In my impression, "Thunderbolt" was released on the mainland. Of course, I don’t have any specific information today, because the best movie theater here at that time was right next to my door. "Hero" was watched on the local stage at the time. Jackie Chan’s "Thunderbolt" looks very exciting today, with first-class action scenes and superb speed stunts. The key is that I think it is very different from the previous and future Jackie Chan movies. As for the reason, I will analyze it below. The reason why this movie has been mentioned so much is that Jackie Chan was a little unhappy when he was filming this movie, because Anita Yuan was so angry that he was very angry when he played a big name. As a result, Anita Yuan was rejected by various places for a long time and did not continue to develop. It is said that many years later, under the reconciliation of Zeng Zhiwei, her suspicions were cleared up, but she also felt that her behavior at the time was not very professional. This matter kept her for many years, and it was not worth the loss.
Hong Kong racing movies are not scarce, Chow Yun-fat, Ren Dahua, and Ekin Cheng have all filmed. Later, although "Initial D" filmed by Jay Chou was adapted from a Japanese manga, it was very famous. But in fact, this theme still depends on Jackie Chan's "Fire Thunder", many people may not have seen it, it is really worth reviewing. The reason why I say this drama is different is that in all Jackie Chan's films, he only shot this subject once. Although Jackie Chan's movies have many scenes of speed chase, this is also the strength of his married class, but this time he Very focused. And there are fewer funny fights. What is often criticized by Liu Jialiang is juggling and bravery. In this film, you are actually hard to see except for bravery. Not only is the action clean and tidy, but Jackie Chan has a hot personality in this film.
If you are interested, you will find that the fighting style is very similar to the "Jing Wu Hero" filmed by Chen Jiashang and Jet Li the previous year. For Chen Jiashang, he did not show off the film, and you can avoid the film by searching for his information. Around this period, even a teacher and father with strength and qualifications like Liu Jialiang also When filming "Drunken Master", you must share the directorship power with Jackie Chan. So I think Director Chen is also a person who doesn't seem to be fighting for fame and fortune. The content of the film is not complicated: A Huo (Jackie Chan), a garage repairman, has a hot temper. He is not only agile, but also has first-rate driving skills. Only because of poverty at home has he never realized his dream of being a racer. On this day, the police found him hoping that he could help arrest Cook, the leader of the car theft. Because Cook's driving skills are first-rate, the police set up roadblocks many times to chase and found nothing. Ah Huo readily agreed.
With the help of Ahuo, the police finally caught Cook with great effort. But Cook was rescued by his accomplices during his detention. The car theft group also attacked Ahuo's garage. Ahuo escaped, but his two younger sisters were seriously injured. Then Cook joined a Japanese team, and Joahuo competed on the Japanese circuit. In order to get revenge, Ahuo resolutely participated! "Thunderbolt" in this movie, Jackie Chan shows you what the desperate Saburo style is. The exciting and exciting scenes from the beginning to the end are really breathtaking, and the speeding chase scenes in the film make the audience excited. Director Chen Jia, who had studied defense technology in the United States, showed the military action weapon masters in "Thunderbolt", and there are many action directors who have come out in full force. Photographing 6 HKSC, editing 4 HKSE, plus a bunch of martial arts, the action scenes and drag racing scenes are indeed high-level, and the design of the crane scene is quite innovative. However, it is said that the final racing scene was filmed at regular speed and the post-production was accelerated, and safety first.
It seems that this rare racing movie in Asia at that time, the main story is slightly weaker than other Jackie Chan movies, but seeing a lot of racing scenes is still very exciting. In that era when special effects were not used, Jackie Chan was the only one who could play passionately. There are also two episodes in this play. One is that Jackie Chan's foot bones were cracked when he was filming "Thunderbolt", which is in line with the title of professional injured professional. Of course, superman like Jackie Chan will disappear in the future. Second, "Fire Thunder" was originally positioned as a tragedy, but halfway through the filming, "Red Zone" starring Jackie Chan was a big success at the US box office, and the film company boss persuaded director Chen Jiashang to change the film into a comedy. In fact, the reason why this movie seems to be incompatible with Jackie Chan's juggling film mode today is that the movie has changed a lot, but unfortunately, it was not allowed to continue to break through. At that time, it was said that Jackie Chan could not be killed.
You should pay attention to the first half of this play, Jackie ChanI've been very hot and angry, I don't know why, it's very interesting anyway. One last gossip: The film cost 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the most expensive in the history of Hong Kong film at the time. Jackie Chan was qualified at that time. After that, Jackie Chan will not only belong to Hong Kong. Hollywood has opened the door for him, and of course it is getting more and more. Unlike the Jackie Chan we want, but he is still a great actor.
