With the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Yang Qian, Hou Zhihui, Sun Yiwen, Shi Tingmao, Wang Han, Li Fabin, Chen Lijun and others have won the championship. More and more netizens began to focus on the "Tokyo Olympic Games" and the schedule of various sports.
Sports, in the long development of human society, have always played a very special role. The charm of "sports" itself also attracts groups of athletes to constantly challenge and break through the limits of human body functions.
On the big screen of the movie, there are many film works with the theme of "sports". The quadrennial Olympic Games often become the "creative material" for film creators to use their imaginations.
In 1987, Yuan Kui led the members of the "Hongjia Class" to plan a "sports theme" action comedy with the background of the "Olympic Games", which is "Full Rebound".

In 1987, why did Yuan Kui have a sudden idea and plan a film work with the "Olympic Games" as the background. The reason behind this also begins with Yuan Kui's Hollywood filming journey in the mid-80s.
In 1985, Wu Siyuan's "Siyuan Pictures" cooperated with the Hollywood "New World Pictures" production company to shoot a kung fu, sports-themed film "Blood Game", with the English title "No Retreat, No Surrender".
Under the strong recommendation of producer Wu Siyuan, Yuan Kui took the director of this "Blood Game".
At first, "Siyuan Pictures" and "New World Pictures" were planning to make a secret agent film about "CIA", but Yuan Kui said that he did not understand "CIA" and did not know how to create such films.
Therefore, under the discussion, the producer focused on the theme of creation on the "kung fu movie" that Yuan Kui was better at.
In North America, Yuan Kui found that "kick boxing" was very popular, so he combined "kung fu elements" with "kickboxing" to create this "Blood Game".
"The Game of Blood" tells the story of "a kickboxer who is frustrated in a competition, after which he passes a kung fu lesson, returns to the field and defeats his opponent". It is worth mentioning that the young Shange Winton also played the role of male number two in this "Blood Game".
After the release of "Blood Game" in North America, it achieved a good box office profit. In 1986, "Jiahe" also hoped to imitate "Blood Game" and try to create a "sports theme" film work on top of the Asian film market.
Yuan Kui, who had some shooting experience, was favored by "Jiahe" and organized and planned this "sports film". And this time, Yuan Kui also relaxed his vision and improved his own pattern in the process of film creation.
In 1988, the 24th Summer Olympics were to be held in Seoul, South Korea (now Seoul). The "Olympic Games" is a film subject with great creative value, and the "taekwondo" in South Korea is also a very distinctive sport.
Therefore, Yuan Kui combined the two key elements of "Olympic Games" and "Taekwondo" to plan the action comedy "Full Bounce". He Guanchang, the big boss of "Jiahe", served as the producer of the film. "Hong Jia Ban" became the main shooting force of this film, and the noon horse of "Hong Jia Ban" also served as an executive producer for the film.

