Hong Kong films were once known as the Hollywood of the East. This splendor is inseparable from a group of Hong Kong filmmakers who dare to fight. Jackie Chan used to free fall in the clock tower of "Plan A", "Police Story" jumped the chandeliers in the mall, and "Brother Dragon" "Tiger Brother" jumped into a hot air balloon from a cliff, a thrilling jump in "Red Fan District", a 21-story building downhill in "Who Am I", and a dozen air conditioners in "Baby Project" all showed a desperate attitude.
At the same time, the "Almighty King" of the Seven Little Fortunes, Yuen Biao tried his best not to lose to Jackie Chan, "Law Enforcement Pioneer" picked up the plane and jumped off the plane; "Fortune Train" jumped off the building and so on. Of course, in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, female stars were also desperate. In that era when special effects were not developed, they more or less suffered a lot of injuries. For example, Michelle Yeoh went from more than 30 years to the filming of "A Jin". The meter-high wall fell off and fractured his ribs, and Liang Wei, who became famous with "Black, Cat", was burned in his arm during the filming of "The Shadow Enemy". When it comes to burns, Hu Huizhong and Li Saifeng are more serious in "Hunting the Devil and the Heroes."
"Hunting the Devil and Heroes" was subtitled at the end of the film. On May 19, 1989, at 7 pm, Hu Huizhong, Li Saifeng, and Lu Liangwei personally performed dangerous explosion shots. In order to be realistic and challenge the death with their lives, who had exploded too much gunpowder. Burning flames, Hu Huizhong and Li Saifeng were unfortunately seriously injured. The fearless courage to pursue real effects and the promotion of professional ethics for film art is the highest honor of actors. The film company pays the highest tribute to Hu Huizhong, Li Saifeng and Lu Liangwei. In the last explosion scene in the film, Hu Huizhong, Li Saifeng, and Lu Liangwei originally danced together. As a result, Lu Liangwei jumped early, and the pyrotechnician also detonated the explosive in advance. In the end, Hu Huizhong reacted slowly, with the most serious burns, and burned eyebrows and eyelashes. Then, Li Saifeng was injured second. Fortunately, the gods took care of the two goddesses. Fortunately, the skin on his face was fine. After the treatment, he was basically healed, but he left permanent scars on his arm. After recovering from the injury, Hu Huizhong and Li Saifeng did not back down, but chose to continue filming to pay tribute to the two dedicated girls.
Speaking back to "Hunting the Demon", also known as "Hunting the Demon", directed by Wang Zhenyang, may be unfamiliar with this name, so the stage name Lu Jungu should be familiar. He used to stay at the Shaw Film Company, except for one A well-known action actor, he has also directed the movies "The Patrol House", "Ceremonial Change", and "Blessing of Heavenly Officials". Then the screenwriter Chen Wengui is not young, and he once also stayed in Shaw. Back then, "Heroes from Ancient Times" came from him. He also wrote "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "Zhao Family Orphans". The cast of
is even stronger, with the three starring actors Hu Huizhong, Lu Liangwei, and Li Saifeng, as well as Wan Ziliang, Wu Zhenyu, Wang Wei, Chen Huimin, Wen Xueer, Liu Zhaoming, Dai Zhiwei, Lu Huiguang, Zheng Kangye and others joining, which can also be regarded as stars shine. "Hunting the Devil and Heroes" was released in Hong Kong on August 10, 1989, earning 5.05 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 68th in the annual box office list.
Michelle Yeoh's "The Royal Sister", Li Saifeng's "Angel Action" and Hu Huizhong's "Overlord Flower" were once all popular Hong Kong films. "Hunting the Demon and Heroes" is also a follower of this type of film. Hong Kong movie routines such as police and robber contest, brotherhood, and revenge.
At the beginning of the article, the police got a tip that they knew that the drug lords Han Shan (Wang Wei) and Qi Ren (Liu Zhaoming) were engaged in drug dealings. They thought they could wipe out the drug dealers, but they were caught by two mysterious figures Qi Yue (Lv Liangwei) and Qin Bing. (Played by Li Saifeng) Disrupt the plan and cause the action to fail.
It turned out that Qi Yue was Qi Ren's son, but Qin Bing sold it for a while before it was revealed that she was Han Shan's youngest daughter. The deal failed, and Han Shan's subordinate Zhao Cheng (Wu Zhenyu) took the opportunity to seize power and not only killed Qi Ren in his name, but also forced him to hand over a large number of hidden gems. The persecution methods are even more cruel, such as stripping clothes off the grassland, putting grasshoppers to bite them, and tying them in the water.
Because of Zhao Cheng's cruelty and despicableness, several forces decided to unite against him. Qi Yue and Qin Bing plus a policewoman (Hu Huizhong) fought against Zhao Cheng. In the end, Zhao Cheng was bombed and several actors were burned.
"Hunting the Heroes" can actually be called "Yue Buqun's Enduring Humiliation and Fighting Beautiful Kun", Wu Zhenyu is a villain with full of charm, Zhao Cheng here is almost the same as the big brother of "Heroes", both of which are anti-skeleton types. In the early days, he had a good grasp of this type of role, such as Jiang in "Peerless Twins"Yulang, Liang Kun from "Young and Dangerous", etc.
contrasts with the sentimental and righteous Chen Huimin. In the film, he is Wang Wei’s younger brother. He betrayed Wang Wei for the family. But after arranging his wife and children, he alone bravely rescued Wang Wei in dangerous places. Would it be better for Chen Huimin to play the boss role? After all, he was also betrayed by his younger brother Crow in "Young and Dangerous 3". The contrast between
is Wan Ziliang, who is usually the image of a big boss. In "Jian Hu Qing" even the limelight overshadows Fa Ge, he has become a responsible and caring superintendent here, which is a bit surprised. There is also a young Lu Liangwei who dares to fight, the most amazing thing is his appearance, which hasn't changed much for so many years.
The biggest selling point of "Hunting the Demon Heroes" is the thrilling action scenes and the two girls hitting Hu Huizhong and Li Saifeng. Compared with the action scenes, they rely more on explosions and gun battles to support them. The blasting scenes are particularly spectacular and can be called a visual spectacle. If the story is well polished, it is definitely a classic.
Now that many people remember this film, the main reason is that the starring was burned. This also shows the dedication of Hong Kong filmmakers and the dangerous shots personally. This is also an important reason for the glory of Hong Kong movies. What do you think?
