"Kill the Wolf" comes from the Purple Micro allusion in the I Ching, that is, the Broken Army, the Greedy Wolf, and the Seven Killings of three Stars, and its changes can both create and destroy the beautiful world that belongs to you. As the name suggests, the three words of killing the wolf represent a kind of stirring conflict and tragic fate, and the movie "Kill the Wolf" series takes the meeting of the three stars in the destiny plate as the theme, presenting the human conflict and the difficult to resist and lingering fateful sadness through violent pictures, which is a very exciting, very exciting but also very sentimental movie.

The 2005 Hong Kong film "Kill the Wolf" not only made Zhen Zidan's fame louder, but also let the audience know Wu Jing. It is also a new benchmark in martial arts and kung fu movies, incorporating many masculine and violent aesthetic fighting techniques into the deceitful police gangster genre.

It took ten years for "Kill the Wolf 2" to finally come out, but the plot of the film is not related to the first episode; some people have said that it was a prequel before, but we know that the prequel is also directed by Yip Wai Shin," so "Kill the Wolf 2" In addition to the production team of the first episode, a certain part can be said to be a comeback with the loud name of the first episode; but the plot of the movie also fits the theme of the title, and the Purple Micro Bucket number from China is also a character personality, representing Wu Jing's broken army, Zhang Jin's greedy wolf, Tony Lee's wolf, and Tony Lee's first episode. Jia's seven kills.

Broken army is understood as a character of integrity and perseverance, and short-tempered and impulsive.
When mentioning the three words "kill the wolf", we have to mention the first generation of "killing the wolf" Zhen Zidan. Zhen Zidan is my favorite martial arts actor at present, whether it is a fashion martial arts movie, a costume martial arts movie or a martial arts martial arts movie, he can change freely in it, the current film in the "Ip Man" series for him to perform the best performance in the film, it can also be seen that his acting skills have been improving, from the "Kill the Wolf" in the face of a bit of a poker face to Ip Man is only 4 years, he can fully grasp ip man as a generation of grandmasters should have the style and momentum, such progress is absolutely obvious to all.

And "Fuse" and "Kill the Wolf" as Zhen Zidan's best martial arts movie, because I personally like fashion martial arts movies more than costume martial arts movies, and costume martial arts movies are usually showing the spirit of martial arts, showing you the beauty of Chinese kung fu, while fashion martial arts movies are more popular, compared to the costume of one point less "beauty" but more than one point of "fierce", I personally prefer the latter, of course, there are many bad movies in fashion martial arts movies.

But as a free fighting champion, Zhen Zidan has been very successful in perfectly integrating modern martial arts such as MMA mixed martial arts with Brazilian jiu-jitsu in the movie, and the above two movies are the most successful fashion martial arts movies I have appeared in so far, the focus is that the two plots are good and full of tension, and the amount of the two plots is much more than that of martial arts, "Kill the Wolf" has only two main scenes, and "Fuse" is only one (if you count Shi Yanneng's two scenes), you can barely count two) If their plot is likened to a boulder, their martial arts are like a shock to the stone, which is definitely the top martial arts and the best of the best that martial arts fans must see!
In the movie "Fuse", MMA mixes martial arts such as brazilian jiu-jitsu
The movie "Kill the Wolf 2" at the beginning of the movie is like infernal affairs, Wu Jing played by Zhi Jie in a dangerous environment eventually led to the undercover identity exposure was caught in the Thai prison, it happened to be able to save Achai's daughter is Zhi Jie' two language barriers, can not let things come to fruition so quickly; the villain's power is also extremely strong, so the process has led to a lot of fighting.

