Yuan De, Yuan Kui, Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Wu, Yuan Bin
As mentioned in the previous article, with the popularity of Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist", all the division brothers of the "Seven Little Blessings" have successively been given the opportunity to play the male lead. The male protagonist to be introduced today is an important member of Hong Jiaban and Hong Jinbao's royal stand-in - Yuan Wu.
Yuanwu
In 1980, Yuanwu starred in the kung fu film "Lost Huo Yuanjia". At that time, Yuanwu had not yet been blessed, and there was still a distance from the body shape of his brother Hong Jinbao, and his appearance was also quite beautiful, and there was no sense of violation of huo Yuanjia as the male protagonist.
Kwon Yong Man
Horn Brother is played by Kwon Young-moon, a taekwondo master from South Korea. He debuted earlier than Hwang Jeong-ri and is the leader of the Korean kung fu master who broke into the Heung River. Because of his fierce appearance, Kwon Yongwen has always played a villain, and this time he starred in Brother Horn, which made people a bit dramatic.
Have you ever seen such a tough Brother Horn?
YuanJu
Yuan Ju, Yuan Qiu
The heroine is Shi Sister Yuanju. Yuan Ju starred in not many movies, except for this film, there is only one "Master Hong Quan" with Liu Jiayong. In 2003, Yuan Ju went to audition for Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu", and as a result, Zhou Xingchi took a fancy to Yuan Qiu, who was accompanied by Yuan Ju behind him.
Huang Zhengli
Huang Zhengli and Quan Yongwen
The main villain is played by Wong Cheng-lee, who has played all over Hong Kong, and his leg competition with Kwon Yongwen is the biggest attraction of this film.
Wang General
Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt, Wang General
Among the supporting characters is Wang General, whose most famous role is Shen Yue, the first master of the Punishment Department in "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt".
Kwon Yong-man, Wang Jiang and Huang Shutang served as martial arts instructors for the film. Huang Shutang was a martial artist from the "Shao" training class, and his master was Tang Jia.
The film tells the story of Japanese samurai led by Huang Zhengli, who come to China to kick and demonstrate and smuggle goods with local squires. In the conflict with the Huo family, both sides were killed and injured. In public and private, the final war is bound to be inevitable...
Wang Sha
Huo Yuanjia's kung fu comes from peeking at the training of his father and brother on the one hand, and from the kung fu skills taught by Mr. Teaching (Wang Sha) on the other hand. Although Mr. Teaching will only talk on paper, what he said is quite reasonable, which makes Huo Yuanjia blessed his soul.
Wang Sha, Yuan Wu
Yuan Wu, Yuan Ju
As a member of the Seven Little Blessings, whether it is Yuanwu or Yuanju, there is nothing to say in terms of action.
Yuan Wu, Huang Zhengli, Quan Yongwen
Father and son joined forces against Huang Zhengli and still lost, and finally won the match point by constantly flipping his heels.
The production of this film is very low, which is tolerable, but there are big problems with the script. Huo Yuanjia is a well-known hero in China and has great influence in the folk, but after watching this film, it seems that he has not seen what chivalrous things the male protagonist has done, from beginning to end is fighting.
Apart from kung fu, Huo Yuanjia had not changed in any other way. This seems to be a major drawback of screenwriting: a protagonist who has not grown up on a spiritual level is difficult for the audience to accept, even if it is only a kung fu film. Family hatred and hatred, children's love, there are too many places to render, but this film does not. Everything is superficial, and it will only give people the impression of fighting fiercely.
The same is true for supporting characters. All of the character behavior seems to be out of touch with normal human logic. They never talk about problems calmly, as soon as they speak, they raise the bar, and when they say two sentences, they have to move, and when they move their hands, they are fierce, and there is no martial virtue to speak of. The third confrontation between Yuanwu and Yuanju is particularly disgusting.
Huo Yuanjia, Liang Jiaren
"The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", Huang Yuanshen
In short, this film can be said to be a failure. Whether it is characters, plots or actions, they are far inferior to Yuan Jiaban's 1982 Liang Jiaren version of "Huo Yuanjia", not to mention Huang Yuanshen's version of the classic TV series "Huo Yuanjia".
Yuan Ju, Yuan Wu
Yuanwu seems to have only this one film starring, which is probably the biggest collection value of this film. Youth does not leave blank, after being such a male protagonist, Yuanwu returned to Hongjiaban and became the behind-the-scenes hero of many action movies.
"Rich Train", Yuan Wu replaced Hong Jinbao
"Strange Tricks and Tricks Five Lucky Stars", Yuan Wu replaced Hong Jinbao
