Once upon a time, comic adaptation was an important source of creation for Hong Kong movies. The more classic "comic adaptation" Hong Kong movies include the simple and rough "The King of Power", the childhood memories of "Young and Dangerous" series, Jet Li 's "Black Man", Liu Weiqiang 's "The World of Wind and Clouds", Andy Lau 's "Sword Laughing", Donnie Yen's "Dragon and Tiger Gate", Brigitte Lin's "Black Panther World", etc. Of course, one important work cannot be forgotten, that is Jackie Chan 's "City Hunter".
"City Hunter" is reasonably adapted from Hojo Ji's comic "City Hunter - Hero Han Yuliang", which retains the character of the original character, but the plot has changed accordingly. It is directed by Wang Jing , and co-starred by Jackie Chan, Joey Wong, Qiu Shuzhen , Goto Kumiko, Leon Lai, Shan Liwen , Richard Norton and others. This is the pinnacle of Jackie Chan's action film and Wang Jing's comedy. It is probably never again and has become a masterpiece.
was released in Hong Kong on January 16, 1993, winning HK$30.75 million, ranking fourth in the annual box office list. The top three are "Tang Bohu's Tiger's Autumn Fragrance" , Leslie Cheung " Happy Flower Fields ", and Liu Qingyun " Can't New Love ". What was more surprising was that Jet Li's "Fang Shiyu" and "Huang Feihong 3" both lost to "City Hunter".
"City Hunter" is produced by Weihe Film, a satellite company under Jiahe , Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang as the producers, Cai Lan , Chengjiaban and Cheng Xiaodong as the action design, the music is led by Dai Lemin and Huang Zheng , and the theme song is sung by Jackie Chan. Wang Jing and Jackie Chan have worked together three times, among which Wang Jing only played a guest role in "Summer Lucky Star" and "Two Dragons Club". The real cooperation between the two is still "City Hunter". However, since then, the two have not cooperated again. It is said that because of the inconsistent creative concepts, this situation is more common in the film industry, such as " Drunken Boxing 2", Jackie Chan and Liu Jialiang , "Wang Feihong" Liu Jialiang and Tsui Hark , Jackie Chan and Huang Zhiqiang in "Serious Crime Squad", Stephen Chow and Sammo Hung , etc.
Because of the "unpleasant" cooperation of "City Hunter", Wang Jing filmed " Rat Galls and Dragon Hard " in 1995. Although it was claimed to be nothing to do with Jackie Chan, people with discerning eyes can also guess what's going on from the dress of the character. There is another saying that the executive director of "Rt Galls and Dragon Hard " is Huang Zhiqiang. After all, the two of them had an unhappy relationship, so it is understandable to "revenge".
Regardless of whether Wang Jing and Jackie Chan had any conflicts back then, the two did not cooperate anymore. Of course, this "unpleasant" did not affect them. Wang Jing later talked about the cooperation of "City Hunter" in "Young Wang Jing's Arcades" and praised Jackie Chan a lot, saying that he was a kind person. In Jackie Chan's autobiography "Jackie Chan: Older Before Growing Up", Wang Jing also left a message: Jackie Chan is not a god, but a human being, and a hero of the people. This "unhappy" is a topic of conversation after dinner for us, but it has long passed in the eyes of the parties involved.
Back to "City Hunter", the plot is relatively simple. A private detective nicknamed "City Hunter" Meng Bo (played by Jackie Chan) received a task one day to help newspaper king Imamura find his daughter Imamura Kiyoko (Kamiko Goto), who ran away from home. During the search process, he boarded a ship called "Fugui". He never thought that he was robbed by a group of bandits. After a fierce battle, not only successfully resolved the bandits, but also found Imamura Kiyoko. The plot is a bit like the way of "Die Hard" to rescue hostages in a closed scene, and of course it is a funny route.
