Hong Kong zombie movies were once all the rage. Since " Mr. Zombie ", this type of movie has become very popular, and many filmmakers have rushed to shoot it. Among them, the zombie movie starring Jiu Shu Lin Zhengying is the most authentic, and everyone can never tire of it. As long as Jiu Shu Lin Zhengying is around, there is an inexplicable sense of security, and there is no need to be afraid of any monsters. In fact, in addition to the zombie movie starring Uncle Lin Zhengying, there is another one that can rival it, and that is "Uncle Zombie" released in 1988, which is as classic as "Mr. Zombie".

The production team of "Uncle Zombie" is actually similar to that of "Mr. Zombie". It is jointly produced by Baohe and Jiahe. Sammo Hung serves as the producer and executive producer. The director is still Liu Weiqiang, and the starring roles are no longer Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao The iron triangle with Xu Guanying was replaced by Chen You Qian Jiale and Wu Ma Li Lizhen, as well as Yuanhua, Zhong Fa, Wang Yuhuan, He Jianwei and others joined. Although Lam Ching-ying is missing, it still earned HK$14.03 million, ranking 20th on the annual box office list. Today I’d like to talk to you about the behind-the-scenes story and highlights of “Uncle Zombie”.

1. The birth of the script

Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai are good friends. Everyone knows that when they were still screenwriters, they discussed what they would film if they became directors? At that time, Liu Zhenwei listed all the well-known directors in Hong Kong, including Liu Jialiang, Sammo Hung, Xu Guanwen, Huang Pak-ming, Tsui Hark, Hui Anhua and others. They are good at action films, comedies, and literary films. In the end, Liu Zhenwei focused on and Liu Guanwei . He was the only one making ghost movies, so Liu Zhenwei said that he was making ghost movies, and Liu Guanwei was the only one who was easy to fight. Facts have proved that Liu Zhenwei's choice was correct. "Menggui School" and " Menggui Academy " were a great success.

"Uncle Zombie" was also shot at that time to compete with Liu Zhenwei's two ghost films. "Uncle Zombie" is also known as " Mr. Zombie 4". In fact, it is not much innovative compared to the previous works, but its biggest feature is that it is funny. A lot of elements have been added, the horror elements have been downplayed, and the whole thing is basically funny. In addition, various elements such as ringing bells to chase away corpses, vixens, master-disciple battles, and pranks between sects have been added, which greatly increases the entertainment.

2, Taoist Master Four Eyes and Master Yixiu played pranks on each other

Taoist Master Four Eyes Chen You and Master Yixiu Wu Ma both made guest appearances in "Mr. Zombie". One is Jiu Shu's younger brother, and the other is the owner of a rice shop. Neighbors. Although the two are neighbors, they are sworn enemies. One is due to their different sects, and the other is due to their personalities. After all, the setting of Taoist Priest Four Eyes is a cunning and mean type. Whether it is fighting at the dinner table or each casting spells, The other party does things according to his instructions, which is extremely funny. Although the two fight fiercely internally, they are more united in front of external enemies and work together to deal with the royal zombies.

3, Qian Jiale and Li Lizhen fell in love with each other

"Uncle Zombie" is Qian Jiale's first starring film. He has been a stuntman and supporting actor before, such as " Oriental Condor ", " Flying Dragon Warrior " and "Dragon Fight" He is featured in "Bao", and he also helped Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan perform many difficult actions. In particular, the martial arts directors of this film are Hong Jiaban and Yuan Hua, and Qian Jiale also serves as the assistant martial arts director. In the film, Chen You and Wu Ma fight constantly, but their apprentices Qian Jiale and Li Lizhen have a lot of fun together. The two also fell in love because of the drama and had a two-year relationship.

Qian Jiale was really a goddess harvester back then. Needless to say, Li Lizhen, everyone who has seen Peach and Girls knows it. Later, she had a brief one-year relationship with Guan Xiumei. Guan Xiumei, a woman who is charming to the core, She is best at playing the roles of sisters-in-law.Then there was the love affair with Hong Kong sister Li Shanshan . This period was also the most profound. At that time, the outside world was relatively optimistic about it, but it was a pity that it failed in the end. We also know the final outcome. The three-eyed baby Qian Jiale married "Liu Pipa" Tang Yingying , and now they have two lovely daughters. The family is happy.

4, the alternative "sissy"

Yuan Hua is not only the martial arts director of this film, but also plays the role of the sissy Wu Shilang "in his true colors", holding up his orchid fingers, shaking a white handkerchief, saying "Oh, you scared me to death" Keep it to yourself, don't be too funny, okay? After being bitten by a zombie, he released himself even more and took advantage of Qian Jiale. In fact, Yuan Hua has played this type of role before, such as the general in "Oriental Condor", which is very contrasting. Another point worth mentioning is that Yuan Hua actually participated in "Mr. Zombie". The zombie in it is him. Do you recognize him?

5, Taoist priest Qianhe is the junior brother of Lin Zhengying in real life.

Taoist priest Simu is the junior brother of Lin Zhengying in "Mr. Zombie". Chang Zhongfa is Lin Zhengying's junior brother, and the two of them once studied under Fenjuhua. Although Taoist priest Qianhe was not good at academics and was defeated by the royal zombies, his spirit of killing himself in the end was touching. Personally, I think Zhong Fa has a kind of heroic spirit between his eyebrows, so he would be more suitable to play the role of a killer.

6, " Zombie Family " A family of three reunites

In "Zombie Family", the three zombie family members are Zhang Rongxiang, Wang Yuhuan and He Jianwei. Among them, the little zombie has become a responsible little prince here, but he still did not escape becoming a zombie. As for the female zombie, she turned into a vixen and was played by the four-eyed Taoist priest. Zhang Rongxiang continued to play zombies, became a royal, and his abilities improved a lot.

31's "Uncle Zombie" is still a classic and I still enjoy it. In recent years, Qian Xiaohao has been trying hard to carry the banner of zombie movies, but the results have been unsatisfactory. He has contributed a large number of shoddy zombie movies, such as "Mr. Four Eyes", " New Mr. Zombie 2", " Biochemical Drug Corpse " " Mr. Yin Yang: The Last Heavenly Master " etc. To be honest, instead of watching "bad movies", it's better to go back and watch old classics.
