did not postpone the release but chose to broadcast online, which made people somewhat doubt the quality of the film. However, after watching it, I found that "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" is a veritable New Year movie. It is enjoyable and happy, and it is a rare decompression blockbuster.
Subverted Donnie Yen. After Ip Man played a novel
, there is no doubt that Donnie Yen is currently the action superstar carrying the banner of kung fu movies. As the male number one in "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", the audience's most anticipated nature is his actions.
Actually, Donnie Yen in recent years has made me a bit regretful. The "Ip Man" series is the benchmark of kung fu movies, but it also brings constraints to Donnie Yen’s creation. Recalling the time when "Slaying the Wolf", "The Fuse", and the fashion action film Donnie Yen Good MMA burns more! Sending away "Ip Man 4" and then watching "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" will yield a lot of surprises. The fierce and eclectic Donnie Yen is back.
The director of "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" Kenji Tanigaki, as well as the action directors Yan Hua and Yu Kang all grew up in the "Zhen Family Class", and they have a tacit understanding in the long-term cooperation with Yen Zidan. Therefore, the filming of "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" Donnie Yen must have realized his various visions of action. There are several action highlights in the
movie, each of which is cleverly designed and innovative. The first scene of
is a street gangster who is not long after the beginning of the movie. Zhu Fulong, played by Donnie Yen, grabs the roof of the car, chases the car overturned, and fights close to a few robbers in a small space inside the car. The whole scene is very enjoyable. Seeing this, I am already looking forward to the next action scenes. After all, the first scene has already increased the difficulty factor to this much.
followed by the hot pot restaurant battle after Zhu Fulong arrived in Japan. The title of "Fatty Dragon" is just as the name suggests. In the movie, Donnie Yen turned himself into a 250-jin fat man. This is the first time Donnie Yen has tried to change his body shape in a movie. In this way, filming becomes difficult.
But the bigger challenge is that the action guide has to make him jump up and down, toss and turn around the second-story loft of the hot pot restaurant, and toss with the gangsters, once again staged a good show of "one hit ten", the difference is that in "Ip Man" is a stern Wing Chun technique, while in "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", the tricks and fun are played, which makes people happy to watch.
There is also a wonderful play in the fish market in Kabukicho. This scene made me sigh. The development of action movies to this day, the audience has long been dissatisfied with the traditional fist to the flesh, fighting each other for life, there must be fresh designs to make people satisfied. In this stage of play, Yen Zidan made full use of various materials in the fish market, used cardboard boxes and fish nets to fight the sickles in the hands of punks, and constantly staged difficult movements such as one-line horses and back somersaults.
Wang Jing, who hasn't acted for a long time, drove a forklift to cooperate with Donnie Yen. This humorous fighting style has really not appeared in the movie for a long time.
Of course, there is also the climax at the end. Donnie Yen and the big villain boss hit the Tokyo Tower. Donnie Yen pays tribute to Bruce Lee with a nunchaku, and fought with his opponent in a fierce battle. The director Wang Jing of
still feels that he is not enjoyable enough, and he even mobilized a helicopter to make the movie full of entertainment and let the audience become addicted to action movies.
The most entertaining Wang Jing, how many unique skills are there?
Wang Jing, who has been in the business for more than 40 years, is very prolific. The quality of movies varies from good to bad, but Wang Jing is definitely the most entertaining Hong Kong director. No one can deny it. At this point, I have high expectations for "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", but Wang Jing still surprised me. This time, Wang Jing used a different tone from "Chasing the Dragon", trying to be relaxed and funny. The seemingly lackluster plot is actually very successful from two perspectives.
First of all, "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" achieves that the plot and action complement each other, and the combination is very good. The problem that Hong Kong action movies are prone to is that the action is out of touch with the plot. This time Wang Jing has avoided this very well.Point, Zhu Fulong, played by Donnie Yen, went from fighting with robbers in Hong Kong to fighting against gangs in Japan and finally hitting the Tokyo Tower. No scene was played for fighting. Action scenes escalated time after time and conflicts became more and more intense. Watching this action film that is almost from start to finish will not be aesthetically tired, but will continue to be interesting.
The second point, Wang Jing has incorporated a lot of humor, and has a lot of refraction and ridicule of reality. For example, at the beginning of the movie, the actor played by Zhou Liqi was bullied on the set, and later by the "hidden rules" of the Japanese underworld, which can be seen as a satire of the chaos in the entertainment industry.
During the violent fight between Donnie Yen and the robbers, the two media not only entangled, but even handed hammers to the robbers. When watching this scene, he laughed and talked about it. After watching it, he realized that he was making fun of the media. There is also the material of Bruce Lee in the
movie, which is a nostalgia and tribute to the kung fu predecessors. In addition, the fragment of "Slaying the Wolf" echoes the fragment of Zhu Fulong's beating "Yellow Hair" in the movie, which can make audiences who understand the movie gossip smile knowingly.
"Fat Dragon Crossing the River" really gave me a lot of surprises and surprises. I was surprised at Wang Jing's funny and burdensome ability, and also surprised at Yen Zidan's replay of his MMA fighting features, making the audience addicted to action movies. In special times, everyone has to stay at home and isolate themselves. Under such circumstances, it is better to open Tencent Video and watch "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" to ensure that you will not be disappointed.
