Hong Kong movies in recent years have always brought us some surprises.

When we feel that Hong Kong films have declined, it will not take long for a work with high box office results to be born, and sometimes one or two films with a very good reputation and can even be passed on to the classics. Like "Cold War", "Equator", "Anti-Drug 2" and "Angry Serious Case", etc., are Hong Kong movies that have done these things.

And when we feel that Hong Kong films are good again, for more than a year, dozens of Hong Kong movies have become bad movies in the audience's mouth, and none of these Hong Kong movies that are regarded as bad movies have created relatively considerable box office results. Like "When the Wind Rises Again", "Off the Internet", "Anti-Drug 3" and "Sneaking", etc., the reputation is very poor, and the box office is not ideal.

Because for more than a year, dozens of Hong Kong films have failed to create a relatively impressive box office result in the Chinese mainland market, and their reputation is also very poor. So at this time, some people said: "The current Hong Kong movies are dead".

But when we completely lost confidence in Hong Kong films, and even thought that Hong Kong movies were "dead", suddenly another Hong Kong film with excellent box office performance and good reputation appeared, which was "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", which was officially released on May 1st this year.

During the screening period before the official release, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" showed a strong box office harvest. After its official release, its daily box office performance was also very stable, with more than 50 million yuan per day, and the cumulative total box office in four days has exceeded 300 million yuan.

At this time, Sammo Hung, one of the leading actors in the film and the only one with real kung fu, should have begun to "understand" Stephen Chow at that time.

From some perspectives, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is very similar to "Kung Fu" directed and acted by Stephen Chow.

In the movie "Kung Fu", the only filming location for the "Pure Land" Pingcheng Walled City is the Kowloon Walled City, and both movies are kung fu movies.

There is also the most exciting fight scene in the movie "Kung Fu" in Pingcheng Walled, where there are many masters, fried hawkers, tailors, coolies, and charter men and charter women, etc., are all first-class masters, they broke their hidden identities in order to protect the peace of Pingcheng Walled. finally led to the real master Ah Xing (played by Stephen Chow), and his final battle with the Huoyun Evil God is the most exciting part of the film.

Audiences who know something about the movie "Kung Fu" should know that Sammo Hung used to be one of the martial arts instructors of this film. The fight scene between the three masters and the Battle Axe Gang in the movie was personally directed by Sammo Hung himself.

However, in the later period, because of the disagreement between Sammo Hung and Stephen Chow's action concept, Sammo Hung himself withdrew halfway, and Sammo Hung even had some complaints about Stephen Chow at that time.

Now that "Kowloon Walled City", which is very similar to "Kung Fu", has been a great success, Sammo Hung should have dissipated his complaints about Stephen Chow, and he may really "understand" Stephen Chow at that time at this moment. Stephen Chow is indeed an amazing film director and actor.
