Kung fu movies used to be an important movie theme in China. When it comes to kung fu movies, you have to think of Bruce Lee, the originator of kung fu movies. But Bruce Lee's period of glory was very short, causing countless people to want to recreate glory. After a long window of time, Jackie Chan appeared in another way and defined a new genre with a unique comedy genre. Also achieved his own superstar road.
Speaking of Jackie Chan's comedy kung fu movies, the earliest memory should be the Drunken Master series. It can be said to be the originator of Jackie Chan movies. Since then, the style of Jackie Chan's movies has been established, and people can clearly recognize the uniqueness of Jackie Chan's guidance.
But what is little known is that there are actually many unexpected situations that happened during the filming of the Drunken Master series. As a representative of the previous generation of Kung Fu films, Liu Jialiang not only expressed a disagreement with Huang Feihong and other films, but also did not accept Jackie Chan’s alternative style. Although the professional attitude and meticulous style of the older generation of actors cannot be judged by stereotypes. But contradictions are always unavoidable, which also led to Liu Jialiang not finishing the filming of Drunken Master in the end, so he withdrew from the entire crew halfway through. But this has not affected the impression and status of the Drunken Master series of movies in our hearts.
Few people have noticed the "Drunk Fist 3" in the Drunken Fist series. There is no Jackie Chan, or it may be because "Drunk Fist 3" gives us not much impression, but I have to mention that In fact, the cast of this movie is very strong, including Andy Lau, Li Kaxin, Liu Jiahui, He Jiaju, Zheng Shaoqiu, Yam Dahua and other movie stars. But going back to its roots, in fact, this drunken fist is not directed by Jackie Chan, but a sequel created by Liu Jialiang after quitting the former crew of Drunken fist. But the more bleak thing is that this work is not very well-known. Maybe it is because there are too many sequels, maybe because it lacks such a strong comedy element. The unsuccessful film of
directly caused Mr. Liu Jialiang to slowly fade out of his lifelong acting career. After that, we rarely saw teacher Liu Jialiang appear in the film. Except for a guest appearance in the subsequent "Seven Swords", he has since retired from the movie stage.
Although Teacher Liu Jialiang could not keep up with the changes of the times, his persistence and promotion of traditional martial arts throughout his life and his contribution to the Chinese film and television market are still worthy of our memory and respect.
