Pippi Movie/ A wonderful movie recommendation every day
In April of this year, the Marvel movie "Avengers 4: Endgame" was released globally, and won the global box office of 2.796 billion US dollars in one fell swoop, replacing the "Avatar" that has been entrenched for many years. Global box office champion. On the other side of
, the DC film "Joker" has a reputation against the sky, and won the highest honor Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Beginning with "Superman" in 1978, superhero movies have prospered in Hollywood for more than 40 years, never going out of style, and have long been an indispensable part of the film genre.
Looking back at our mainland, it seems that no one has tried this type yet. Looking back, as early as the 90s, Hong Kong already had "Black Man", "Oriental Three Heroes", "Modern Heroes", and "Iron Armor" Super British movies like Leah and Black Rose series.
1993's "Three Heroes of the East" is a shadow of many children born in the 1980s. The galaxy movie Johnnie To and the anti-gravity force of Cheng Xiaodong, assembled the three goddesses of Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh, and Maggie Cheung to produce this masterpiece of Cult. . The story of the
movie takes place in the future Hong Kong, but the structure is very much like a Hong Kong female version of "Batman". The
movie takes place in an overhead Gothic city, similar to Gotham City where Batman sits, and similar to Batman's Gotham City. This city also has its patron saint-Flying Woman.
This is a stunted woman named Dongdong. She is the wife of police officer Liu Qiwen. She is usually a housewife. Every night she wears a mask and goes out to act chivalrously and help the police maintain social order.
Police Officer Liu Qiwen is very upset recently, because in the past two months, 18 babies have disappeared from major hospitals in Hong Kong, and the criminals have not left any clues at the scene.
None of the missing babies’ family members received any blackmail letters, and no political or terrorist organization admitted that they did it. But because all the missing baby boys were, the police concluded that it might be related to a cult. The
criminal was so arrogant that he secretly broke into the police station and left writing, claiming that his next target would be the chief's son. Director
was frightened and sent additional police to surround the hospital where his wife and children were located, trying to prevent the criminals from sneaking into the hospital. The move was still in vain, and a mysterious person still sneaked into the hospital that night and stole two babies.
When the police were in a frenzy, the Fei Xia appeared in time and rescued one of the baby girls, but the chief's son was still taken away by the mysterious man.
Originally, this mysterious person was named Xinjing. He was invisible because he was wearing an invisible cloak. This invisible cloak was invented by a doctor named Li Zhi, but it still has flaws, that is, he cannot be invisible in ultraviolet light. Use at night.
In the sewers of Hong Kong, there is a mysterious organization lurking. The Qing dynasty official Chen Gonggong established a magic palace here, and Xin Jing is his general.
Chen Gonggong sent Xin Jing to monitor Dr. Li Zhi, waiting for him to invent the invisibility cloak and then appropriating it as his own, but Xin Jing and Dr. Li have been living for a long time, only hoping to protect his safety.
And the other task Chen Gonggong gave to Xinjing was to steal the baby of Ziweixing’s fate for him. He believed that China could not have an emperor, and he had to choose one of these babies to be the emperor.
On the second day after the director's son was stolen, professional gunman Chen Qi found the director and expressed his willingness to retrieve his son for him.
Chen Qi's method is very simple, that is, first go to the hospital to pick up Xin Jing's next baby to be stolen, and wait for Xin Jing to come to the door to fight her.
The unaware female Fei Xia Dongdong also followed Chen Qi, and the three girls became a group when they first met (Xin Jing is invisible).
The baby brought out by Chen Qi was accidentally injured in a fight between the three. After being sent to the hospital, he lost too much blood and could not be rescued.
After this fight, Dongdong, Xin Jing and Chen Qi all recognized each other, it turns out that they have a long history. Xinjing's original name was Qingqing, and Dongdong were both orphans. When they were young, they worshipped the master Lin Di'an to practice martial arts, and they had to inherit the responsibility of being a chivalrous teacher.
Later, Qingqing, who was a senior sister, left because of her lack of qualifications. After that, she joined Father Chen’s organization and was brainwashed.For his pawn.
Chen Gonggong has always been simple and rude in doing things. For example, his so-called brainwashing is not a high-tech method, but a piece of wood directly on the back of the head. If you can't kill it, you will lose your memory.
