Recently, this site first released a series of classic action movies in the golden age of Hollywood, and then released a series of how Hong Kong action movies rose written by Dagong.
So, if you combine these two topics, ask which is the Hong Kong costume action movie that has the greatest influence on Hollywood? It is estimated that the vast majority of people do not know and cannot think of it.
Was it directed by Tsui Hark?
Is it Jet Li starring?
Is it produced by Shaw Brothers?
Is there a Hong Family Class/Family Class Guidance?
......
I'm sorry, but none of the above are not.
This Hong Kong costume action film, which has had a huge impact on Hollywood, has only one element of the golden age of Hong Kong action films, that is:
Yuan Heping Yuan Baye!
This film is "Iron Horse" directed by Yuan Heping!
Did you think of it?
Many viewers may not have even heard of this film.
Yes, that's it. A film that is almost unknown, but it has not been lit in the east and bright in the west, shining all over North America, and its influence has influenced it to this day.
It's like, ask Chinese to name only one Canadian, and many people will say Bethune. But when he really arrived in Canada, Bethune was a stranger that no one knew. There are also questions about the most familiar Russian songs among Chinese, and the most common answer must be "Evening outside Moscow", but this song has long been just a rumor in the eyes of today's Russians.
"Iron Horse" was produced in 1993. Fans who like movies know that it was a super movie year, and movies around the world broke out in this year, and excellent works emerged one after another. Hong Kong, as the Oriental Film Capital, released 234 movies this year, reaching the highest in history. Specific to martial arts/action movies, it has also reached 33.
With so many films crowded in the same year, there will naturally be winners, let's take a look at the top 10 Hong Kong movies at the box office in 1993:
- "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" box office: 40.17 million
- "Happy Events in the Flower Field" box office: 35.48 million
- "New Love" box office: 31.15 million
- "City Hunter" box office: 30.76 million
- "Fang Shiyu" box office: 30.67 million
- "Once Upon a Time 3 The Lion King" box office: 27.46 million
- "Serious Crime Unit" box office: 27.44 million
- "Truant Weilong 3 Dragons in the Year of the Rooster" box office: 25.77 million
- "Fang Shiyu Sequel" box office: 23.01 million
- "East Becomes West" box office: 22.38 million
Among them, except for 2. "Happy Affair in the Flower Field" and 3. "New Love", the rest are all action-related films, which are very Hong Kong characteristics.
There are winners, and there are naturally losers. "Iron Horse" was one of the fiasis of that year, with a box office of only more than 6 million, and it ended miserably.
The full name of "Iron Horse" is "Young Huang Feihong's Iron Horse". In other words, this is a film with the theme of Huang Feihong. However, in 1993, a total of 8 films with the theme of Wong Fei Hung were released in Hong Kong, including the orthodox "Wong Fei Hung 4: The King of Heroes", "Wong Fei Hung: Iron Fighting Centipede" starring Jet Li, who was abducted by Wang Jing and went out, the sequel to the spoof comedy "Wong Fei Hung Laughing Biography" starring Alan Tam "Wong Fei Hung vs. Wong Fei Hung", there is no Wong Fei Hung at all, only Ghost Feet Seven The Gaiden work "Wong Fei Hung Ghost Feet Seven", Zhang Xinyan, who almost became a grandmaster, directed another version of Wong Fei Hung's "The Legend of Shaolin Heroes" (also known as " " Huang Feihong's boy should serve the country"), Yuan Heping and Donnie Yen also filmed a "Heroic Hero: Su Qier" (also known as "Huang Feihong and Su Qier"), and we want to mention "Young Huang Feihong: Iron Horse". Just ask who has so much love, has he been watching Huang Feihong enough?
There are 7 versions of Huang Feihong alone, Zhao Wenzhuo's version, Jet Li's version, Alan Tam's version, Wang Jue's version, Wang Jue's version, Donnie Yen's version, Zeng Simin's version, this is still because Huang Feihong did not appear in Yuan Biao's version of Ghost Feet Qili, if there is, there will probably be a 7th version. Who can stand this? What kind of appetite can digest so many strange Huang Feihong at once, not to mention that there are still bad movies mixed in here.
But the east is not bright and the west is bright, and "Iron Horse" lost money to his grandmother's house in Hong Kong, but when he arrived in the United States, it became the highest-grossing Hong Kong costume action movie outside of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Huo Yuanjia" was already later.
