The pursuit of eternal life is a human obsession.
In ancient times, the average life expectancy of human beings was only about 30 years old, and 50 years old was even a high lifespan, so there was an allusion to Qin Shi Huang's quest for immortal medicine, and there were stories of Eastern and Western myths such as ginseng fruit and immortal spring.
Even today, when the average life expectancy is 70-80 years old, the pursuit of eternal life is still a dream in the hearts of human beings.
Dreams may not be realized, but this kind of film theme has become the object of our YY, whether it is the ethereal ancient myths and legends, or the elegant and easy-going vampires, or even the ugly-looking zombies, which are our deepest yearnings.
In 1985, Hong Kong zombie movies were already on the decline, but foreign zombie movies were thriving, and one of the R-rated films ,"Live Jumping Corpse", stood out.
What is an R-rated film? This is a rating system developed by the American Film Association, R-rated refers to restricted films, under the age of 17 must be accompanied by parents or guardians to watch, because there are all kinds of erotic, violent, crime and other scenes.
As we all know, China's film censorship is the most stringent in the world, and in the relatively relaxed Hollywood, it is not common for movies to get "R-rated films".
The film revolves around a scientist named Avey, who spends his days working on drugs that bring the dead back to life in Australia, but the drugs have a lot of side effects, and resurrected people lose consciousness and become crazy, and in a research accident, Avey's companion dies, so Avey has to return to Sweden.
Ken Jr. is a graduate of a higher medical school in Sweden, in charge of many privileges, his mentor is named Hill, on the first day of the transfer Avey met these two people, but Avey is very disdainful of Professor Hill, because the other party is copying outdated European medical theories and patting the principal on the ass.
Coincidentally, Ah Wei rented Xiao Ken's house when he rented a house at night, so he directly paid the rent and moved into the basement, although Xiao Ken's girlfriend Xiao Mei was very unhappy, but because Xiao Mei was the principal's daughter, Ah Wei threatened with a complaint.
Xiao Ken and Xiao Mei have a black cat at home, and whenever Xiao Mei arrives, the black cat will always be noisy and noisy, but the day after Ah Wei moved in, the black cat actually disappeared.
Xiaomei searched everywhere, and finally found the body of the black cat in the refrigerator in the basement, Avey was expressionless about it, but blamed them for breaking into the rented room room privately, and the two could not do anything about the cheeky Avey.
That night, Avey's panicked cry came from the basement, and Ken hurried down, only to find the black cat lying on Avey's back and biting him.
When the black cat was killed again, Avey also felt that the basement was not enough to show his hands, so he decided to let Xiao Ken participate in the experiment.
In front of Xiao Ken, he injected a yellow potion into the black cat who had lost some of its organs, and something remarkable happened, the black cat jumped up again, and Xiao Ken was immediately attracted to the "elixir of immortality".
After dawn, Xiao Ken found the principal to explain the experiment, but the principal ignored him and expelled Awe on the spot, and also canceled Xiao Ken's privileges.
However, Ken jr. has been enchanted by the potion, and after he leaves the principal's office, he immediately carries Avey as a corpse to the school morgue to prepare for the experiment.
The target of the two was a burly corpse that had just died, and when the effect of the medicine was produced, Awe xing rushed to think that he would listen to his words, how could the two be directly beaten to death.
When the headmaster heard the news, he was also KO by the burly corpse in an instant, if it were not for Avey destroying the chest cavity of the corpse, there would only be three more corpses in the morgue.
Ave felt that the reason why the resurrection of the corpse was uncontrolled was that the brain death had been too long, he naturally stared at the headmaster's newly dead body, the potion was injected, and the two were subdued again by a move, when Xiaomei walked in, the principal who was the father suddenly ran to the corner of the wall, it seemed that the consciousness was indeed not destroyed.
Professor Hill imprisons the headmaster and promises Xiaomei that he can cure him, implying that Xiaomei will give him a promise, and Xiaomei is naturally unwilling.
In the evening, Professor Hill went to Avey's basement again, and he threatened Avey to hand over the results of the experiment, and Avey also had an idea, and he used a shovel to directly separate him with a shovel while Hel was checking the data.
Originally, Avey felt that the organs of the human body were too wonderful to control consciousness by resurrecting them with potions, so he was ready to inject The potions into Hill's head and body separately to see the effect.
Incredibly, he really succeeded, Professor Hill's head stared at him and scolded him as a bastard viciously, Avey was full of indifference, but he didn't know that Hill's body also moved, and he was stunned at once.
The dissociated Hill simply assembled his body and returned to the morgue, at this time he did not forget to conquer Xiaomei, when the headmaster who was controlled by him brought Xiaomei, a corpse had a lewd thought about the beautiful woman...
At this time, Avey, who woke up, also rushed over, and he taunted Hill that he was not even worthy of a second-rate scientist, because he stole the secret of life and death, but here he engaged in a severed head perverted rendezvous meeting.
Professor Hill's severed head taunted him with a smile, because the only person who had consciousness after his resurrection only needed to turn the whole world into a resurrection person, and his will was the embodiment of the world.
The chaotic struggle begins, the headmaster is awakened by Xiaomei and fights with them, Awei takes advantage of the chaos to inject the professor's body with an excess potion, but in the end he is also replaced by the professor's limit 1 for 1.
Sadly, the beautiful girl Xiaomei was also strangled to death by the resurrected corpse.
In the operating room, when Xiao Ken learned that Xiaomei could not be rescued, he took out the resurrection potion, and when he injected Xiaomei, the movie ended with it.
We don't know if Xiaomei will have consciousness after resurrection, nor do we know what will happen next, which is a standard open-ended ending, but if I were to imagine this ending, I would rather the potion be ineffective against Xiaomei.
Because Xiaomei is not such a pervert as Professor Hill, when she sees her resurrected self, she may have committed suicide, immortality is such a thing, really not everyone needs it.
Strictly speaking, this is a film with human thoughts, first of all, what is the belief of a person to live? Whether this belief is worth working on for thousands or even hundreds of millions of years, it is obvious that even one person to build the Great Wall has a time to finish.
Apart from eternal faith, that is the innate pursuit, what did the uneducated human race pursue in ancient times? If it weren't for violence, if it weren't for lust, when a person gains eternal life, he is very likely to become an evil person, and I'm sorry, but the world doesn't need such a person.
In addition to the thinking of human nature, "Live Jumping Corpse" shows the true color of R-rated films in other aspects, overflowing blood plasma, messy limbs, snow-white carcasses and absurd plots, if it were not for the fact that the special effects at that time were not real enough, this R-rated film may have become a global banned film.