I think the fights in the front and middle of the movie are still fair, but it is not very enjoyable, Wu Jing's battle lasts more than 5 minutes, but it is not exciting enough, a little bound by the heavy plot; fortunately, the movie knows how to put the most refreshing bridge section at the end and the venue is also selected in a very bright environment, Wu Jing and Tony Jia fight the character's moves are very clear.
Wu Jing and Tony Jia play a wonderful scene
Wu Jing, like Jet Li, is from the class, the martial arts body is beautiful, needless to say, and because of the relationship between the fashion action movies and the villain, his martial arts often have the fierceness that Jet Li has always been unable to reach, until 2017's "Wolf Warrior 2" made him really popular, and he is still young, hoping that more masterpieces can appear in the future.
Wu Jing wrote and directed his own film "Wolf Warrior 2"
And wu jing starred in many movies, the best martial arts and best film to the "kill the wolf" series should not have too many people have opinions; especially in the "kill the wolf" until the second half of the debut of him, the momentum is extraordinary, but also he opened the curtain for the climax of the whole movie's martial arts, a short massacre will fully show his skills, just a simple killing of individuals can also be so handsome is very impressive, and the second half of the short weapon duel with Zhen Zidan in the dark alley is as mentioned earlier, It is the best of the best, that duel is very short, less than five minutes, but watching the duel between the two people's short knives and throwing sticks is really a cold sweat, the whole duel is very fast, and only the enjoyment can be described.
The movie "Kill the Wolf" is a wonderful duel between Wu Jing and Zhen Zidan
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "wolf" Zhang Jin</h1>
The wolf, who rules over misfortune and desire.
From the movie "Kill the Wolf 2", it can be seen that the martial arts design of each character is different, Muay Thai, Eight Pole Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, etc. In the well-equipped cinema, it is very shocking to watch every punch down the chair will vibrate, and the sound effect of the heavy bass is particularly important. The film also uses a variety of shooting techniques to make the martial arts scene show the extreme aesthetics of the human body, such as close-up and slow motion showing a punch to the face, sweat and saliva spewing wild feeling, and finally flying knife shooting and dodging like a jianghu martial arts film.

The biggest highlight of the movie "Kill the Wolf 2" must be Zhang Jin, who plays the villain. From elementary school martial arts, his martial arts body is not a problem, and he previously performed Ma San in "Generation Grandmaster", and his skills were very good, so he attracted attention.

And when this movie really exploded, people couldn't help but want to say: How do you become so handsome? The body is super beautiful, both elegant and deadly, as the strength of the demon king is too exaggerated, not to mention the martial arts, just the momentum is not good, standing there is not moving, do not have to pose any Pose has a super strong aura, a "I am a master" posture, let people look at it dare not approach him, even fight to wear a suit, cool to no, the jianghu people called "suit thugs", people who watch this movie will fall in love with this role.

When Zhang Jin first appeared, a flying kick attracted the attention of the audience, and finally it was a dozen or two singles to pick out two protagonists. However, the intensity is set too high after all, it will still cause the end to be difficult to close, obviously Zhang Jin, who still has a 100% advantage in the last second, is flattened by two people in the next second, which is really miserable.
Zhang Jin's wonderful performance in "Kill the Wolf 2"
Speaking of action design, there is a scene that impressed me particularly deeply: Zhang Jin was grabbed by the whole person and smashed on the pillar, although it was not smashed in the end, but Zhang Jin did make the action of protecting the head at the moment of being smashed, so that the mistakes in the attack and the real reaction of the characters increased the authenticity of the martial arts of the whole movie, and the attention paid to the small places in the action design was quite admirable.
Two dozen and one can't beat Zhang Jin
It is a pity that when the final battle is held, often a dozen pictures will cut to other places, although this is also a way to drive the plot, but I personally do not like this, after all, the final climactic scene still has to be done in one go to enjoy, the picture has been cut off is always not very happy.
Zhang Jin won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 33rd Hong Kong Film Awards
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "seven kills" Tony Ja</h1>
Seven Kills, translated as Seven Flames, is a gritty and brave star, with the characteristics of rational and independent, charging forward, and adventurous.
Tony Jia looks a bit like a Thai laborer, acting a bit like an idiot, but the explosive, Muay Thai handsome deadly to work seems to be only the eye-catching performance in the movie "Boxer" series.

