In 2000, I was attracted by the cool poster of the four people in the "Rules" with guns, so I bought a VCD on the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the content of the movie was far more shocking than expected, and the exquisite and fiery gunfights, the strange and soul-destroying soundtrack, the story of the steps and twists and turns, including some people violating the rules to make the grief within the gang disintegrate, are shocking.
Mike, Xiaojun, Ah Xue, and Xiao Q formed a gang team to kill people and rob goods, triggering black eating black and infighting, although it seems commonplace in traditional Hong Kong films, the film directed by gold medal editor Mai Zishan is very exquisite. It's like small fish swimming by, electronic music sounds, and then the subtitles surface, it is very amazing.
At the beginning, from Guan Xiumei's heavy makeup to prepare, the gang leader who was cameoed by Jiang Haowen in another room grabbed the diamond on the back of the prostitute and shouted with it, and used the fragrant drama to attract attention! Then, the long-shot house is full of subordinates, as well as the other gangsters who monitor them, the panorama and details are in full view, and the editing and photography are well-intentioned!
The first assassination and robbery scene, from Guan Xiumei entering the elevator, waiting for the gangsters, to the other three people outside the elevator, inside and outside the joint pulling out weapons to attack, it is very frightening. The four of them attacked with guns in an instant, and solved a group of underworld characters without any false bullets, showing that they were organized, premeditated, and professional and fierce!
Before leaving, the heroine also broke the arm of the deceased to grab the box, which seemed to be a bloody mess, but the four people had no fear, and actually changed their clothes and quietly reunited, instantly retreating in the vast sea of people. Before the title of "Rules of Conduct" appeared, this kind of god-like Hollywood blockbuster opening, the first to grab people.
Although the black-eating black organization deploys precisely every time, it is unfavorable to the past, and the relationship between them is the same party and good friend. It seems to be a perfect robbery and murder, but the police have long paid attention to them, just like the plainclothes policeman who made a cameo appearance of Ou Jintang, who has already reviewed and summarized in the unit, deliberated and studied what they did.
Unsightly business is often a small matter that leads to drawbacks, just like Xiao Q went to buy a luxury car with heavy money in order to please his girlfriend and show off, but almost exposed the source of black money and was beaten by his peers! Wang Tianlin guest-starred as a gangster while eating stinky tofu and talking, revealing the order of the community in the title, even if it is a criminal organization, it must be obeyed.
"The rules stipulate: the first is not allowed to spend money like dirt, the second is not allowed to be arrogant, the third is not allowed to do goldfinger, the three major prohibitions he committed two articles, not brothers are involved brothers" Easy to say, but difficult to do! Just like Little Q, How can Uncle Lin not understand? But in the face of all kinds of temptations and dangerous threats, they have abandoned the bottom line.
The middle part of this film is like a big drama of ethical sadism, and Guan Xiumei plays Ah Jun, which is the most brilliant and steals the camera. Although she is a vicious and fierce female killer in action, usually cold and frosty, she has a crush on Mike, who has a husband. Ah Xue is also silently watching Xiao Jun's joys and sorrows, which also constitutes a sadistic love affair that is still messy.
In fact, Mike has feelings for Arjun, and his virtuous wife is also confused! Just like when Mike quietly added dishes to Arjun at the party, he did not hang up the phone of his infatuated female subordinates once, which directly caused his wife and Arjun to secretly cry bitterly. It's just that he wants to be a good father and a good father, for the sake of overall safety, even if he goes to the bar to sleep with a lady, he doesn't want to touch his partner.
The most indisputable little Q among the killers really caused trouble, he acted preemptively, ran to rob a black boss, wanted someone to set a large carat diamond in a private part of the "pearl", but unexpectedly stole the chicken and became a prisoner, and was forced to betray his accomplices. Others knife down, Little Q cut off his son, and the protagonists were also chased and intercepted.
Nowadays, fierce battles are inevitable, and ambushed gunmen are fighting in the streets, like a dance-like slow motion, cruel and poignant! In a flash of gunfire, the three protagonists are out of the siege! In the fish shop to the seriously injured Arjun finished applying medicine, but unexpectedly the enemy pursuit followed, N fish tanks were beaten everywhere, after the gang and swat police attacked...
The yellow bird catching cicada mantis was behind, and the Flying Tiger team armed with advanced weapons swept several infrared rays in the dark fish shop full of holes, doomed to tragic bad luck. The infatuated Arjun pushed away her sweetheart and blocked the door alone with her flesh and blood, she held up her guns and ammunition and slammed into it, and finally fell a body full of bullet holes, and died...