It is even more simple and rude to give his subordinates names. They all have the same surname as Chen, and their names are arranged according to one, two, three, four, five, six. For example, Qingqing changed his name to Chen San, and there was also Chen Jiu, a perverted brain with a bad head.
Chen Qi is of course one of his men, but he sneaked out ten years ago. At that time, Duke Chen sent Xinjing to chase and kill her, but Xin Jing asked her to let her go. Therefore, Chen Qi had always been very grateful to Xin Jing and was unwilling to watch her being controlled by Duke Chen.
Xin Jing has always wanted to get rid of the control of Father Chen, but in order to protect the safety of Dr. Li Zhi had no choice but to make a mistake. Unexpectedly, Grandpa Chen's waiting has reached its limit. He used the flying pigeon to pass the book to Xinjing to get the invisibility cloak and kill Dr. Li within 10 days.
Chen Qi felt very guilty for killing a baby and decided to make up for it and dive into the sewer to rescue the stolen baby.
arrived at the devil's palace, but Chen Qi was attacked by Chen Jiu and Chen Gonggong, and unfortunately got Chen Gonggong's poison while escaping.
Knowing that Chen Qi was not dead, Father Chen sent Chen Jiu with blood drops to hunt down Chen Qi. At the same time, Father Chen began to distrust Xin Jing.
Chen Jiu's style of behavior also directly inherited the simple and rough personality of Chen Jiu. He did not directly kill Chen Qi, but ran to attack a train station to attract Chen Qi to come to a decisive battle.
Chen Qi and Dongdong kill together, fight Chen Jiu, and finally stop him. The fighting scene of
is extremely spectacular. Cheng Xiaodong's imaginative train hits the wall to capture the texture of a Hollywood movie. Pico also vaguely saw the shadow of the later "Adventure King".
Xin Jing found Chen Qi, helped her take out the poisoned needle, and reunited with Dongdong, and the three decided to join forces against Chen Gonggong.
Seeing that the operation failed, Chen Jiu sent Chen Jiu to kill Dr. Li and retrieve the invisibility cloak. Xin Jing, Chen Qi and Dongdong also rushed to stop.
It turned out that Dr. Li was dying from the toxin on the invisibility cloak. Although Chen Jiu was killed in the end, Dr. Li also died of poisoning.
Finally, Xinjing, Chen Qi, and Dongdong went into the sewers and used explosives to blow up the magic palace, exploding Duke Chen to blood.
front warning! ! ! The shadow of childhood has appeared! The body of
was blown up to the point that only a pair of bone-crusted Chen Gonggong was not dead, and walked out of the burning fire. The shot
is obviously a copy of "Terminator", but the sudden appearance of such a moving horror skeleton still causes permanent trauma to thousands of young people born in the 1980s. What makes
even more horrifying is that this pair of bones can still control Xin Jing, using her body to fight Chen Qi and Dongdong.
, already exhausted, Xinjing would rather jump from the top of the building to die with Duke Chen. However, Father Chen's brain was affected by Xin Jing's complex thoughts, and finally couldn't support it and burst into the air.
Xinjing was also lucky enough to be rescued by Dongdong who had rushed over. The last three girls in the
movie all put on black capes and came together very handsomely.
Some people say that the story of the movie is borrowed from "Black Rose" and "Batman". Pico feels that the image of the three also borrows some from Hojo's "Three Sisters of Cat's Eye".
may be due to the film's bloody style and Cult. After the film was released on February 12, 1993, the Lunar New Year file only received 1.94 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. The sequel "Modern Heroes", which was released on September 30 of the same year, was a little better, but it only received 5.23 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. The two films combined were only 7.17 million Hong Kong dollars, and even the pants were lost.
In the same year Stephen Chow had "Tang Bohu Pointing Autumn Fragrance", "Playing Back Three Dragons for the Year of the Rooster", "Jigong"; Jackie Chan had "City Hunter" and "Criminal Case Group"; Jet Li had two "Huang Feihong", Two "Fang Shiyu", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and "Tale of Heaven and Slaying Dragon" It should be said that the excellent movies of that year were reallyToo many, "The Three Heroes of the East" does not appear outstanding among the stars.
But so far, it seems that "The Three Heroes of the East" still shows the plot twists, the action is chic, and the scene is spectacular. Although it is a childhood shadow, it is also one of the classics that we will never tire of after 80s.
Sometimes Pico will think, "The Three Heroes of the East" is the IP, why no one wants to restart it?
