was hailed as the year of Stephen Chow in 1992. The ten most popular Hong Kong movies in Hong Kong, the top five were all occupied by Star Master, but there were also many excellent classic movies that year, but they encountered Waterloo at the box office in Hong Kong and became cannon fodder. Let's take a look!
1, "Oath to Never Forget Love": Box office of 2.19 million Hong Kong dollars (box office data source Time.com, the same below)
, also known as "The God of the Bold", directed by Zhang Zhiliang, Zou Zhaolong (Ni Xing), Sammo Hung, Lin Zhengying, Xu Jinjiang, Li Zhi, etc. Co-starring, Chang Wei, Zou Zhaolong, is a rare starring role. It seems that Sammo Hung also praised his apprentice back then. It is a crime film on the surface, but it is actually a literary film, telling a sad love story. This time, Li Zhi was completely washed out, and did not use "chest" as a selling point. He starred in an innocent and simple country girl. The rivalry with Zou Zhaolong is also very interesting, and the nine-uncle Lin Zhengying is an infatuated character who has a crush on her. It's touching. At the same time, this is also the last film before Li Zhi's filming. If you play more of this type of film, it will only be a matter of time before winning the prize.
2, "The King of Power": At the box office of 2.14 million Hong Kong dollars
Lan Nai was self-written and directed, starring Fan Shaohuang and Ye Yunyi. It is the first Ⅲ movie in Hong Kong that is too violent and not defined as pornography. It has a box office of only 2.14 million Hong Kong films. There are two reasons. One is that Japan was released a year earlier than Hong Kong, and the other is that the release time in Hong Kong was only 7 days. It is estimated that it was too bloody and violent, so it was released! The film is adapted from a Japanese manga, and the director Lan Naicai himself studied under a Japanese photographer, so "Rikyu" has many Japanese movie elements in it. The story is very simple, the special effects are relatively rough, but the whole process is to make people burst into blood, hormones rise, it is a classic cult film that should not be missed, especially for men.
3, "Cage Man": 1.76 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office
Zhang Zhiliang directed, also a Ⅲ film, but it is because the lines in the film are more vulgar, and the later "Zhi Ming and Chun Jiao" turned out to have the same fate. "Cage Man" focuses on the low-level figures in Hong Kong. It is a rare and excellent realistic film that restores the real Hong Kong caged people to us. It uses a cage to show all kinds of human feelings and warmth. Every character in it is the protagonist, Joe Hong, Liao Qizhi, Teddy Robin, Li Mingyang, Gu Feng, etc., of course also have to mention Huang Jiaju, but it is a pity that he left us early.
4, "Heroic Sword Club": Box office of 1.49 million Hong Kong dollars
, also known as "Heroic Tears", a movie starring Crow Zhang Yaoyang, and turned out to be a good man, at the same time a good eldest brother. He had nothing to say to his lover, to his sister, to his brother, and he was totally different from the crow who likes to lift the table. In addition to Zhang Yaoyang's wonderful performance, the characters such as the big villains Liu Songren, Yin Yangming, Chen Songling, and Peng Jiali are all very three-dimensional and full, which is a rare action film. At the same time, Chen Songling's movie episode "I am in love with a hero" has a good rhythm, which is almost the same as Ye Qianwen's "Walk A Time".
5, "Chess King": 1.15 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office
This film is co-directed by Tsui Hark and Yan Hao. Two novels of the same name are adapted into a movie. I have to praise the talents of the two directors. The two stories are connected through time and space. They are all about genius stories, and the focus is naturally on Liang Jiahui. His acting skills have reached a superb state. Whether it is eating and eating on the train to give a sense of ritual, or in the end with a one-to-nine domineering, he has dedicated the best Acting, but he lost to his own "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose" at the Academy Awards that year. What is even more rare is that Leung Ka Fai also participated in the work of screenwriters, but it is reasonable to think about it. After all, he graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and has written many columns.
6, "Music Zombie": Box office of 1.06 million Hong Kong dollars
Since "Mr. Zombie" turned out in 1985, zombie films became a trend in the following years, but in the 1990s, it basically ceased to work. It was used by Stephen Chow's comedy and Jet Li's. Martial arts films have occupied the market. Compared with other zombie films, "Music Zombie" is not much new. The most fun thing is that Jiushu pretends to be a zombie against zombies and uses all kinds of magic weapons along the way to deal with him. What little yellow flags, copper coins, and lightning The magic rune, the gossip mirror, and the red copper coin sword were all ineffective. It was a bug in the zombie class. Finally, Jiu Shu asked him what he was afraid of, and he even said he was afraid of injections. Read the book at the same timeAfter the film, I learned a little knowledge: Zombies can't pee.
7, "Scorpion Warrior": Box office of 510,000 Hong Kong dollars
, also known as "Comic Fist", co-starring Liu Jialiang, Qian Jiale, Yuan Zhen, Luo Meiwei, is a classic action film that has been ignored. Once upon a time, the box office appeal of Liu Jialiang in the 1970s and 1980s was still good, but I didn't expect that in the 1990s, he would have reached such a point, only 510,000 Hong Kong dollars. The most outstanding thing is naturally the villain Yuan Zhen, the scorpion skill is eye-opening, and every action is full of weird beauty. In addition to scorpion work, there are other dishes, eel work, etc.
8, "Eastern Ranger": 440,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office
, also known as "Martial Arts Saint Seiya", directed by Zhang Xinyan, starring Yu Rongguang and Yang Lijing. In the 1980s, Zhang Xinyan sold a ticket of 1 cent and a box office of 161578014 yuan for "Shaolin Temple". This time it turned out to be only 440,000 Hong Kong dollars. If calculated at the exchange rate at the time, it is now several million at the box office. Zhang Xinyan also used some old teams this time, such as Ji Chunhua and Yu Hai. If the protagonist were replaced by Jet Li, it would be different. The most classic should be the sentence: "We Japanese are short in stature, we are easy to recognize when we get together".
A low box office is not necessarily a bad movie. On the contrary, a high box office is not necessarily a good movie. Box office is not the only criterion for judging the quality of a movie. There are too many factors influencing the quality of movies, such as stories, directors, actors, photography, costumes and so on. How many movies have you seen that failed at the box office above?
