Finally one day, I skipped class and entered the video hall. The lights were dim, the smell of tobacco was mixed with foot odor and an indescribable smell, the wooden chairs were so hard that they shook your buttocks, the "giant screen" color TV that was not common in the house and the video recorder that was so luxurious that you wanted to own one. However, I soon became deeply attracted by Hong Kong movies and couldn't extricate myself.
However, these have become our permanent memories. Even if you are sitting in a movie theater today that is as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, you can no longer feel the same way you did back then.
"The Legend of the Nine-One Divine Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Nine-Two Divine Condor Heroes" were originally thought to be Jin Yong's martial arts dramas. After watching them, I realized that they are modern and magical love dramas. At that time, Andy Lau had a face full of collagen and was extremely handsome. At that time, Anita Mui played two roles, and she was worthy of being the ever-changing queen. At that time, Guan Zhilin was extremely beautiful. Especially Aaron Kwok, who made a surprise appearance in the second episode. Just his popular four-six points made people's hearts beat faster.
The first time I saw Chow Yun-fat, I was immediately attracted by his powerful aura. The music when Chow Yun-fat appears with his shiny back hair perfectly matches his dazzling movements. In addition to cream and muscles, this is how handsome a man can be. The scene where Gao Jin wins a mountain of money while talking and laughing stimulates our nerves. "God of Gamblers" pioneered Hong Kong gambling films, and Wong Jing's name has also been left deep in our memories. After "God of Gamblers", there is no more God of Gamblers.
"A Better Tomorrow" tells us that the love between men can really be like the friendship between men in Taoyuan, where they do not want to be born in the same year and the same day, but they want to die in the same year and the same day. How many boys have imitated Ponyboy's action of shooting a gun while wearing a windbreaker. "I've been waiting for three years just for an opportunity. I want to fight for it. I don't want to prove that I am great. I want to tell others that I must get back what I lost." These words of Xiao Ma are still relevant to this day. Still feeling queasy.
"God of Gamblers" is irreplaceable, so Stephen Chow and Wong Jing had to find another way. Ah Xing, who is just like us, relies on his special powers to achieve glory in life. At that time, it was an era when all kinds of gods and masters appeared frequently, and special powers were praised as miraculous. Are you like me, having special powers in your dreams and showing off your talents? Like Stephen Chow, the one who is remembered by us is the incredibly beautiful Zhang Min.
I originally thought "The Lover" was a romance film, but I didn't expect it to be turned into a nonsensical film by Stephen Chow. In the early days, there was no Uncle Tat, and Stephen Chow's movies were still a little bit less popular. The most attractive thing in the movie is Ye Zimei's breasts. After watching this movie, do you look at the female classmates in the class differently than before?
When it comes to zombies, I’m afraid we all think of horror movies. But the zombie series shot by Lin Zhengying is a little less scary and a little more glamorous, funny and kung fu. Is anyone out there, like Xiaoyu, half-covering their eyes while watching one zombie movie after another? Not only was he blindfolded by the horror of the zombie character that was about to appear, but he was also afraid of the intense and exciting plot and was afraid of missing a scene. Perhaps only Lin Zhengying can achieve this kind of ambivalence in the audience.
Starting from "Police Story", Jackie Chan is no longer the Kung Fu boy with great martial arts skills and hilarious tricks. Instead, he puts on police uniforms and modern clothes, creating a precedent for Kung Fu comedies in Hong Kong. Although the clothes have been changed and the moves have changed, the eldest brother's life-threatening spirit that scares even the stand-in and the insurance company has not changed. In "Police Story 1", he jumped from the pillar in the middle of the shopping mall, and the moment turned into eternity.
There are obvious differences between "Drunken Master 2" and "Drunken Master 1". Jackie Chan's movements have broken through the limitations of one move and one move, and there is no move to win without a move. The self-created Eight Drunken Boxing Styles and the ultimate showdown with Lu Huiguang, who has amazing leg skills, are both exciting and exciting, with some jokes sprinkled in from time to time. The feeling of watching the show can be described in one word: enjoyable. The young marshal played by Andy Lau in the film only appears for less than two minutes, but he is very handsome. Anita Mui's acting skills are amazing.