Tony Jia also belongs to the actual combat faction, he even feels a little harder than Zhen Zidan or Zou Zhaolong, and can also make many wonderful volleys that are not ergonomic, and his movies have new moves, not just those few moves.

The battle scene of the prison riot in the movie "Kill the Wolf 2" can be said to be full of presence, and the shot to the end is very smooth; the situation from upstairs to downstairs Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, Andoni Jia has been captured, plus in order to prevent Wu Jing from contacting the outside world, it is very thrilling to grab the mobile phone in the prison of the big scene.

Wu looked at enough, each scene also has a different style and highlights, called both quality, take the restricted route of this film blood spray is not twisted, there are a few scenes of real pain. Wu Jing and Tony Jia are both very good, not long after the opening came a brief move between the two, although the current situation of the two people have no intention of killing each other, have not yet fought with their lives, but the action design of this section alone has made me sure that this film will not disappoint me, and the subsequent martial arts scene, even if it is not surpassed, as long as it can have the level of this section, then this piece is enough to see.

After a few martial arts, whether it is one-on-one or a bunch of more have their own characteristics, Zheng Baorui's shots are well grasped, a short shot of prison melee in the end brought out the martial arts characteristics of the three protagonists, Tony Jia's posture is not as good as in his heyday when he can make a variety of stunning stagnant actions or continuous skills, but the explosive power of Muay Thai is still not to be underestimated, not just the martial arts body, Tony Jia also showed his want to be a good actor in this movie, There are still a lot of literary dramas and emotional dramas, and it will not be an Oscar-level performance, but he has tried his best to see it.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > take into account both literary drama and martial arts</h1>
The length of the movie "Kill the Wolf 2" is very long in terms of martial arts films, two hours, there are many literary dramas, but it will not be boring, if you are willing to concentrate on watching it, you will even find that this film is not difficult to enter the play, there is no cold scene narrative is also very smooth, it will not be for the sake of martial arts, but use the plot to bring out the martial arts scene very logically, I did not expect that I would like the story of this movie, I originally thought that it was lucky to be able to shoot martial arts well, I did not expect that this film can be both civil and martial arts.
The two actors who are mainly responsible for the literary drama, Ren Dahua and Gu Tianle, are also very good, supporting the parts outside of this martial arts drama.
In the movie "Kill the Wolf 2", Ren Dahua played the wonderful Chen Guohua
In the movie "Kill the Wolf 2", Gu Tianle played The main brain of the reselling human organ group, Hong Wengang
The personality of the police officer performed by Ren Dahua is somewhat impulsive and fiery, but for the things he thinks are right, he does not compromise and does not back down, and for Wu Jing, who is imprisoned, the momentum that even if he fights for his life, he will save him, which is really handsome.

Gu Tianle's villain performance is also very prominent, the appearance is always a suit, the speech is also polite, but in fact, it is a villain who ignores human life, Gu Tianle has this evil feeling to perform, the eyes are particularly good, there is a kind of blindness to everything, in addition to his own life, no one cares about the look in it, and Zhang Jin's villain performance is impressive.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the meaning of the intersection of the three stars</h1>
The plot of the movie "Kill the Wolf 2" itself is actually nothing to do with the previous episode of "Kill the Wolf", although there are two actors wu jing and Ren Dahua, but the role is different. However, the movie "Kill the Wolf 2" is still related to the fate of the three stars of seven kills, broken army, and greedy wolf in numerology, and I think this is one of the reasons why it is so named. The meeting of three stars can destroy and create a beautiful world of your own, which is very extreme.
Movie "Kill the Wolf 2"
The movie "Kill the Wolf" shows us one of the extremes, allowing us to see how the world of this group of people is destroyed, and the whole movie from the tone, the plot all the way to the ending, conveys to the audience a storyline of despair to the unbelievable. The movie "Kill the Wolf 2" is a normal way for Anti-Hong Kong films to often take the bitter route, allowing us to see the hope stirred up by the three-star rendezvous.