1987's "Full Bounce" focuses the focus of the camera on the Taekwondo event of the Olympic Games.
At the beginning of the film, it is a youth training audition for "Olympic taekwondo fighters". After a fierce competition, Shao Bang, Wang Paul, Huang Sen and others successfully passed the selection and entered the youth training camp.
After joining the "youth training camp", this group of fledgling young people began to get carried away, thinking that they were the future "Olympic champions". After training, they often secretly drink alcohol in the dormitory, and often run to the swimming training ground next door to deceive the girls of the swimming team.
The dormitory administrator "Rhino Skin" (played by Feng Quanfan) is very dissatisfied with the behavior of this group of young people, and often speaks kindly. But the boys ignored them.
In order to restrain the members of these youth teams, the strict coach Meng Hu was arranged in the youth training team. Coach Meng Hu is serious and responsible, but the teaching method is a bit extreme. He often resorted to corporal punishment to punish disobedient players.
Akai of the youth training team could not stand the harshness of Coach Meng, so he had a trick in his heart. Akai told a newspaper about Coach Meng's corporal punishment of the team members. Under the hype of newspapers, the practice of "Coach Meng corporal punishment of team members" has also aroused great public opinion.
In order to calm the storm of public opinion, Coach Meng Hu was temporarily suspended, and the youth training team ushered in an easy-going Coach Zhu. Seeing that Coach Zhu did not have any temper, many players also began to take advantage of the opportunity to be lazy and slack off in training.
In order to test the training results of the youth team, the head coach of the taekwondo team invited a team from South Korea to play a friendly match. After some competition, these members of the youth training team all lost. The ashamed Coach Zhu also chose to resign.
After the loss of the game, the youth team's people drank in the dormitory. Uncle "Rhino skin" told everyone that after drinking a few glasses of wine, they forgot about the failure, what is the difference between this and the mixed life.
Under the guidance of the rhinoceros skin, the members of the youth training team are aware of their problems. They found the previous Coach Meng Hu, apologized to him, and invited Coach Meng to return to the youth team.
Inspired by the enthusiasm of the players, Coach Meng returned to the youth team again. Under the strict training of Coach Meng, the level of the players has also improved rapidly.
In training, the players are very hard. However, in their hearts, they have never been able to get out of their previous failures. In order to adjust the psychological state of the players, Coach Meng Hu once again invited the previous Korean team to compete with the youth team.
In the game, the players won consecutive battles and regained their self-confidence. But this time, they did not fall into a mood of complacency and pride as they did at the beginning, because they had a higher and farther goal, that is, the "Olympic Games".
With these youth trainers defeating the South Korean team, the story of "Full Bounce" also came to an end.

Designing a fight scene in an indoor small scene space has always been the strength of the "Hongjia class". Taekwondo, as an indoor sport, gives "Hong Jia Ban" a chance to fully express himself.
In this "Full Rebound", the martial fingers of the "Hongjiaban" designed and staged a number of wonderful leg fights. Although these fight scenes are distorted compared to the real "taekwondo match" scenes. But the wonderful, cool duel still attracted the attention of a large number of action movie fans.
In addition to the wonderful action scene design, Hong Jiaban's comedy bridge style of "gag" and "bubble girl oil" in the "Five Lucky Stars" series has also been brought to this "Full Rebound".
In the film, the bridge section of the youth training team members who deceived the diving team girls was filled with the consistent "characteristics" of the Hongjia class comedy.
Compared with "Blood Game", this "Full Bounce" has a great level of improvement in both the design of the fight scene and the performance of comedy elements.
However, "Blood Game" received a good response in the North American film market, and this "Full Rebound" failed to achieve too obvious results above the Asian film market.
The market setback of "Full Rebound" has a very close relationship with the background of the era in which the film was born.
In the late 1980s, Jackie Chan-style action cop comedies and Chow Yun-fat-style jianghu hero films have been the mainstream of the Asian box office market. Sports-themed works like "Full Bounce" can be described as a completely niche subject matter under the market environment at that time. The unpopularity of the theme also makes the coldness of box office performance inevitable.
Although "Full Bounce" failed to achieve box office success, it unexpectedly created a good story in the film industry.
In order to restore the youthful state of "sports young generals", "Jiahe" has used many newcomer actors in this "Full Rebound". Zou Zhaolong, who was only 19 years old at the time, also starred in the role of "Shao Bang" in the film through the actor audition.
During the filming of this "Full Rebound", Zou Zhaolong saw the outstanding performance of "Hong Jiaban" in the field of action guidance and came up with the idea of becoming an action director.
After the film, Zou Zhaolong studied with Hong Jinbao, and since then he has embarked on the road of action guidance and officially become a member of the "Hong Family Class".
Under the care of master Hong Jinbao, Zou Zhaolong in the late 80s also gained many opportunities in the film industry. In film works such as "Streets of Fire" and "Vowing not to Forget Love", Zou Zhaolong participated in the filming of the film as the male protagonist.
Unfortunately, the competition in the Hong Kong film market at the end of the 1980s was too fierce, and these works did not make Zou Zhaolong popular.
In the early 1990s, Zou Zhaolong began to be active in various action movies as a villain. And these fierce and resolute villain roles have helped Zou Zhaolong to a turning point in his career.
