Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao, Yongsheng, Galaxy Image, Xinghui, etc., these familiar Hong Kong film companies used to be our beautiful memories, especially the sound of Jiahe’s thumping and kicking sound is particularly good. After the birth of Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest brought Golden Harvest back to life. After Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen took over and made brilliant achievements. After Xu Guanwen Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan became Golden Harvest's two ace players, they continued to expand for Golden Harvest.
Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are not only brothers, but also close partners. Together they have worked together on "Five Lucky Stars", "Five Stars", "Summer Lucky Stars", "Plan A", "Fast Food Truck", "Dragon's Heart" and "Flying Dragon". Movies such as "Majesty", time turned into the 90s, Jackie Chan entered Hollywood, Sammo Hung slowed down the road of directors, the two have collaborated on "Fire Island" and "A Good Man". The former is produced by Taiwan Province and the lineup is extremely strong. . The latter "A Good Man" is directed by Sammo Hung, which is similar to "Red Fan District" in a certain plot setting. Many people are stupid and confused between the two films. In
, Jackie Chan conquered Hollywood with a thrilling jump, and then prepared to further enter the international market, so there was "A Good Man". Golden Harvest invested 200 million Hong Kong dollars that year and filmed the entire process in Australia. Jackie Chan not only invited his big brother Sammo Hung to direct, but he also used Hong Kong-style English and used a large number of foreign actors, which is a big deal. The film was released in Hong Kong on January 31, 1997, and won 45.42 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking first in the annual box office list. Star Master's "97 Family Have Happy Events" and Jet Li's "Once Upon a Time in the Western Region" ranked first in Asia Third place.
In the past, Jackie Chan was either a policeman or a hero. This time he was just a better "good guy" or a chef. The story is simple and rude. A videotape caused a disturbance. This videotape contains crimes of gang trade. Records, in addition to the robbing of several forces, thrilling chases and gun battles occurred. In the film, Jackie Chan is an extraordinary chef, facing the chase of the gang and the drag of the police, he also needs to carry three female teammates with different styles.
reporter Diana has strong escape ability, barefoot and wearing a bikini can get rid of a few big guys; the black girl assistant likes Jackie, self-preservation is ok, but she is a little afraid of heights; the most troublesome is Jackie’s girlfriend Miki. Not only can’t help, but he also called Jackie at every turn. In the end, even the villain boss couldn’t get past. She slapped her angrily and asked you to call Jackie, Jackie. More surprisingly, Jackie’s girlfriend has a trick to steal peaches. .
Jackie’s girlfriend is played by Li Tingyi. The role setting is entirely a vase. Compared with Maggie Cheung in the "Police Story" series, it is still a lot worse. There is not much room for play, and even a big mistake. It is a little bit when driving a carriage. Thrilling, the other performances are mediocre, even not as good as the two foreign girls. Li Tingyi’s starting point is still very high. The first film work was co-operated with Jackie Chan. Maybe it was because she felt that she was worth a lot after cooperating with Jackie Chan. In addition, she believed that "Huan Zhuge Ge" is a newcomer and will not be a big hit. Back then, she refused to play the role of Little Swallow. Now it seems that this should be something she regrets. So, sometimes it really depends on whether she is red or not.
Of course, although Li Tingyi did not star in the little swallow of "The Princess", but the "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" with Zhang Weijian, He Meitian and Fan Shaohuang was also a smash hit that year. From the perspective of Yan Wing Chun, she played a small role. The swallow is quite suitable.
Speaking back to "A Good Man", the film naturally has the characteristics of Jackie Chan Kung Fu comedy, with the help of various props to fight and escape cleverly, and even went to a horse-drawn carriage run with Li Tingyi. This scene was later used by Chen Sicheng in "Chinatown Detective" It was used in "2", and "Chinatown Detective" also borrowed from the "Plan A Sequel", which shows that Chen Sicheng really loves Jackie Chan. The most eye-catching is naturally the scene where Jackie Chan drives a mine truck to crush the villain’s big house. The scene is very intense, it can be described as Jane.Shan rude, this scene can not help but reminiscent of the scene of Jackie Chan driving a hovercraft in the downtown area in "Red Fan District".
"A Good Man" is the last cooperation between Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan in the true sense. Sammo Hung's directorial level is not lost. If the starring role is not Jackie Chan, it may be greatly reduced. After all, the plot is too simple. skill. Of course, Sammo Hung became addicted to the drama. He appeared as a cyclist, but he did not expect to be a laughing point. Everyone would laugh at him when he was beaten. What's more rare is that Sammo Hung also took his wife, Gao Lihong, who had been in shadow for several years, to come as a guest appearance, which was really a big surprise.
Gao Lihong is not only the champion of Miss Hong Kong, but also a hit girl. It was precisely because of her relationship with Sammo Hung that she learned kung fu, Sammo Hung also made a lot of films to praise her, such as "The Oriental Condor" and "Ghost Staggering". "The Royal Lady" and so on, but in 1991, he retired from the film industry and returned to the family after the performance of "Uncle Cai's Sweeping a Thousand Army". The guest appearance in "A Good Man" can be regarded as supporting her husband!
Speaking of cameo, there is another big coffee, he is Zhou Huajian, who sells ice cream in "Red Fan District", and he has become a professional in "A Good Man", but it seems that he is not kind, so he turned his face and sold Jackie Chan. Got a punch.
The biggest attraction of "A Good Man" is naturally the action design. Apart from the merits of the family class, there is one more person who can’t be ignored. He is Cao Rong of Hong’s family class. His name may be unfamiliar. If he is called Journey to the West The "Facial Palsy" Monkey King of The Legend of "Facial Paralysis", I've always met this time, and won the Academy Award nomination for Best Action Design for "A Good Man", but lost to Dong Wei of "The Bleeding Shadow". The foreign actors in the movie
, I believe everyone is no stranger to the villain boss Richard Norton, who has a deep "cleanliness". He and Sammo Hung are also old opponents. They were both in "Summer Lucky Star" and "City Hunter". I have competed, from professional karate athletes to superstar bodyguards, and from bodyguards to actors and directors. The experience is still very rich.
On the whole, "A Good Man" is a successful popcorn commercial film. The most memorable one is the section where the mine truck smashes the house. Many people often say that it will be confused with the hovercraft of "Red Fan District". , Are you guys?
