After the suspension of "Shaw" in 1987, Run Run Shaw's confidant Fang Yihua founded "Metropolis", which is actually a subsidiary of "Shaw". Zhou Xingchi's "Master Brother Bumps into Ghosts", "Inquisitor", "JiGong", and "Night of the Returning Soul" are all from this company.
Third, the film begins with the judo master wrestling "Black Bear" with the students in front of the curtain, which is the beginning of a typical "Shaw" traditional kung fu film.

Terminator 2
6. A li (zhong liti) has a poster of "Terminator 2" posted on the back of the locker, followed by He Jinyin (played by Zhou Xingchi) also appearing in the shape of the governor that year. However, in terms of body shape, it should be a stand-in.

Man blocks killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha! ”
Gu Juji, Gu Dezhao, Zhou Xingchi

Swatch official website
Fourteen, He Jinyin gave uncle a watch, is indeed "Swatch", can be found on the official website, and now in ebay still have to sell. And then there are the "Armani" glasses, these two naked advertising implants are not offensive because they are reasonable, and can even be said to be excellent success examples.
"Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" Bruce Lee
Fifteen, He Jinyin defeated the black bear and passed through the crowd, this shot is again Star Ye paying tribute to the idol.

White pigeons dance
"Blood And Two Heroes"
Eighteen, in He Jinyin's fantasy, he was shot by Ali, the blood plasma flew wildly, and the white pigeon danced. This is a parody of Wu Yusen's hero film.
Lin Guobin
"I'm not targeting you, I'm talking about all of you here, it's all garbage." The line of the master brother of the broken water flow (played by Lin Guobin) has become a popular meme for many years. Lin Guobin was a member of the Family Class earlier, and because his facial features were similar to Dawn, he was often mistaken.
Wu Mengda, Zhou Xingchi
20. After the battle book, Uncle Da shook hands with He Jinyin and said goodbye. On February 27, 2021, Wu Mengda died of illness at the age of 69. This still was discovered by fans and widely circulated to express his reluctance to Uncle Da and his remembrance of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.

"Suck Me a Kiss"
When the reporter interviewed the master brother, he said that he would only make kung fu films. Although this is just a line, in 1994, Lin Guobin also starred in a "Suck Me a Kiss", which was often ridiculed by fans.
Chen Xinjian
Zheng Shaoqiu
Li Keqin
Twenty-four, compared to the previous "Swatch" and "Armani", the advertisement of "Yuanyuantang Yangyin Pill" was more mad and directly inserted into the duel between He Jinyin and the master brother. This passage satirizes both the flood of advertising in the television industry and the tension. "Wei Yuan Tang Yang Yin Pill" is a local long-established brand in Hong Kong, and perhaps the audience in the Cantonese-speaking area feels more cordial. It is worth mentioning that the original version of this advertisement was Zheng Shaoqiu and Li Keqin, and later Zheng Xinyi also filmed this advertisement.
Zhou Xingchi, Lin Guobin
"Jericho Great Wall"
25. He Jinyin locked the master brother's "Golden Snake Entanglement Sticky Hand", which was adapted by the martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong based on the Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
