, one can be called , the pinnacle of Chinese action films in the past 20 years.
Many people would think that what I'm talking about is " kills the wolf ".
is not actually, but another movie that can be compared with it, and has surpassed it - " fuse " . The whole film of
was deleted by 3 minutes and was repeatedly replayed by CCTV. This classic action film is enough to be recorded in film history:
"Fuse"丨Flash Point
In my hard drive, there are only three kinds of action films.
One is kung fu film, the other is "action film", and the last one is "Fuse".
I don't know how many times I have reminisced about this movie, there is always a feeling of never getting tired of watching it.
, especially the action scene at the end, is like a textbook for MMA. The original name of the
movie is " Breaks the Army ", which is derived from one of the Big Dipper , and can also be called "consumption star", "consumption" represents destruction, meaning that everything is broken first and then established.
However, after the shooting started, many actors including Donnie Yen , Zou Zhaolong and others were injured, which greatly affected the shooting progress.
So the crew felt that they had to change the title of the film and have the name "Fuse".
"Fuse" was released in 2007 and cost more than $10 million. The biggest attraction of the
movie is undoubtedly its mixed fighting action design.
In the past, Hong Kong action movies always used the gimmick of "real kung fu" as a selling point to earn box office.
However, with the passage of time, the martial arts routine of seeing tricks and dismantling tricks has caused the audience to have aesthetic fatigue.
In order to seek a breakthrough, "Slaying the Wolf" took the lead in applying the mixed martial arts concept, emphasizing the highly liberalized martial arts system of fighting.
Unexpectedly, this attempt was a great success.
So in "Fuse", Donnie Yen specially invited fighting masters from Korea, Japan, the United States, Thailand and other countries to spend a whole year to determine the appropriate fighting style, and strive to highlight the beauty of power, rather than showing off blood and violence.
So at the end of the film, Donnie Yen and Zou Zhaolong used a variety of classic MMA fighting techniques during their 8-minute fight.
is exactly this kind of original design, and the movie is a big hit at the box office after its release. The box office of
in the first week was more than 20 million, which was considered a very good box office performance at the time.
Not only that, "Fuse" also won the Academy Award for and the Golden Horse Award for the best action design award.
It can be said that this movie is a milestone for Donnie Yen's career. At the same time,
is also an unsurpassed masterpiece in the history of Chinese action movies.
It is understood that the script of "Slaying the Wolf" was inspired by real people, telling the story of the struggle between the police and local evil forces before Hong Kong returned to .
and the whole film is mainly divided into literary drama and martial arts , the two complement each other.
Before filming started, director Wilson Ye talked to Donnie Yen about the conditions, that the film must be both civil and military, and promote the development of the plot with each other.
The story has just begun, and the criminal gang headed by the three brothers Zha Ge, Tony and Ah Hu Vietnam Gang is getting more and more rampant.
struggled to find evidence, so the police sent undercover Watson as a gangster to infiltrate them all.
One day, because he swallowed the "goods" of Brother Shan ( Lin Guobin ), the other party brought his subordinates to the door and was injured by the three brothers.
After the incident, TONY also told Ah Hu to cut Brother Shan into serious injuries. Fortunately, Watson lied that the police had arrived, and temporarily saved Brother Shan.
In desperation, Brother Shan chose to be a tainted witness to help the police bring the three brothers to justice.
It's a pity that TONY soon found out about this and decided to get rid of him to avoid endless troubles.
On the night of the three brothers' mother's birthday, no one came to the banquet. TONY began to suspect that there was a traitor inside, and decided to let the scumbag take his mother to escape separately.
On the other hand, the police sent Ma Jun (played by Donnie Yen) to take charge of the case.
Because of his hatred of hatred, he will injure prisoners every time, and even be disabled for life. Therefore, every time he finishes a case, he will receive complaints from all sides.
Next, the rhythm of the plot development suddenly accelerated.
First, in the process of escaping, the scumbag was arrested by the police, and TONY discovered Watson's undercover identity and actively contacted Ma Jun with his mobile phone.
For a second, both sides of the phone were silent, and the two sides played a psychological game. The next second, TONY directly told Ma Jun where they escaped.
Immediately after, in order to help the captured scumbag escape, Tony and Ah Hu made all the witnesses disappear overnight, even the boss, Officer Huang, and a group of colleagues.
And Watson's girlfriend was also taken away by TONY's men. Ah Hu wanted to get rid of Watson, but was defeated by Ma Jun who arrived in time.
It can be said that his girlfriend Qiu Ti is Watson's weakness, and also the fuse in the final battle.
In the end, it was the classic "Breakhouse Showdown" . The whole action scene of
is clean and neat, without the slightest sloppiness, and the connection and coordination of the action moves are seamless, almost all "stuck" to the rhythm point.
is pragmatic and eye-catching, refined without being sluggish, and refreshing the audience. At the end of
, Ma Jun said the last sentence: "I did not arrest the wrong person, this question is left to the judge to answer. I am a policeman, and my duty is to catch thieves and protect the stability and prosperity here."
Actually, In addition to the wonderful fighting scenes, the film also shows a lot of love, family and brotherhood scenes. Although the three brothers
are ruthless, they still have a love for their mother in their hearts, which is ironic.
and children become demons, a result that all mothers do not want to see.
It is better to "choose" amnesia instead of facing the pain, so in the film, TONY's mother often said:
"I have three sons, but I don't know where they all went?"
is because So many three-dimensional and comprehensive portrayals of characters make the film more profound, rather than limited to action scenes to attract people's attention.
It's a pity that the success of "Fuse" did not spawn a sequel.
This may be the only regret left to the audience!
