmmakers have always brought us surprises. The talented screenwriters and individual actors have raised Hong Kong films to a new level . It's just that the Hong Kong film industry has always been reluctant to admit this fact. In fact, it's nothing. What's wrong with filming a movie with a familiar theme? You have to learn from Hollywood and shoot some commercial garbage with no brains and only explosion scenes.
I don't know very well what Hong Kong audiences liked to watch in 1993. The previous hero's true character and Alang's story should be very popular. I don't know why I don't give face to Wang Jing, so that the second half of Wang Jing's version of Yitian Tulong can't be remembered. , I'm really sorry.
Sammo Hung's real Zhang style is my favorite in the movie. He doesn't look fat at all. He laughs all day long. He is very masterful. A potential movie actor, I remember him in the Young and Dangerous series and the Blasting Detective; although Jet Li has The Swordsman and Huang Feihong series in the back, in fact, we can already see Li's future movie appearance in this film; Zhang Min is almost a fixed protagonist in Wang Jing's films. It can be said that there were few films in the 1990s that she did not participate in. The county master's disguise as a man may have inspired Lao Xu's Brigitte Lin version of Dongfang Invincible; there are many more Many, the actors at that time seem to have some intimacy now, because many of them are characters who have grown up with us since childhood...
It is a pity that this masterpiece has no lower part, just like the future warrior series only has the first part Like, really let us miss something rare...