Let's take a look at the top 10 highest-grossing Chinese movies in North America?
- "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" box office: $130 million
- "Hero" box office: $53.71 million
- "The Great Wall" box office: $45.54 million
- "Red Fan Zone" box office: $32.39 million
- "Huo Yuanjia" box office: $24.63 million
- "Rebirth of the Dragon" box office: $22.21 million
- "Kung Fu" box office: $17.1 million
- "New Police Story 3: Super Cop" box office: $16.27 million
- "New Police Story 4: Simple Mission" box office: $15.31 million
- "Young Wong Fei Hung: Iron Horse" box office: $14.69 million
I didn't expect that so many films with the theme of Huang Feihong, and even Jet Li, who is the main protagonist, made a special "Huang Feihong: The Lion of the Western Regions" in order to please American audiences, even this did not cause waves in the hearts of Americans, but this "Iron Horse" ranked among the top ten Chinese films at the North American box office, who would have imagined it?
Considering that most of the top ten movies in the North American box office list of Chinese films are works after 2000, in the works before the millennium, in addition to Jackie Chan's several current fashion action movies, the real classic Hong Kong action movie is only "Iron Horse".
Back to the topic, the Hong Kong costume action film that has the greatest impact on Hollywood is "Iron Horse", who can imagine that it is actually it, is it 99% of Chinese do not know!
Next, let's talk about this "Iron Horse".
First of all, what is the "Iron Horse"? It's a bit confusing to understand the name. In fact, it is very clear in the film that "Iron Horse" means "Iron Monkey", and the English name is more direct, which is "Iron Monkey" (Iron Monkey).
Why did the "monkey" become the "horse"? Let's look at the fifteenth chapter of "Journey to the West":
(Guanyin) Bodhisattva said: I will take you, the bold horse flow, the village fool Akajiri! I tried my best again and again, and I got someone to learn from the scriptures, and told him to save your life, why didn't you come to thank me for the grace of my life, but came to make trouble with me.
Here, Guanyin blamed Sun Wukong, and directly called him "Ma Liu" and "Akajiri", which means "a bold monkey, a stupid red-ass guy from the village". The "Akajiri" in the back is the "red buttocks", and the monkeys are all red buttocks, so it is easy to understand that this refers to the monkeys. Therefore, during the Ming Dynasty, the monkey was already called "Maliu".
Further back, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yanwei compiled "Yunlu Manchao, Volume 5" recorded that "the proverb of the northerners says that Husun is a horse flow". During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was said that the northerners at that time called the monkey (猢狲) Maliu. Therefore, the monkey is Ma Liu, which has been called for a long time, but later changed "Ma Liu" to "Ma Liu".
In the north, the monkey is called "horse flow", and "flow" is supposed to be the result of a mixture of "flow", "slip", and "walk". So far, going out for a walk in the north is called "walking circle" and "walking a walk", and walking with a dog is "walking the dog". In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong was named Bi Ma Wen, who is responsible for walking horses in the heavenly court. In ancient times, horses were strategic materials, raising horses was a big project, and the Song Dynasty set up official positions, including the imperial horse supervisor directly under the imperial court, and the local attribute of the herd department, which was specifically responsible for raising horses, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Bao Zheng, etc. were all officials in the early herding department.
The official position in the Imperial Horse Prison is called the pastoral supervisor, and the corresponding official rank of the herd division is called the pastoral envoy. Then, the person in charge of putting the horses in the corresponding county and township-level horse farms can only be called "horse walking". Avalokiteshvara juxtaposes "bold horse flow" with "village fool Akajiri", that is, a village-level horse herder/horse walker who scolds Sun Monkey. Sun Wukong is the imperial official of the heavenly court, and Guanyin teases him at the village level, and the mockery of him is still quite ruthless. Wu Chengen still knows a lot about word games. In short, calling a monkey a horse is not a very advanced term, it is probably similar to calling a thief a "gentleman on the beam". Is a thief a true gentleman? Obviously not.
As a movie, as early as 1955, Hong Kong films filmed a "Iron Horse Trilogy", starring Cao Dahua and Shi Jian. It's a story about a thief who was in charge of escorting a good horse to a general, but the horse was stolen. In the process of chasing the horse, the iron horse has a friendship with the father and daughter who stole the horse, and the general is a bad guy, so he turns back and goes to steal the general's handsome seal together and pulls him off the horse. The latter two "The Legend of the Iron Horse" and "The Legend of the Iron Horse (Finale)" were directed by director Hu Pengda, who directed 59 films of Kwan Tak Hing's version of Wong Fei Hung, and the trilogy created a small prosperity in the 1950s.
