"Iron Baby": Luo Wei uses the "Jing Wu Men" Dongfeng to make another effort, Zheng Peipei becomes the female version of Bruce Lee

God knows how many weird movies I have watched.

"Iron Baby", released in 1973, producer Zou Wenhuai, choreographer Luo Wei, Wu Zhi Han Yingjie, starring Zheng Peipei, Ou Wei, Tian Jun, and seven little blessings.

can be seen from the cast and crew list, many of the staff are the original crew of "Jing Wu Men". The background of the film is set before Yuan Shikai becomes emperor. It tells the story of a group of revolutionary soldiers fighting against Japanese forces to rescue Mr. Cai (Cai E) who was under house arrest by Yuan Shikai. The heroine Chen Xiaoying (Zheng Peipei) and the actor Yang Gang (Tian Jun) They are all disciples of "Jing Wu Men"-obviously, this is another kung fu film that eats leftovers from "Jing Wu Men".

"Jing Wu Men", Luo Wei, Bruce Lee

If Luo Wei's works in the "Shaw Brothers" period are enough to make him bear the title of "Millions of Directors", then after parting with Bruce Lee, he was completely lost. Up. Luo Wei fell into a self-hypnotic dream. He wishfully thought that Bruce Lee was created by him, and he stubbornly believed that he could recreate a Bruce Lee superstar. Whether it is Zheng Peipei in the film, or later Wang Dao, Jackie Chan, Chen Huimin, and even the first famous Wang Yu, all of them have become imitators of the botched Bruce Lee under Luo Wei. This stubborn attitude makes his later Kung Fu movies extremely sparse. Even if he left "Jiahe" and set up his own business and dabbled in other types of movies, he followed suit, and ended up in a situation where no one would buy it and pay for it.

The heroine of this film, Zheng Peipei, debuted in a song and dance film. CUHK shines. During the "Shaw Brothers" period, she cooperated with Luo Wei in "Dragon Pond", "Shadow Whip", and "Five Tigers Slaying Dragons". It is with these films that Luo Wei is firmly established as a "Million Director". s position. This time working with Rowe again, it should be a tacit understanding. Regrettably, Zheng Peipei blindly caters to Rowe, and in this film there is no aura, and he is in a state of excessive force from beginning to end.

"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"

Zheng Peipei's appearance has not changed much over the years. Perhaps her later roles such as "Mrs. Hua" and "Blue-eyed Fox" are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her face is a bit difficult to enter the scene.

"Jing Wu Men", Bruce Lee

martial arts director Han Yingjie still has not gotten rid of the traditional Kung Fu movie stereotypes, the design of the action occasionally has a clever pen but the overall is not satisfactory. It can be seen that in order to make Zheng Peipei close to Bruce Lee's fierce style, Han Yingjie made a lot of effort, using a lot of knee bumps, elbow hits and other actions, as well as Bruce Lee's signature serial kicks. Although Zheng Peipei has dancing skills, she is far from Bruce Lee's fighting style similar to actual combat, so the final effect is still unstable, lack of strength, and slightly comical.

Zheng Peipei recalls Bruce Lee

It is worth mentioning that, although Zheng Peipei and Bruce Lee have no film cooperation, they are a pair of friends in private. She often talked about Bruce Lee in TV interviews, saying that he was addicted to martial arts and often asked for "discussion" in public.

Because of Zheng Peipei’s "film generation", so the Seven Little Fortunes are in this movie. Can only run around. Jackie Chan, Yuan Hua, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wen, Yuan Ting and others appeared one by one, playing the roles of Japanese samurai, miscellaneous soldiers, and others. However, it is gratifying that the role of these people has been greatly improved compared with that in "Jing Wu Men", Jackie Chan said a few lines.

Ouwei

There is also an actor in the film, Ouwei from Taiwan. Ouwei won the Golden Horse Award winner twice in 1967 and 1972. He plays the detective in the filmTeam leader Lei Tianbao. When shooting this film, Ouwei's body was already in a state. At the end of 1973, Ouwei died of illness at the age of 37.

Zheng Peipei, Luo Wei

Luo Wei also played a role.

Shido Ding, Zheng Peipei

Finally, Chen Xiaoying overcome all difficulties and finally rescued Mr. Cai and killed the leader of the Japanese samurai. Like the ending of "Jing Wu Men", the film came to an end in a burst of gunfire.

Finally, let's take a look at Zheng Peipei's youthful appearance. She changed many sets of clothes in this film, which is very eye-catching. The costume designer should add chicken legs.
