Cool though
But it's easy to make the audience think it's a part
Movies like [Fast & Furious]...
[Extreme Car Thief God] tells the story of a kind, but hearing-impaired boy baby, who thinks that the car theft is used by the gangster boss, who is responsible for driving the car to help the bank robber get out. But just when the debts are cleared and the baby has a girl he likes, he is threatened again to participate in the robbery. When an accident occurs and the lover's life is threatened, the baby decides to become his own god, for the final stubbornness.
At this time, Uncle Ba had to say
As a fan of "Need for Speed" for many years
After seeing this movie
Thanks to Director Lai for carefully designing the original drag racing scene
In [Extreme Car Thief God], the baby dumps the police helicopter reconnaissance scene and "Need for Speed" is the same
Renderings of Need for Speed
Earlier [Fast & Furious 8] was released
Uncle Ba said that this is a series of movies that make b-grade films into big productions
Constantly pursuing big scenes and adrenaline glands
Forget about drag racing itself, that sense of freedom and excitement
The concept of "home" is also slowly being hollowed out
When the host asked [Extreme Car Thief] actor Ansel Algot
If the "baby" in the film is racing with Van Diesel, who will win? ”
Ansel Algot said
"Baby, of course
Because the drag racing scenes in the movie are all real shooting
And [Fast & Furious] it's all cgi."

For director Edgar Wright
Those who know him well will probably understand his humor
Learn about his "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy
[World's End], [Shaun the Zombie], [Hot Blood Detective]
Simon Peggy's Classic [Shaun the Zombie]
[Hot-blooded Detective]
[World's End]
If you look at the trilogy simply, Edgar Wright really loves home culture and has his own insistence on youth and friendship. There is no lack of warmth in black humor. In addition, The boldness and creativity of Director Lai can be seen in the later film [Crooked Boy Scott Vs. the World].
In [Crooked Scott Vs. the World], rock young Scott defeats Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends one by one in order to catch up with his soulmate, Ramona. The switching between scenes, suggesting that Scott's space is lost when thinking, as well as the character dialogue and the embodiment of the voice, all reflect the director's super-evil imagination.
Maybe [Crooked Boy Scott vs. the Whole World] is the ancestor of the 囧 emoji
This [Extreme Car Thief] is very different from Edgar Wright's previous works, but if you see it, you must know that it is his work.
Let's talk about the music of this movie, more than 30 soundtracks should be considered more in Lai's films, and Lai's director conceived this film because of that "bellbottoms".
There are a lot of singing, dancing, and freestyle scenes in the film, of course, this is not a problem for the actor Ansel Algot, because Ansel is from Broadway, singing and dancing at will.
Before, I wanted to ask the director why he didn't look for the "Iron Triangle" Simon Peggy and Nick to play, but after watching the movie, I understood that it was purely blind. Imagine Simon Peggy playing a baby, robbing a bank, and falling in love, and it should just turn into a comedy.
The director said that he was creating a movie for a song, but in Uncle Ba's view, Director Lai is definitely a master of seduction, or why is the male protagonist called "baby"?!
When the male protagonist meets deborah, a girl who sings well, looks beautiful, and has a long-distance dream of listening to high songs in the café. The girl asked what your name was, and the man said, "My name is baby." The next lines do not need to be imagined to know, should be full of ambiguous flirtation ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
In order to match the music, the director designed a lot of details. For example, in the opening bank robbery scene, after the baby and other gangs enter the bank, they begin to move with music in the car. When a police car passes by, the baby immediately enters a calm state, and this performance can be said to be particularly realistic.
Anyone who listens to music knows that putting on headphones is another world. They are shy or shy in front of others, or shy, but as long as their own rhythm comes from the headphones, they can let go of themselves and move casually. It's like people who don't usually listen to music and don't understand why there are so many "crazy people" at music festivals.
Before dividing the booty, baby is on his way to buy coffee, and the director gives a long shot. This street shot, which looks like [City of Philharmonic], is actually more similar to the scene in [Shaun of the Zombies] where Sean buys something in the morning.
[Shaun the Zombie] buys Coke
The director shot 28 times for this long shot, which contains the director's use of life scenes. For example, the sound of the beautiful woman using the ATM machine is integrated into the background music, the baby imitates the street graffiti to do the action, and the playing action under the pretext of the trumpet in the window booth, all of which make the role of baby more realistic and flexible.
Such details are particularly numerous in the film, even in the second half of the film, where Buddy, the "male and female thief" played by Joe Hamm, shoots at the rhythm of the drum beats of the music, which is very interesting.
Speaking of music, I have to say the biggest laugh in the film, Baby recorded the speech of the boss (Kevin Spacey) into a cassette, and tapped and made a remix. Although funny, but I also hope that you do not engage in your own boss ha, after all, it is related to the rice bowl ~ ~~
The idiot reacts slowly, does he react slowly
Director Lai said that this baby mixing scene is because a DJ friend around the director has this hobby, and the director invited him to the script study meeting, and then asked him how to say these lines into the music, and demonstrated how to make the mix.
A large color block similar to [Philharmonic City].
In addition to the classic retro musical elements and colors, the movie [Extreme Car Thief] also has many details of tribute, which can be said to be very cute.
A bit familiar, Beatles?
In the film, the baby accompanies joseph, a deaf mute, watches TV, and the TV flashes between [Fight Club] and [Monster Power Company], and the baby remembers the lines and uses them in the dialogue with the boss. For this reason, Director Lai also specially thanked the director of [Monster Power Company] in the film crew table.
[Monster Power]
The last thing to say is that although this movie is good, whether it is a drag racing scene or an emotional line, it is very good. But the entire film is filled with baby's tinnitus due to musical concatenation. Therefore, music is the biggest obstacle between most Chinese audiences and this movie.
Original soundtrack from 80s and 90s songs to hip-hop rap, these classic, retro Western music is not acceptable to most mainland audiences, in their ears perhaps this movie is really a bit noisy ~ ~ As for the mainland release version is 4 minutes less than the normal film, these 4 minutes are less specific, can only rely on obscenity...