In 1977, Zhang Che's disciple Chen Guantai, as the director and starring, asked Ni Kuang to be the screenwriter and filmed a version of "Iron Horse". This version directly borrows the name of the 1955 version, the story is completely different, in the pen of Ni Kuang, one of the "four great talents of Hong Kong", this version is about the late Qing Dynasty Baicaotang doctor Yang Tianchun practiced medicine to save people during the day, and at night he was covered with his face, calling himself "Iron Monkey", robbing homes and houses, robbing the rich to help the poor, specifically looting the money of the rich and then distributing it to the poor, becoming a big hero in the eyes of the poor. In 2019, there were actually good deeds who filmed another "True and False Iron Horse", and invited Chen Guantai to play "Iron Horse" again, but unfortunately there was no movement.
"Iron Horse", as an IP, can be regarded as staying in the name of chivalry and righteousness.
In 1993, "Young Huang Feihong's Iron Horse" directed by Yuan Heping is actually a remake of Chen Guantai's version, and it mainly tells the story of "Iron Horse" Yang Tianchun. However, in order to rub the super IP of "Huang Feihong", the teenager Huang Feihong was brought in as a supporting role.
In order to be similar to the age of "Iron Horse Liu" Yang Tianchun, this version of "Iron Horse Liu" mainly tells the story of Huang Qiying, one of Huang Feihong's father, one of the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong", so that Yang Tianchun and Huang Qiying formed a CP, and the young Huang Feihong is just an addition.
For the audience, among the 7 Huang Feihong films in 1993, this "Iron Horse" is a typical example of selling dog meat with a sheep's head, with impure motives and swagger, and Huang Feihong is just a supporting role in a supporting role. "Iron Horse" Yang Tianchun is the first male, Huang Qiying is only a supporting role, and Huang Feihong is a supporting role in a supporting role, what is such a young man Huang Feihong not a liar? In this regard, it seems natural that the box office hit the streets.
However, it cannot be said that the taste of "Iron Horse" is not pure. After all, Yuan Heping is still there, and Tsui Hark is also named as a producer.
Who is Yuan Heping, he is not a mortal, and "the world's first martial artist" is not called in vain. The year before, in 1992, "Once Upon a Time 2: Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was Yuan Baye's martial arts instruction, and created a classic fight scene between Jet Li and Donnie Yen. This is also one of the few classic shots before Donnie Yen became famous with "Slaying the Wolf" and "Ip Man".
From "Huang Feihong 2: Men Should Be Self-Improvement" to "Young Huang Feihong's Iron Horse", Yuan Heping has ensured the originality of the action. Moreover, Donnie Yen, who played the villain Nalan Yuanshu in "Huang Feihong 2", also rose to the second male lead in "Iron Horse", playing Huang Qiying. As the founder of "Shadowless Feet", the "Shadowless Feet" in "Iron Horse" is also different from the "Shadowless Feet" in "Once Upon a Time 2", which is more simple and primitive here, no longer a gorgeous aerial kick, but pays more attention to ground leg control and kicking, which is more stable, but the lens effect is also wonderful and beautiful.
As for the male number one "Iron Monkey" Yang Tianchun, it is starring mainland actor Yu Rongguang. During that period, in response to the lack of succession of Hong Kong action actors, Hong Kong behind-the-scenes bigwigs discovered a group of skilled actors from the mainland to develop in Hong Kong, and often appeared in Hong Kong action movies, and they were also highly praised, like Yu Rongguang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wang Jue, Wang Jue, Wu Jing, Wu Yue, Xie Miao, etc., but only Jet Li really came out. Later, Wu Jing became popular, and that was also the credit of "Wolf Warrior" directed by himself after returning to the mainland.
Back to Yu Rongguang, he was a newcomer who was vigorously popular by Tsui Hark at that time, and he also starred in many films in Hong Kong, such as "The Undefeated Comeback of the East", "Letter to Dad", "Domestic Lingling Paint" and other masterpieces. He himself was born in martial arts and has martial arts skills, but unfortunately he failed to become popular.