Since the police can know the den, they must seek revenge on Uncle Lin, who has informed the whistleblower. But the old slippery head don't look at the fat meat a lot, and has spent a lot of money to hire a bunch of foreign masters as bodyguards. They were able to judge the sniper point and then shoot it past, nearly killing Mike. After Xiao Q was killed in infighting, Uncle Lin sent someone to point a gun at Ah Xue's head and throw money to make him retreat.
Looking down on life and death, Mike, despite Ah Xue's obstruction, risked farewell to his family and assassinated Uncle Lin alone. From the sight appearing in the other side's killer gun, to the ten-sided ambush parking lot, the male protagonist can only fight to the death. Even if he was hit by a car and covered in blood, he could listen to the footsteps underground, kill the enemy in the corridor, and kill the foreigners to break through...
The heavily armed Wang Minde broke out of the siege and was killed by the police, but Lin Xue used a piece of stinky tofu to kill the enemy family who gluttonously ate on the side of the road in a second, which showed that everything must be used, can not be impulsive, and revenge must also choose the right way and method. Some criminals have feelings and righteousness, but if they do bad things too high-profile, the surrounding police supervision must be severely punished.
This is my favorite Hong Kong small gunfight film, after all, it uses exquisite details and strong emotions to bring a touch like "Blood And Two Heroes" and "The True Colors of Heroes"! Elements such as fish tanks, sniping at the enemy, and killers being surrounded and suppressed by SWAT officers also have the charm of foreign blockbusters such as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" and "Life and Death Spy Change".
Nowadays, many people from all walks of life have forgotten the sense of rules, and ruan Shisheng, the screenwriter of "Cast Name" and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and Wang Jing, the director of "God of Gamblers" and "Chasing Dragons", co-authored this film has a profound meaning. In the film, the fish that often appear in the tank suggest that the criminals seem to be at ease, but they are always trapped in a limited space, sad and helpless!
Check Hong Kong box office history: 10/06/2000 "Rules of The Road" ($1,972,004)! Such a lost pearl masterpiece, I have only seen it three times in the pirate market so far, and there are DVDs to save, without my extremely fanatical film enthusiasts, this is a romantic and cruel "Rules" and is not known, it is also a classic that has been ignored and forgotten!
Coinciding with the end of the college entrance examination, a "rules of the road" made me obsessed with Shangguan Xiumei, a beautiful woman with kind eyebrows and good intentions, her eyes are like autumn water, and her beauty is moving! She has been in "Rape 4 Final Temptation" and "Thief King", and she has used melancholy and confused eyes to make people move in "Knowing the Law and Breaking the Law", "Black and White Battlefield" and "A Bad Gambling Legend", but she has never been popular.
Maybe there's a sentence in "Movie Duck" that "I heard that sleeping with the director can be the heroine... Where to find those black sheep? "There are some portrayals of her before she retired! "Rules of The Rules" did not allow her to receive an award nomination like "Love You Eight Hours a Day", but arjun, who was hot and angry and sacrificed for love, still moves me to this day!
An episode in the "Rules of The Walk"
Rules, no absolutes
From the dangerous situation to do confirmation, hate love is not expected
The unbearable bearing of the son, who is willing to regret,
Believe it or not,
Rules, no regrets,
No life or death, no resentment!
Classic lines:
"The rules stipulate: the first is not allowed to spend money like dirt, the second is not allowed to be arrogant, the third is not allowed to be a goldfinger, and the three prohibitions he has committed two articles, not brothers but brothers involved."
"I know you want to be relaxed before every action, but do you need to look for girls everywhere?" I'm right in front of you, just open your mouth....... You're torturing me, knowing what I'm thinking. You and I, your wife, everyone knows what happened, you want to maintain this marriage, to put it nicely for the sake of your son JASON, in fact, you are selfish, want to maintain the image of a good father and a good husband! You are pushing me to die now, and you are pushing your wife to die! I remember the last time I called you after eating at your house. Obviously know that I hit it, but you have not been silent, and do not hang the line, why? You can hang up the line and let me die this heart! I hung up the line first, because I didn't want you to hear me crying, I cried very badly, and then the phone rang, I was so happy, I thought it was you who called, I didn't expect there was a woman on the other side of the phone, and I cried for three minutes.
"Mike, can you not go, I am so scared, I have a bad premonition, but I don't know what to say, today is not only our last cooperative action, more likely it is the last time we meet, I really don't want to do this, I know you will not give up your home for me, if you are really an irresponsible man, I don't think I will love you, but I really want to stay with you, wherever you go, take me with you, I can be your partner for the rest of my life, But I don't want to see you, if I really want to separate, I'd rather I leave you, if you think I'm a very stupid woman, can you let this stupid woman stay with you, okay?
