At present, the action movie in the film industry is sunset, and this situation is mainly caused by the fault of the action film actors. In the early years of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, the two superstars stood up in the sky. Now one retires early, and the other is old and unable to move. Action movies have followed and declined. Up-and-coming star Zhang Jin has made a lot of action movies in recent years, but the box office has suffered a disastrous loss, and Wu Jing's movies have deviated from action movies. He now focuses on the "national sentiment" route.
The best-looking action film in the Chinese film industry is Jet Li. Almost every movie of the Emperor of Kung Fu is classic. He is the actor with the least bad movies. Jet Li's film career went smoothly all the way, from the mainland to Hong Kong, and from Hong Kong to Hollywood. But he also has regrets. One is that he missed several epoch-making blockbusters, and the other is that some of his excellent films were seriously underestimated.
Almost none of Jet Li’s films was bad before, but he made some low-quality films in order to repay the favor. Jet Li had many underrated works at his peak in the 1990s. Films such as "The Demon Lord" and "The Killer King" were all classics, but they suffered a fiasco at the box office. Later, these works of his were widely acclaimed in the Mainland, and they are still being talked about by movie fans. If these classic movies are released to the current box office at least 3 billion, right?
Jet Li is more restrained, his movies do not advocate violence, so everyone sees his action movies hardly too violent scenes. The reason why Jet Li is more popular than action actors such as Donnie Yen is that his work focuses on human nature and has a plot, instead of just knowing "beating." Jet Li is best at making costume films. His heroic image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But in fact, the fashion action films he made are also very classic. Unfortunately, these action films are far less successful than his costume films.
"King of Killers" should be Jet Li's most underrated action film. This film is one of his most practical works, but at the time the box office in Asia only received 33.82 million Hong Kong dollars. This film was his last film leaving Hong Kong, after which he went to Hollywood to develop. In fact, the quality of this movie is very high. Although his styling is a big flaw, the action scene is very exciting and enjoyable. If it is put at the current box office, it can receive at least 3 billion box office?
"King of Killers" is directed by Dong Wei, starring Jet Li, Zeng Zhiwei, Ren Dahua, Gigi Leung and others. It tells the story of the day when he invaded China, he was killed by "blazing angels" in Hong Kong. Killers all over the world found "Seraph" in order to get a reward of 100 million U.S. dollars. Later, Xiaofu and "Seraph" killed the Japanese mob who wanted to kill "Seraph" and became the second generation of "Seraph". story. Although the movie
is a bit "ugly" Jet Li, the character of this character is closer to him. Gigi Leung performed amazingly in the film, but her chemical reaction with Jet Li was similar. Zeng Zhiwei also made the limelight in the film, and Ren Dahua's performance is still sophisticated. Jet Li's other fashion action movies are chic and elegant, but the action style of this movie is clean and effective. It is a pity that Jet Li made too few realistic-style movies.
"King of the Killers" did not meet expectations at the box office that year. It was also related to the market environment. At that time, during the economic crisis, many film companies closed down. It was not easy for it to receive 33.82 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia. Later, the movie became very popular in the European and American markets, and the discs were often sold out of stock, and Xiang Huaqiang made a lot of money for this. It's a pity that such an excellent action movie did not receive good results at the time. If the movie world can now shoot such a bursting action movie, the box office will definitely blow up.
"King of Killers" is a sensation in Europe and the United States. Rotten Tomatoes are 80% fresh and the discs are selling very well. The Kung Fu Emperor's action movie is bought by audiences all over the world. Jet Li's most underrated action movie, do you remember this classic blockbuster? If you put it up to now, how many billions do you think you can get? Welcome to discuss!