As for the actor who played the young Huang Feihong in "Iron Horse", he was called Zeng Simin. How do you feel that this name is a girl's name. That's right, Zeng Simin is a little girl, she is Huang Feihong who starred in the reverse series. It is said that when Yuan Heping formed the film cast, he also hollowed out his mind about who would play the role of the teenager Huang Feihong. After all, the title of the film bears the name of "Young Huang Feihong", although Huang Feihong does not have many scenes in the film, but the role it plays is the finishing touch, which is extremely important. As a result, no matter how you look for it, you can't find a suitable actor.
In the end, Yuan Heping accidentally saw Zeng Simin's martial arts performance, so he immediately chose her, and felt that she was very compatible with the role of Huang Feihong in "Iron Horse" in terms of age and martial arts skills, but the gender was not very good, but under the makeup, it felt okay to play a boy, but it was more delicate.
Tsang started learning lion dance at the age of 10 and then switched to wushu at the suggestion of his master dancer, and won the gold medal in the Changquan children's category in the Hong Kong Wushu Age Split. As a result, he was selected by Yuan Baye and starred in Huang Feihong.
However, after this film, Zeng Simin did not choose to continue to seek development in the film industry, but dreamed of becoming a police officer. Later, she also got her wish and became a Hong Kong police officer.
For Donnie Yen, it was more than 10 years before he became the spokesperson of Hong Kong's third-generation action films, and it would be a success after "Slaying the Wolf" and "Ip Man" became popular. When he starred in "Iron Horse", he was just a usual supporting role, and he had a lot of martial arts, and he couldn't even play the leading role. In fact, it is not to blame others for this, but for his own appearance.
Donnie Yen when he was young, his face was biased towards yin owls, evil, and he was very suitable for playing a villain, and his performance as a villain in "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Wong Fei Hung 2: Men should be self-reliant" was very good, and he played the leading role, and his performance in "Wing Chun" and "Jingwumen" was very bad, he couldn't support the wall, and he lacked enough righteousness.
Even in "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Fuse" that made him famous, as the male number one, his aura is also insufficient, and the literary drama can still hold a shelf, once it moves, it will be full of evil spirit, when he Sammo Hung fights, it gives people the feeling that Sammo Hung is the protagonist, and he is on a par with Zou Zhaolong, and he does not have Jet Li's style of a great master at any time.
When "Ip Man" was released in 2008, Donnie Yen was 45 years old, and he was no longer a young actor. Ip Man, played by him, finally has a gentle and elegant feeling, and has the grandmaster style. Even later, when everyone talked about Ip Man, they would think of him, and Tony Leung also played Ip Man, but it was not as good as Donnie Yen's version. At this time, Donnie Yen really got out of the way, and finally grew up as the head of a new generation of Hong Kong action movies.
During the period of "Iron Horse", Huang Qiying played by Donnie Yen, when he appeared on the stage, he obviously had the aura of Nalan Yuanshu on his face, and he felt that he was still the villain in "Huang Feihong 2: Men should be self-reliant". Especially when he doesn't distinguish between good and evil, he doesn't care about indiscriminate, and when he comes up, he has to swear to make up his mind to arrest the "Iron Horse", that kind of state is very similar to a villain, where is there the spirit of a grandmaster. On the contrary, Yu Rongguang, who is more suitable for playing the villain, has a very good temperament of the protagonist in the film, and he is very chivalrous.
This film is also the work of Tsui Hark and Yuan Heping to support newcomers, and they want to praise Yu Rongguang and Donnie Yen. But neither of them could afford it. Because the title of the film hits the teenager Huang Feihong, everyone prefers to watch Huang Feihong instead of Iron Horse Liu, which leads to Yu Rongming being the absolute protagonist, but everyone still sees him as a supporting role, and it is easier to see Huang Feihong's story. And Donnie Yen is hindered by his face, so he can't play Huang Qiying's grandmaster spirit. The performance of both men was disappointing.
Fortunately, Americans have no ideological burden, and they don't have any feelings about the IP of Huang Feihong, so they simply watch the story and action of the film, but they are more accepting and become an instant hit. When "Iron Horse" was released in the United States, Yu Rongguang had already returned to the mainland, and the Americans did not ask him to cooperate. Yuan Heping, who has a team, and Donnie Yen, who understands English, is different, taking root in the United States and opening up a new chapter for their respective careers.