Jackie Chan’s fight in the video is no longer as brave and invincible as the heroic characters before. This time, not only did he have painful small movements, but he also made some nonsensical lines from time to time. The most exciting and creative thing is the "Street Fighter" real-person fighting. Jackie Chan is definitely the most powerful Chunli coser in history. Not only can you fight, but your eyes can also discharge electricity, and no one can resist it.It is worth mentioning that Qiu Shuzhen has also co-censored Chun Li, and compared with Jackie Chan's, it is definitely the seller's version and the buyer's version.
Also in the cinema, the competition with tall blacks was also quite interesting. At first, Jackie Chan had no tricks, but after seeing the battle between Bruce Lee and Kareem in " Death Game ", he was inspired. He learned and successfully defeated two blacks. This is also Jackie Chan paid tribute to Bruce Lee in his own way, and finally said Brother Xiaolong, thank you. Once upon a time, Jackie Chan was still a stand-in in " Fighting Tigers " and was beaten up by Bruce Lee.
Besides being able to fight, Meng Bo is also attracted to girls. The three beauties around him have different styles. Joey Wong's Huixiang is careless and finds her "spare tire" cousin whenever she disagrees. Joey Wong also lets herself go in her performance, and she interacts well with the silly and cute Gary Daniels in the room. I also want to mention Tang Ning, the actor who played Huixiang in childhood, who has been beautiful since childhood, who has been beautiful since childhood.
Then there is Qiu Shuzhen who was undercover on the ship. She was used as a secret weapon by Jackie Chan. She shot in various turns and the cooperation was seamless, the action scenes were smooth and natural, and the rhythm was bright. The heroic and heroic look was a bit like the begonia in " God of Gambling 2". In addition, the "big-breasted girl" responsible for disguising Qiu Shuzhen's identity was Wen Cuiping. She wanted to seduce Lu Huiguang , but was beaten up by Lu Huiguang. In addition, she was also Dongxiang in "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance".
Imamura Kiyoko is the former "national idol" of Japan, Kumiko Goto, a well-known actor and singer, but she chose to retire from the film and marriage during her popularity. She has been retiring for 23 years in 2019 and chose to make a comeback and starred in the 50th episode of the longevity movie "Men's Suffering" series "Injiro is Back".
"City Hunter"'s villain McDonald (played by Richard Norton) is not a small person. He was originally a professional karate athlete. After retiring, he served as a superstar bodyguard. Later, he entered the film industry because of this opportunity. As early as the 1980s, he collaborated with Jackie Chan in "Summer Lucky Star" and Wang Jing's "Devil Jade". In "City Hunter", he has not many action scenes, but also many literary scenes. He portrays the insidious and cunning way, and gives more action scenes to Gary Daniels. In addition, Lu Huiguang, who is a family class, also played a little bandit, and in addition, he is also a substitute for Richard Norton and Gary Daniels.
of course, we have to mention the other two supporting roles who are stealing the show. One is the prodigal son Gundam, who is not only skilled in gambling, but also invincible in flirting with girls. Although Wang Jing's "Super School Overlord" was not invited to Dawn in the same year, Fatty Wang still invited him to play Gao Jin in " God of Gambling 3" in 1996. Perhaps it was because of the outstanding role of the prodigal son Gundam.
The other one is the "silly" cousin Shan Liwen. He and Joey Wong absolutely love each other and have worked together for many films. Shan Liwen is handsome and versatile, and is one of the best bassists in Hong Kong movies. In addition, there are Ge Minhui and Lin Haifeng's DJ brothers, Wang Minde at the beginning, and Peter Li from the clothes store, which can be said to be a gathering of stars.
"City Hunter" is not only the only collaboration between Wang Jing and Jackie Chan in the true sense, but also the only collaboration between Wang Zuxian and Qiu Shuzhen and Jackie Chan. Qiu Shuzhen can understand that she is the Crystal Girl after all. I don’t know how many times I have watched "City Hunter". Whenever I am unhappy, I take it out and take a look. All the unhappiness will disappear, and the beautiful memories of the past will appear again. If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try!
