If you ask who is the most brilliant star in the international action movie world? I am afraid that movie fans and friends have different opinions, and they will fight for the action stars they adore.
New-born action superstars, Johnson, Van Diesel, and Jason Statham have good box office in their respective films, and the first-generation action superstars Bruce Lee, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jackie Chan and Jet Li are both milestone figures in the international action movie scene. It’s not easy to say who is the best in the current action movie world. For fans who have seen the "Very Human Trafficker" series, Fox seems to have given the answer to "Who is the best";
Jason Statham as an international Old-school action star, presumably, most Chinese audiences knew this bald action star through "Universe Wanted" starring Jet Li. But he, like Stallone, is not from a "professional background". Unlike Jet Li, Wu Jingjing is a professional martial arts player who has entered a professional martial arts team and won medals in the arena.
Jason Statham is known for his "agile" action stars. The representative actors of this line are mainly concentrated in Asia. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen are all quick and agile, expressing their movements and moves. They are chic and sharp. Mainly".
Since there are "agile" type action stars, there are also "strength" types. The action actors in this part are mainly European and American stars. The main representatives Schwarzenegger, Johnson, and Van Diesel are the main powers, showing the sexy lines of muscles, "advocating fierce fighting".
Teacher Yuan Kui, who has always been low-key and introverted, used Chinese kung fu to influence Jason Statham's action style, which Jason has always been grateful for.
Jason Statham's stylization of his action movie started from "Very Human Trafficker", with agile play style, clever Kung Fu bridges, and a deep set of ways to become a family class and Hong family class. And behind these movements, there is a person-Yuan Kui. Yuan Kui, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung must all know that they are brothers, and they are the leaders of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. Teacher Yuan Kui's accomplishments in action directors can be said to be unparalleled in Chinese action movies.
Why did Yuan Kui sculpt Jason Statham's kung fu moves in the first place, and make more and more contributions to the development of later action movies? In this issue, let’s dig into this issue, let’s take a look.
Hong Kong-style Kung Fu style New film label
In 1998, Jason Statham played a black humorous movie called "Two Smoke Guns", playing a small gangster in the film. Therefore, the film has excellent performances and is well-known. In 2000, Jason Statham starred in Guy Ritchie's second comedy, "Stealing and Robbery", and his participation in "Universal Manhunt" opened a new chapter in his action film. Compared with the supporting role of the previous film, and the great help of the first-line director, the lineup and scale of "Very Human Trafficker" have dropped a few blocks from the previous film.
"Very Human Trafficker" starring Jason Statham, the first two films of his actor career, "Two Big Smoke Guns" and "Stealing" have achieved good box office results and began to attract Luc Besson's attention .
When we see the Kung Fu section of Jason Statham in "Very Human Trafficker 1", we can see the style of a long-lost Hong Kong-produced action movie. In the bus depot, Frank, played by Jason Statham, fought close in the car with a dozen men in black. They were quite fierce and showed off their muscles.
Frank eagerly ran to the bus repair workshop, greasy and scuffled with a dozen people. I personally think that the fighting design of this part of "Very Human Trafficker 1" and Jason's fight with a long stick in "Very Human Trafficker 2" have a common problem, which is not consistent and a bit procrastinating. There is still a gap between Jackie Chan's performance in the police story, the red show area, and the rush hour, which requires high flexibility for action actors.
The "Very Human Trafficker" series is a tens of millions of films, which can be regarded as a small cost in Hollywood. In those days, "Rocky" and "Terminator" opened the box office myth but only one million investment, which also made Stallone and Schwarzenegger become Hollywood's bright new stars overnight.
However, in the plot, in addition to popcorn-like action shots and super-pleasant car chase scenes, you can also see the emotional entanglement between Frank and Lai (played by Shu Qi), allowing us to see Lai’s feat of killing off relatives, the eternal pain point of muscle films— There is no story, no discoverability. "New Dragon Inn", "Rocky", "Stallone", and "Police Story" have strong stories, and the plot drives the development of the characters in the film. The rhythm is very strong, and it is not pieced together.
Only in the "Very Human Trafficker" series can the audience see Jason Statham's fast fight, drag racing and fierce marksmanship; and in "Fast and Furious", although Jason still maintains the Hong Kong-style action style, The clever "strengthening with strength" is hard to see.
The courier who is broken by the rules
There is no continuity between the "Very Human Traffickers" series. The old sheriff and Frank acted as a partner in the intense action film, bringing a touch of ease and wit. But every person to be given away is either rich or expensive, making Frank's customized rules seem useless. On the contrary, he was shocked by the strange request of the employer.
Jason Statham plays the driver Obama with a background in special forces. In addition to breaking his own rules in every movie, let alone the story of the whole movie. Like this popcorn movie, he pursues the senses. Excitement, all the way to the end. Moreover, the heroine in each movie is the main clue involved in the story, from the first, the snake-headed daughter who killed off relatives, the second is the wife of the governor who is on the verge of divorce, and the third is the daughter of the minister who is on vacation. This makes the male protagonist be dubbed "an angry as a beauty."
In "Very Human Trafficker 1", because Flake (Jason Statham) looks at the package, the agent wants to blow him up. In the end, he played the fight between Frank and the Snakehead Group to save the beloved girl. This section is very similar to the scenes of grabbing truck supplies in "Fast and Furious". The heroine's father, as a snakehead, chased Fleck's container truck madly. And Frank, like the "T800", chooses the best pursuit line, chooses the most reasonable offensive method, and uses a truck to knock down his opponents one by one.