As for the other actors in "Iron Horse Liu", including Ren Shiguan, who plays the villain Yankong Monk, he is also an actor brought over from "Huang Feihong 2: Men Should Be Self-Improvement", and the last person in this film singled out the two masters of Iron Horse Liu and Huang Qiying, showing a strong foundation. The scene of the fire plum blossom pile is quite amazing, and anyone who has seen it will become an immortal youth memory.
There are also prefects played by Huang Zhan, who are lustful and greedy, and they are three points into the wood, which also adds a lot of color to the film.
As for the heroine Wang Jingying, she plays He Xiaolan, the wife of Yang Tianchun, the iron horse, in the film. In the front of the film, when Yang Tianchun was revealed to be the identity of the iron horse, a freehand shot was used, which was quite exciting, only to see that the cool breeze in the film was blowing, blowing up the prescription on the table, Yang Tianchun and He Xiaolan Lingbo walked slightly, Luo shirt fluttered, and the paper flying in the air was in his arms. This picture is full of beauty and creativity, and at the same time, it is explained from the side that Dr. Yang is an iron monkey, and the gentle and elegant He Xiaolan is also a kung fu master.
However, Wang Jingying does not have many overall scenes in the film, and it is still the role of a vase. Later, Wang Jingying also starred in Zhao Wenzhuo's version of the fourteenth aunt in the Wong Fei Hung series. Yes, it's not Aunt Thirteen, because Aunt Thirteen still belongs to Guan Zhilin, and later it was replaced by Shao Meiqi. And Aunt Fourteen only appeared in "Huang Feihong 4: The Wind of the King", and then never appeared again, in the end, she still didn't act well enough, and then there was no more.
In fact, the lineup of "Iron Horse" is strong and weak, because in the golden age of Hong Kong films, there are too many masters. Casts like Yu Rongguang + Donnie Yen were really inconspicuous in 1993.
However, with Yuan Heping, there is no problem with the action scenes at all. In the film, the fight scene between Huang Qiying and the man in black played by Donnie Yen not only has the "Zhen-style" shadowless feet customized by Yuan Heping for Donnie Yen, but also the difficult triple kick in the air, which is Donnie Yen's forte.
It was also because of Yuan Heping that he had the opportunity to make "Iron Horse" be released in the United States and get good results in Chinese films.
Actually, it's a bit of a mistake. Because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in 2000 and became a hit in the United States. So, the profiteers turned out "Iron Horse" from the Hong Kong film library, because this is a work directed by Yuan Heping, which is very conducive to using the east wind of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to promote it. Moreover, in order to release it in the United States, the Americans also moved the scissors, cut out some unnecessary scenes from the original 95-minute film, and then added some background introductions, and made an 85-minute version, which was released in North America in 2001. As a result, under the influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Iron Horse" earned $6 million on its release, ranking 6th in the weekend box office chart in North America, and finally reached $14.69 million at the box office. Converted into Hong Kong dollars, "Iron Horse" is much higher than the 40.17 million of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", which ranked first in the box office list in 1993. Compared with the HK$60.74 million of "Shaolin Football", which was the first Hong Kong movie box office list in 2001, it is also a head higher, which is equivalent to defeating Stephen Chow twice and winning a big victory.
Of course, the success of "Iron Horse" in North America all depends on the influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Similarly, driven by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a trend of Chinese style has been blown in North America, and in those years, "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou has also achieved good box office success in the North American market, ranking second. "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" were all shortlisted for the Oscars that year. Including "Wu Ji" and "Night Banquet", they have won a lot of awards in the West.
As for "Iron Horse", its biggest achievement is not that it has broken into the top 10 at the North American box office. Instead, Yuan Heping and Donnie Yen entered Hollywood.
As the martial arts instructor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yuan Heping used his super-magical action design to feast the eyes of North American audiences, almost blinding the titanium eyes of American devils. The release of "Iron Horse" in North America made Yuan Heping go further in the minds of Americans and completely made him famous.
In Hollywood, Yuan Heping participated in the filming of the "Matrix" trilogy as a martial arts instructor, and designed wonderful fight scenes for Keanu Reeves. The Wachowski brothers, the directors of "The Matrix", also came up with his killer idea, fusing Chinese kung fu and Hollywood special effects to create a new spark. Yuan Heping took six martial artists to join the filming of "The Matrix", and before the start of the show, the actors who participated in the filming were "devil drilled".