Jet Li has acted in so many action movies, but Xiaoyu’s favorite is still the first "Once Upon a Time" movie "A Man Should Be Strong". Tsui Hark's unbridled imagination coupled with Jet Li's national martial arts champion skills present us with a movie that is completely different from all previous Kung Fu movies. Foshan Shadowless Kung Fu was once a popular kung fu among school boys. In Tsui Hark's movie, the knight who cares about the country and the people truly realizes our dream of flying over the walls. Kung Fu moves can be so beautiful.
"Fist of Heroes" is called "the textbook of action movies" and is an insurmountable peak. Yuen Woo-Ping's kung fu design is truly breathtaking. Although this movie is a remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury", it has undergone radical changes. The intersection of Chinese and Western martial arts theories and the collision of Chinese and Western cultures are the most thought-provoking aspects of this movie. Since "Fist of Heroes", the action design of kung fu movies has been unparalleled. The level of kung fu refers to cultivation, not fists. This is the true meaning of martial arts.
I wonder if anyone is like Xiaoyu. When he watched "Days of Wild" for the first time, he lost his patience within a few minutes. What the hell is this shot by Wong Kar Wai? The plot drags so hard, the lines are so difficult to understand, and the lighting is so dim. If it weren't for the names of his brother and Maggie Cheung, Xiaoyu wouldn't have spent more than 90 minutes watching a movie he didn't understand. However, my brother at that time was really different. Maggie Cheung at that time had a different kind of beauty. When I grow up, I need to read the online comments about "Days of Wild" before I can endure to watch this movie. Although I still don’t understand it, the acting skills of my brother and Maggie Cheung are admirable.
Just the names of Andy Lau and Lai Ming make it worth skipping school to watch "Soaring Dragon". In 1992, the Four Heavenly Kings were born, but the battle between Andy Lau and Lai Ming had already begun. The killer played by Li Ming in the movie really represents handsomeness and coolness to the extreme. Deng Guangrong, apart from Chow Yun-fat, is the only star who can interpret the imposing manner of Jianghu Big Brother, who can defeat thousands of people under one person. The kind-faced and cruel second son played by Simon Yam makes people grit their teeth with hatred.
I watched "Super School Fighter" not because of anything else, but because of the most popular electronic video game "Street Fighter" at the time. Are there any boys like Xiaoyu who steal change from their parents and go to the game arcade to play in the dark? To make a movie based on this theme, Wang Jing is definitely not a bad movie director. What's more, he was able to get Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Aaron Kwok, among the Four Heavenly Kings who were popular in Asia at the time, to appear in a movie. Unfortunately, Lai Lai cannot participate in the show due to scheduling reasons. Otherwise, if the four kings appear in a movie, it will definitely go down in the history of movies. In addition, there are also stars in this film such as Dicky Cheung, Ekin Cheng, Simon Yam, Qiu Shuzhen, Liu Xiaohui, Xu Zhian, etc. The cast is definitely on par with the star-studded "East and West".
Not only can she play a sexy goddess, but she can also play a good wife and mother. The beautiful and hot Qiu Shuzhen is definitely the otaku goddess of the 1980s. Whether it is her appearance or acting skills, she is a few steps ahead of the current "goddess". "Naked Lamb" is Qiu Shuzhen's first movie from a beautiful girl to a sexy one. She is sexy to the core. Sexy but not gaudy, elegant but not a bit frivolous, this is the difference between Qiu Shuzhen and those out-of-this-world celebrities.
In 1991, rare floods occurred in southern China. In order to raise funds for charity, more than 200 first- and second-tier Hong Kong artists guest-starred in the film without pay. This kind of lineup was unprecedented. Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Stephen Chow, Cheng Yuling, Eric Tsang, Karen Yip, Xu Guanwen, Anita Mui, Ng Yiu-han, Rosamund Kwan, Tony Leung, Joey Wong, Sammo Hung, Ng Mang-tat, Aaron Kwok, Maggie Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Simon Yam, Ti Lung, Wai Ying-hong... Just the name, Worth the money for that video ticket.