"Very Human Trafficker 2" is even more to send the young master to school, and the killer girl's dark smoky makeup, backbone figure, fought with Flake in the clinic, holding a silenced mini submachine gun, and dripping through the water jet , Especially the aura of Alice in "Resident Evil", like a cheetah in the jungle, with light footsteps and continuous killing intent. At this time, Flake took the children to drill the wall, avoiding the killer's pursuit, calmly judging the environment, and taking the children step by step to retreat.
"Very Human Trafficker 3" was forced to deliver goods by the employer, followed by stalking, and carried a bomb rope. In order to save the girl, she watched the car and threw it into the river, and rescued the car underwater. As the saying goes, the hero is sad for the beauty pass, first of all, in order to clarify the situation, ask the girl questions, and break the rule of not asking the name. Since the employer wanted to kill the girl because he did not bring anyone other than the goods, Flake had to break the rules and keep the girl with him.
Frank is not a cute uncle in the traditional sense, but an artificial intelligence machine. Frank can use the most appropriate means to solve all the negative BOSS, and the surface is very small, like a needle through the paper, fast, accurate and stable, and full of penetration.
And in "Very Human Trafficker 2", when Frank got the antidote back and saved the governor's family. Seeing the governor's family happily, Frank, who came to visit, chose to leave quietly and put the bouquet aside, so that the lone ranger had some warmth.
zThe end of the 0z fancy express
In 2008, "Very Human Trafficker 3" was released. At the beginning of the movie, there was a leisurely scene of poisonous gas leaked by the freighter, Frank and the old sheriff fishing by the sea.
Frank once again became a "dead courier", broke the door and delivered "Audi car + beauty", stunned at home in 1 second.
The film not only maintains the fighting power of Frank's "special forces", but also further sublimates the sense of urgency in the film.
"Very Human Trafficker" series of film rhythm frame: first fascinating, Frank was forced to take the task, his own bad rules, anti-killing employers, popcorn ending.
This is a bit like the beat of pop music, and the chorus is the soul of pop music. Popcorn movies are the same, showing fighting scenes in different scenes, so that the audience's memory is still fresh, and the background of the movie is often ignored or weakened. In the last train chase scene of the
film, Frank drove to the train, and Frank was still desperately going forward. Facing his lover who was close to Chi Chi, he frowned and rushed towards the train.
After a battle between people and cars, Frank was as clear as he always loved and hated, and a few times turned out to be the villain. On the other hand, when he learned that his daughter was saved, the minister refused to sign the contract. The sheriff, Frank, and the admiring girl, leisurely fishing on the boat.
From "Very Human Trafficker 3" we can see that Frank is actually restrained and rigorous on the outside but like a flame on the inside. Faced with the departure of his lover, the country that was endangered by nature, and the persecution of the villain, Frank finally chose to fight.
Different Jason, the same kung fu
From the perspective of recent years, Jason Statham's series have ranged from the "Very Human Trafficker" to the "Machinist" series. Let the bald brother's action movies have always been slightly inferior to Johnson. Compared with the rapid popularity of predecessors in the action film industry, Jason Statham is more like a movie.
finally took over in the "Fast and Furious" series and special editions in recent years, partnering with "power" action stars Van Diesel and Dashi Johnson, successfully assembled the Bald Triangle. The main line is simply expanded from Van Diesel to the direction of Johnson and Jason, making "Fast and Furious" no longer a simple show of muscles, a sensory action film showing luxury cars. Raise the cost level of the film to the level of the "Mission Impossible" and "007" series. Makes Jason Statham's film road to a new height.
Like every series of Jason movies, they are playing different roles, indeed the same skill. Jason Statham found the highlight of an action movie star in the "Fast and Furious" series. He can get cheers and applause. The achievement of the film makes Jason excited.
With the growth of his personal career, Jason and Gary will once again collaborate on an action thriller "Money Carriage". The film tells a brain-burning story from multiple perspectives and multiple timelines. I hope that the film can capture the feeling of Xiao Li's "Inception of Dreams" and make everything complicated. The story sets the story and the film's narrative framework is very logical.
It is worth mentioning that Jason Statham will have two action movies to meet with you this year, namely "The Expendables 4" and "Long Live Madness". It is worth mentioning that in "The Expendables 4", Jason played a good dart. It can be said that he is as fast as the light and the wind is fierce. The other one is that Jason is the lead but he is the producer alone.
Jason is standing on the Hollywood stage. Jason is no longer a "street gangster" who played supporting roles in small-cost movies decades ago. It's really a real Hollywood first-line action star, playing against Stallone, wonderful; playing against Johnson, wonderful; playing against Van Diesel, wonderful. Prior to this, Jason Statham had never thought that he would have such a big achievement.
The era of Jason Statham
Looking back at Jason Statham’s performance in Hollywood action movies, it can be seen that Jason did at least become after the filming of “The Expendables” during the period of “Unusual Trafficker”. Became a Hollywood action star. However, with the stylization of personal action films, the production of films that are being filmed has become larger and larger, and Jason's pure technique style action advantages have also become greater, especially when facing Johnson and Van Diesel. Statham's differentiation is particularly prominent.
On the other hand, the diversification of action movies is also constantly developing. In the past, purely muscular action actors relied on muscle lines, tyrannical strength and brave action style to conquer the audience. To skillful Kung Fu actors, they rely on changeable movements, dexterous posture, and agility. Until now, action movie stars have become technological and even understood as Marvel. Only Jason Statham, despite the fact that action stars are constantly taking superhero movies, he insists on the ethics of old-school action movies, but because he does not participate in the superheroes of the Marvel series, he becomes a "Lone Ranger". Have to make the audience feel admired!
But there is no doubt that Jason Statham is currently on the rise. Jason Statham finally embarked on his own Avenue of Stars. This heart of pursuing old-school action effects never stops. For Jason Statham, this is far from enough.
