In the 1980s, Jackie Chan also established his own satellite company "Weihe" with the support of He Guanchang, one of the founders of Jiahe Company.
When it comes to its signature work, it is undoubtedly the "Police Story" series: among them, the first part of "Police Story" in 1985 and the "Police Story Sequel" in 1988 have achieved good box office results in Hong Kong, one is the third place in the box office list that year, and the other is the runner-up at the box office that year.
"Police Story 3 Super Cop" was released in 1992, we all know that this year is called "Chow Star Chi Year", many Hong Kong films have been suppressed by the limelight of Xingye, even Jackie Chan is no exception. Even so, this "Super Police" still made it into the top ten of the box office of the year with a box office score of 32.6 million Hong Kong dollars.
The good things about this film are first, from the larger international scenes than the first two films, and the second is that it has newly added the role of Yang Jianhua, a mainland public security officer played by Yang Ziqiong, as a "female desperate sanlang", which makes the "personal heroism" that the series has always emphasized is no longer so monotonous, especially the scene at the end of the film where Yang Ziqiong chases the train on a motorcycle, which also adds a lot of highlights to the action scenes of this film.
Because Yang Ziqiong's performance in the play is very outstanding, so Jiahe and Weihe jointly decided to tailor an independent film for her with Yang Jianhua as the absolute protagonist, this movie, that is, "Super Plan" released in October 1993, the director is also Tang Jili, who directed "Super Police".
Surprisingly, the core of the story that runs through this action movie is actually a love tragedy:
Ah Feng (Yu Rongguang), who works as a security worker, is Ah Hua's (Yang Ziqiong)'s boyfriend, and due to his dissatisfaction with the status quo and the temptation of interests, he decides to follow the former Robe Ze Ah Ju to Hong Kong to "make a fortune".
However, Ah Feng, who arrived in Hong Kong, did not take the right path, but took the risk to cooperate with the bandits.
In broad daylight, they hijacked a company that developed anti-theft systems and took all customer information in an attempt to rob the banks and gold shops that had installed their systems.
The police commander in charge of the case, Uncle Biao (Dong Biao), once again asked Ah Hua to go to Hong Kong to help Ming Sir (Zhou Huajian) and Ah Long (Fan Shaohuang) solve the case, and they followed the vine to find the nest where the bandits were hiding, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides.
In the confusion, Ah Feng recognized Ah Hua, and in order to avoid revealing his true identity, he fled in a hurry.
Ah Hua's appearance made Ah Feng realize that he could not sit still, so he took a preemptive approach and proved that he had always been an "innocent businessman" by taking the initiative to approach Yang Jianhua.
After successfully gaining the trust of Ah Hua and Ming Sir, Ah Feng lied that he could persuade gun king, a robber accomplice who had fallen into the net, to turn into a prosecution witness, in fact, he wanted to secretly rescue him.
With the escape of the Cannon King, this also makes Ah Hua doubt whether Ah Feng is using himself, although Ah Feng swears to her that he has never done anything wrong, and promises that he will do another business, the two can go away and fly away, but Ah Hua's doubts about him are not completely dispelled.
Subsequently, Ah Hua drove to track Ah Feng's whereabouts, but was thrown off by Ah Feng halfway through.
It turned out that Ah Feng's trip was to rob the central bank's treasury, and the mastermind of the robbery was Roger, the designer of the vault gate.
They cut off the bank's telephone lines and surveillance system, leaving the outside world unaware that a gang of bandits was looting inside.
On the other hand, Ming Sir had already investigated Roger's intention to rob the central bank, coupled with various suspicious signs around the bank at the time of the incident, so Ah Hua and Aaron entered the bank from the vent to find out, and sure enough, they ran into bandits armed with heavy firepower, and the two sides launched a gunfight and a fist and foot fight.
However, Ah Feng is only Roger's "substitute ghost": after the robbery is successful, Roger, who wants to swallow all the stolen money, kills Ah Feng and Ah Ju and his party, and when the two are wrestling with the tunnel of the construction vehicle, Roger detonates the bomb and collapses the tunnel.
In order to save Ah Hua and Ming Sir, Ah Feng pushed the two out of the gate, and he himself was flooded by the water, and the love and commitment between him and Ah Hua were all destroyed at this moment. At this time, the melody of Zhou Huajian's classic song "Let Me Rejoice and Make Me Worry" sounded: "Love to the end, covered with water is difficult to harvest, love is leisurely and hate leisurely", which is also very suitable for the scene at this moment.
As a novel of "Super Cop", "Super Plan" still retains the sign of the word "super": its action scenes are hot and fierce, and its commerciality has been carefully calculated, especially its international concept, which is also in line with "Super Police".
The character in the "Police Story" canonical biography, in addition to uncle Biao appearing in this movie, there is also Jackie Chan's "special performance", he plays Chen Jiaju in the play, he was ordered to dress as a woman to go to the gold shop to catch the robbers, but accidentally met another group of thieves, its leader Zeng Zhiwei also appeared in women's clothing, and the scene between the two of them to break each other's identities is very funny and funny.
But what really matters here is Jackie Chan's line that "he is about to be sent to the United States on a mission", which foreshadows the story direction of the next "Police Story 4 Simple Mission".
And the protagonist Yang Ziqiong's performance in the film is still fierce, she is in a scene of playing foreign masters, whether it is the body spinning in the air or the flying kick action is very beautifully completed, there is a scene where she must jump from the ten meters high roof, and the elegant number of her "female Jackie Chan" is indeed not in vain.
However, the editor feels that the most brilliant thing in this play is Yu Rongguang, in fact, the plot of the whole play revolves around the Ah Feng he plays, although his role in the play is a robber, but it is different from the cruel and perverted Fu Guang he later portrayed in "Letter to Daddy", and the arrogant arrogance of the professor in "Stormtrooper's Fury Street", his good and evil, non-facial, from his heart still loves Ah Hua, and there is a little conscience left, this extremely complex role is actually easier to shine.
And Peking Opera Martial Arts, he also showed his keen skills in the film: there are two difficult flips, both of which are completed by Yu Rongguang himself. Under the combined effect of acting skills and wonderful actions, Yu Rongguang turned "away" into his own "home".
Unfortunately, the box office performance of this "Super Plan" is not ideal, only buying 9.33 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking only in the 50th place in the total box office list of the Hong Kong film market in 1993. If there is any flaw in this movie, it is that the plot is still designed to be some assembly line work, and the infighting between the robbers in the robbery of the bank is also a bit "too much", and finally the parting scene of Ah Hua and Ah Feng is also handled more deliberately.
93 is recognized as the "big year of ancient costume martial arts films", and it is not surprising that this film has been suppressed. If you were to put it in today's environment, how much do you think Super Project would have reached at the box office?
