Hello everyone, I'm Hua Tsai. "Burning Island" behind the scenes you do not know the story, Jackie Chan starred in this movie is only to return a human feeling, when Jackie Chan and Luo Wei had a dispute on the contract, when the producer Wang Yu helped Jackie Chan get rid of Luo Wei, for this reason Jackie Chan specially flew back from Spain to participate in the filming of the film, Hong Jinbao was once Wang Yu's classmate, he starred also because of Wang Yu's repeated invitations to take time to shoot. The film has a lineup of luxurious actors, but it chose the wrong director, originally wanted to use Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Hong Jinbao, Leung Ka Fai and other people to join the Hong Kong film market to make a lot of money, but the film in addition to violence, there are not too many commercial highlights, directly affecting the box office revenue, director Zhu Yanping also began to bear the infamy.
Hong Kong before the return of the often stars were forced to make movies, Andy Lau filmed this film is forced, Hua Tsai was popular in Hong Kong that year, the film sold a very good effect, the film manufacturers felt that Andy Lau was very appealing to force Andy Lau to star in the movie, after arriving in Hong Kong, he was pointed at the head and threatened not to leave Hong Kong without finishing the film.
In addition to Andy Lau, there is also Liang Jiahui who was forced to shoot "Lover" in Vietnam because "Burning Island" wanted to make up the shot, he was pointed at by the underworld and returned to the Philippines from Vietnam with a gun, that scene is estimated to be Wang Yu waited until Jackie Chan had a schedule to ask the underworld to escort Liang Jiahui to the local shooting, until the filming was finished, he released Liang Jiahui, because of the visa problem after several tossing and turning before returning to Vietnam to shoot "Lover". Jackie Chan almost died due to an accidental injury during the filming of "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother", so the boss of Jiahe Film Company stipulated that Jackie Chan was not allowed to cut his hair short, nor was he allowed to play a person who would die in the film, but in "Burning Island", he broke this rule, and Nobita played by Jackie Chan was finally shot dead.
The prison boss in the film is played by the film's supervising producer Wang Yu, who is also the One-Armed Knife of the year, and he used the relationship to "invite" Andy Lau and Leung Ka Fai, Wang Yu is the first generation of Zhang Che's disciple, the Hong Kong star who was once before Bruce Lee belonged to Wang Yu's highest paid film, Wang Yu's "One-Armed Knife" became the best screen myth of the year, and then the limelight was taken away by Bruce Lee and then ran to Taiwan to develop. Compared with male stars, female stars can be said to be very difficult at that time, so many female stars will make great sacrifices in order to be able to stand in their positions in the film circle, Zhang Ruizhu is like this, although Zhang Ruizhu, who cameoed as a girl in yellow, has only one shot in the rain, but it is a hit.
"Burning Island" basically stitches together the bridge sections of classic prison films such as "Iron Window Blood", "Prison Storm", "Babylon" and so on, and even the plot of the first half borrows from "Cool Hand Luke", and the second half imitates "Wild Goose Death Squad", which has no characteristics of its own. The protagonist of this movie was originally Liang Jiahui, and then the underworld said that he wanted to add star Wang Yu to find a lot of big-name actors, and even starred in person, and he forced it into a big-name lineup. Jackie Chan flew back from Spain for a few days, and did not even get the script, Zhu Yanping first grabbed the time to shoot him a bunch of materials, and then cut them together, during which it was enough to ensure that Jackie Chan fought with Andy Lau in prison, and finally signed that he was a male one, but the audience was not a fool, and the final box office of the film was only 11.73 million Hong Kong dollars.
Relive the years and still be a classic. What else do you know about the behind-the-scenes knowledge of "Burning Island"? Welcome to leave a message to share.
