To some extent, "police story" has long become a classic feeling, a kind of fans' infinite expectations of Jackie Chan.
Now 35 years after "Police Story 1", Jackie Chan in 1954 is also 66 years old, starting from action drama, he hopes that his film career will continue forever.
"Police Story 2022", produced and starring Jackie Chan, has a total investment of 300 million yuan, and the current release time is undecided, which is also the final chapter of the "Police Story" series.
"Police Story" combines action and comedy elements, Jackie Chan is shooting movies with his life, no special effects and no special effects are keen on one shot to the end, thrilling, exciting, extreme... And the top actress filming jackie Chan's big brother scene is also fatal.
——Police Story 1: Lin Qingxia
In 1985, the first "Police Story" directed by Jackie Chan and starring Jackie Chan, Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung was released.
This film created a precedent for Jackie Chan to "sell his life" to appear in dangerous shots, created the classic police image of "Chen Jiaju", and was also a milestone in Jackie Chan's transition from kung fu boy comedy to modern police hero positioning.
Jackie Chan himself was born as a martial arts stand-in, studied under Yu Zhanyuan since childhood, and laid a martial arts foundation in the Peking Opera class. In the past, Wu Ti became a director, and he used the simplest and most brutal shots to tell the audience that everything was playing for real.
The opening "Village Breaking" operation, the explosion scene of cars rushing down from the wooden shed area, was probably the largest scene of Hong Kong movies at that time.
The track that the car rushed down was even made of wood, and the vehicle lost control, injuring two martial artists.
One of the characteristics of Jackie Chan's films is the use of various common objects as fighting weapons, the use of imagination, what to take, ladders, chairs, pots and pans...
When chasing the villain "Zhu Tao" single-handedly, Jackie Chan's trapeze artist with an umbrella outside the fast-moving bus became a hotly discussed scene in Hollywood at that time.
In the fierce battle between the mall and "Zhu Tao"'s men, whether it is jumping from a high altitude and then falling to the ground, or hitting the glass with his head and breaking the glass, it makes people see the blood boiling and awe-inspiring.
Chan Ka-koo's leap is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous scenes of Jackie Chan's film career and one of the most classic episodes in Hong Kong film history.
Without any protective gear, Jackie Chan jumped to the chandelier in the patio and descended the pole from the height of six or seven floors.
There are small colored lights wrapped around the pole, all of which are electrified; the direct current lamp will be dark, the effect is not good, and it is alternating current; there is glass on the second floor, which is very easy to cut the artery.
During the entire filming period, Jackie Chan was almost paralyzed due to the displacement of the vertebrae and pelvic bone, and 4 people in the Chengjia class were seriously injured and hospitalized.
A lot of glass was used in the shooting, and the glass was even thickened for the effect, so that "Police Story 1" was called "Glass Story" by the crew.
The shot of Lin Qingxia's back falling on the glass, the props are also real real glass.
—Police Story 2: Maggie Cheung
In 1988, the Jackie Chan kung fu of "Police Story 2" was still wonderful, the police and bandit battles were still exciting, and the film won 34.15 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, ranking second in the annual box office list.
"Police Story 2" was called "Bomb Story" by the crew because the setting of the Bomb Bandit used up a lot of gunpowder.
The explosion of the mall at the beginning of the film, the explosion of the chemical factory at the end, and the destruction of the entire building were the largest chemical explosions in the history of world cinema at that time.
The explosion scene at the end of the film is recorded in the history of the film, Chen Jiaju finally rescued his girlfriend Ami -Maggie Cheung, and the exploded fireworks factory is like a fireworks party, which finally makes this love repaired and moving.
In "Police Story 1", Maggie Cheung was scolded and cried by Jackie Chan many times because of her delay in entering the play, and Maggie Cheung, who did not accept defeat, finally filmed more than thirty times until Jackie Chan was satisfied.
It was this refusal to accept defeat that allowed Maggie Cheung to continue to participate in "Police Story 2".
In "Police Story 2", Maggie Cheung is more serious, and in the last abandoned factory scene, she has to run through several steel pipes in the warehouse, she did not use a stand-in, and personally went into battle.
Before filming began, the crew had rehearsed 6 times, and when it came time to officially start shooting, the accident still happened...
Because the "little dumb" Li Qiangquan was slightly stronger in pushing down the iron frame, making the iron frame fall too quickly, Maggie Cheung did not have time to dodge, and the iron frame suddenly smashed on the head.
Maggie Cheung instantly bled into a river, several martial artists went up to help stop the bleeding, and sent her to a nearby hospital in time for more than a dozen stitches, and Maggie Cheung was almost disfigured.
——Police Story 3: Yang Ziqiong In 1992, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili's "Police Story 3" broke the highest box office record in many countries in Southeast Asia, and Jackie Chan won the Golden Horse Award for the first time for this film.
The film covers sea, land, air, gunfights, explosions, punches and kicks, flying cars, crashes, speedboats, helicopters, motorcycles, trains, etc., and almost all the elements of action movies can be seen in "Police Story 3".
The heroine of the film, Yang Ziqiong, in addition to her beauty, also knows kung fu, is diligent and not afraid of hard work, and is an actress who makes many martial artists admire.
When filming the footage of the flying car, the crew gave Yang Ziqiong a feeling of coercion to make a leap, but when the electric car flew up, Yang Ziqiong's foot slammed into the armrest of the electric car, and there was a loud sound of "Peng", Yang Ziqiong squatted down in pain, and her feet were quickly swollen.
During the drag racing scene, Yang Ziqiong fell from the car to the sports car driven by Jackie Chan, and as a result, there was a mistake, Jackie Chan's big brother did not hold her, and Yang Ziqiong fell directly onto the road.
In the tidbit, a martial artist jumped out of the car to save her and fell to the road, and both were seriously injured.
Among all the risks faced by film and television production, the accident of the actor is often the situation that a crew is most afraid of, and it is also the most important reason why the cast insurance is called the necessary insurance for overseas crews.
The film is about art, but the crew is around the creator. The cast includes not only the lead actors, special effects actors, but also the director, producer, main cinematographer, main lighting engineer, main makeup artist, etc., as well as any characters that the crew deems irreplaceable.
