Among so many versions of "Journey to the West", if there is one version that can be "compared" with the 86 version of "Journey to the West", it is undoubtedly Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West".
Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West" is a costume mythological drama released in 1996, which gives people a new feeling both in terms of plot and character setting.
The "Monkey King" played by Zhang Weijian in the play is very chic and decisive, which perfectly reflects the "Monkey King" in people's hearts, and the "Tang Seng" played by Jiang Hua is even more praised.
Not only that, but this drama also adds a lot of nonsensical funny elements, so that the audience can feel the humor while enjoying the plot.
But even though the overall production of Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West" is very good, it still can't avoid some goofs, so let the editor lead you to appreciate these goofs.
"The lines in Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West" are worn by goofs"
In this clip in the play, Hong Feihu, the general of the daughter country in the camera, was unfortunately seriously injured during the battle, and his life was in danger.
Although the imperial doctor's medical skills are very clever, after taking a look at Hong Feihu's injury, she still said that she was incurable, and then handed over to the king of her daughter's country to deal with the aftermath.
Hearing this, the king of the daughter country was immediately grief-stricken, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
This is an obvious goof, you must know that the background time of "Journey to the West" is the Tang Dynasty, and "Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat" is Wen Tianxiang's famous sentence, it is worth noting that Wen Tianxiang is from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty before the Southern Song Dynasty, is it possible that Hong Feihu traveled back?
In another clip in the play, in the shot, Sun Wukong came to his Huaguo Mountain, and when he saw that the villages below the mountain were flooded, he was immediately angry, and then found the local land father-in-law to ask the reason.
Seeing this situation, the father-in-law of the land was reluctant to disclose it at first, and finally under the repeated questioning of Sun Wukong, he only then told the reason, and the father-in-law of the land said that it was the Ruyi golden hoop stick of Dayu to control the water in order to find the master, so it caused the flood to break out.
Director, are you serious? You must know that at that time, the golden hoop stick didn't seem to know Sun Wukong, if I'm not mistaken, at that time, Ruyi's golden hoop stick should be called Dinghaishen Needle, right?
There is also this clip in the play, in the camera, Zhu Bajie is still Marshal Tianpeng in the heavenly court, when he saw Chang'e for the first time, he fell in love with her deeply, but unfortunately Chang'e was still with Wu Gang at this time.
Seeing this scene, Marshal Tianpeng was very jealous of Wu Gang, so he excluded him everywhere, but coincidentally, this matter later reached the ears of the Jade Emperor, and after the Jade Emperor learned of this, he imprisoned Wu Gang and Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace, and Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal world and became a mortal.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Gang and Chang'e went to Guanghan Palace hand in hand, and Marshal Tianpeng, who was about to be demoted to the mortal world, saw this scene, and his heart was suddenly twisted, looking at the back of the two leaving, he said with emotion, "Since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and empty hatred, and this hatred is endless."
After saying these words, Marshal Tianpeng hugged the soldiers on the side and cried bitterly, but everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that "since ancient times, amorous and ruthless" is a poem by Shi Qingxi of the Qing Dynasty, and "This hatred is endless" is Bai Junyi's poem, which is another obvious dynastic goof, because the background dynasty in the play is the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, in another clip in the play, Tang Seng and his apprentices passed by Che Chi Guo on the way to learn the scriptures, and after the three monster mages of Che Chi Guo learned the news, they asked the king to arrest the four people, and also said that they wanted to try spells with Sun Wukong, what we need to pay attention to here is.
Sun Wukong looked at the appearance of the three of them swearing, and agreed on the spot, and then the two sides started the first round of the competition, that is, to summon a strong wind, only to see a monster mage after shouting a few words, and then summoned a gust of wind.
Seeing this situation, Sun Wukong flew directly out of his body to the sky, ready to see what was going on, when he flipped into the clouds with a fight, he happened to see Granny Feng was helping the monster, seeing this scene, Sun Wukong directly reprimanded her, here we need to pay attention to the fact that Sun Wukong is wearing a tight hoop on his head.
But what is unexpected is that when the camera switches to another perspective, the golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head actually disappeared at this moment, director, are you serious? Isn't the golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head impossible to take off.
This is not over, after Sun Wukong dissuaded Granny Feng from helping the monsters, he directly launched the next competition with the three monsters, that is, to be able to ask for rain in a short time.
Because Sun Wukong had already discussed with the Dragon King and Lei Zhenzi before the competition, with his order, the sky not only rained heavily, but also flashed dazzling lightning.
Over time, everyone on the scene was soaked in rain, and when the camera cuts to the three yokai, we can see that they are all drenched as well.
However, what is shocking is that when the king of the Tiger Spirit Dynasty asked for the next game after the heavy rain stopped, he noticed that the clothes on his body actually dried out instantly, and this goof shot is probably not noticed by the director when he was shooting.
After experiencing the first two competitions, Sun Wukong and the sheep spirit started the last competition, that is, the cold ice pool to see who could make the weather cold in an instant, and the sheep spirit successfully made the weather cold.
Seeing this situation, Sun Wukong immediately flew out of his body to heaven to question the Dragon King of the West Sea, for which the Dragon King of the West Sea first appeased Sun Wukong's emotions, and then said: "The east belongs to wood, the north is water, and the south is gold, so what does the west belong to."
Although the Dragon King of the West Sea talks about the Tao, it is actually an obvious goof, because in the Bagua Array, the south is for fire, and the west is for gold, so everyone here can know the reason at a glance.
Although Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West" is not the most classic version, there is no doubt that it is definitely the best-looking version, and it is also the childhood memory of a generation.
As for the goofs in Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West", I don't know how many you found when you watched it?