In the end, Yuan Heping became a key figure in the success of "The Matrix", and its Chinese kung fu and innovative "bullet time" shocked audiences around the world. Someone once said that if the Oscars have the Best Action Design Award, then Yuan Heping will definitely be able to appear on the Oscars with "The Matrix".
The success of "The Matrix" even changed some of Hollywood's rules, and before Yuan Heping directed "The Matrix", Hollywood did not have the position of martial arts director. Because of the existence of Yuan Heping, Hollywood began to re-examine the significance of the position of martial arts instructor.
The knowledgeable Quentin Tarantino invited Yuan Heping to direct "Kill Bill", and once again designed wonderful fight scenes for this action classic.
In addition, he also contributed wonderful fight scenes to Hollywood's productions of "Breaking Bad", "Danny Wolfhound" and "The King of Kung Fu". Yuan Baye used his own strength to make many Hollywood films marked with a strong mark of Hong Kong action movies.
In "The King of Kung Fu", Yuan Heping boldly mixed elements of various traditional Chinese cultures, and designed distinctive movements in the first fight between Jet Li and Jackie Chan.
Although "The King of Kung Fu" has received mixed reviews from mainland audiences, the film has been praised by many mainstream media overseas. The Boston Globe's film review specifically mentioned Yuen, saying, "He has worked on 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and many other Hong Kong classics, and his work makes you stop breathing, and he uses elegant and impactful martial arts design to transport you to pure rhythm and rhyme." ”
The title of "the world's first martial artist" belongs to Yuan Heping, and it is well deserved.
For Donnie Yen, in fact, he immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 11, and grew up in the United States, has American citizenship, and is naturally extremely fluent in English. Later, after becoming famous, he changed back to Chinese nationality. And with the advantage of language, coupled with growing up in the United States, Donnie Yen has convenient conditions to enter Hollywood because of "Iron Horse".
Although his status is not as good as Yuan Heping, he has also successfully served as a martial arts instructor for a series of Hollywood productions, including "Blade 2", "Storm Raider", "Shura Snow Hime", etc., and starred as an actor in "Shanghai Noon 2: Shanghai Knights", "Highlanders 4: The Ultimate Battle" and other films.
As for the first-line production of films such as "Star Wars Story: Rogue One", "Fast Pursuit 4", "Mulan", "Extreme Agent 3: The Ultimate Return" and other films after becoming famous, this is already a later story, and it needs to be said separately.
Back to "Iron Horse", its story is actually very simple, because there is a 1977 version of "Iron Horse", and it is not a nonsense. It is Yang Tianchun, a doctor who talks about Baicaotang, who practices medicine during the day and chivalry at night. However, robbery is robbery after all, and no matter how you explain it, it is still a crime. As a result, when Huang Qiying, a doctor in Baozhilin, Foshan, Guangdong, came to buy medicinal materials with his son Huang Feihong, he encountered the "Iron Monkey" case and was arrested by the government. Huang Qiying then decided to catch the "iron monkey" and eliminate harm for the people.
As a result, after several dealings, Huang Qiying found that the "Iron Monkey" was not a bad person, but a righteous man, and finally the two joined forces to deal with the rebellious Shaolin monk Yankong. In the process, Huang Feihong also grew up, learned a set of stick techniques from the iron monkey, and kneaded them into his later martial arts.
There is nothing new in this story, and it is even a little absurd, but under Ni Kuang's main pen, it finally did not collapse, and it was quite round. Coupled with Yuan Heping's action scenes, it is even more above the level line. At the very least, it is enough to fool the Americans.
is also after Yuan Heping, including Liu Jialiang, Yuan Kui, Yuan Renxiang, Lin Di'an, Xiong Xinxin, etc., all of whom have been mixed in Hollywood as martial arts instructors, and have contributed wonderful Hong Kong action elements to many films, such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Spider-Man 2", "X-Men", "Very Human Trafficker", "Doom", "Transformers 4", "Raid 2", ......
is still the same sentence, all of this is related to the release of "Iron Horse". Of course, the biggest influence is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", without Ang Lee, there would be nothing later.
It's just that everyone remembers the first place "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Iron Horse" as the second place is less known.
However, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is actually already produced in the United States, and Ang Lee took American money and used the Chinese team, and the film made is no longer a Hong Kong movie. So, back to the title, strictly speaking, the Hong Kong costume action movie that has the greatest influence on Americans is still "Iron Horse".
