This martial arts film "Hero" written and directed by Wu Yusen was filmed in 1979, forty years ago. From today's point of view, it is inevitably a little rough, but it is the embryonic work of the unfamous Wu Yusen who first revealed his violent aesthetic style.
In 1976, after Wu Yusen's martial arts film "Shaolin Gate" failed at the box office, he had to change direction to make comedies, which was undoubtedly a blow to him who wanted to make a difference in the field of action hero films. Fortunately, three years later, he got another chance to shoot "Hero". Although this film was considered to be a work that followed the trend, in fact, it pinned on Wu Yusen's personal feelings, and it was a work that promoted chivalry, highlighted the love between men and the sacrificial spirit of the soldier who died for the confidant.
The film tells the story of Gao Peng, the young lord of Gaojiazhuang, who was attacked by the enemy Bai Zhongtang on his wedding night. The bride was bribed to stab her. Gao Peng fled to Chen Shigong's house in defeat, and when he learned that the Divine Sword Zhang San was extremely skilled in martial arts and performed heroic deeds, he wanted to use him to avenge himself. Through secret observation, seeing Zhang San'an's poor and happy way, his mother Zhi Xiaoxiao, he deliberately approached him and sent the swordsman An Tianfeng to test his martial arts, and as a result, An Tianfeng was killed by Zhang San for killing innocents indiscriminately. Zhang's mother died, and Gao Peng paid for a generous burial, which made Zhang San grateful, so he repaid the Gao family with his body to avenge the Gao family. Zhang San and the newly acquainted killer Qingyi broke into Bai Zhongtang together, and after a river of sword and light sword shadow blood, they finally killed the enemy leader. Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanyi's bloody retribution was not human, and Gao Peng was also a murderous and bloodthirsty and ambitious traitor...
As a transit, this film inherits Zhang Che's chivalrous core. Later, in the 1980s, Wu Yusen exchanged his sword for a pistol, creating a unique style of Wu Yusen films that combined blood and romance, and also ushered in the golden age of Hong Kong action gunfight movies.
