How great was "Young and Dangerous" back then?

Jet Li is no match, 2 movies will not make it into the top 15

Although the "Young and Dangerous" series has received mixed reviews, it did influence many people and created a Young and Dangerous trend.

"Young and Dangerous" was so great back then. Just talking about the box office, three "Young and Dangerous" movies were released in a row in 1996, all of which entered the top ten of the annual box office list, and together they earned more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

Under the brilliance of "Young and Dangerous", none of Jet Li, Wu Jing, and Tony Leung's movies can compete with it. If you don't believe it, let's watch it together!

1. "Adventure King": box office of HK$13.84 million (box office data from Time.com, the same below) directed by Cheng Xiaodong, which is very different from traditional Jet Li movies. Jet Li is no longer a master or all-around bodyguard, but a novelist.

The whole film is more of a fantasy genre, and the plot is quite creative, and "Once Upon a Time" and "Thirteenth Aunt" are also big selling points.

At the same time, this film lacks close combat with fists and fists, but uses a large number of modern weapons. Although the villains are Zou Zhaolong and Zhou Billy, there are no exciting fights like "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" and "Fist of Heroes".

It's a big pity.

2. "Dark Man": 13.28 million Hong Kong dollars in box office. Produced by Tsui Hark and directed by Li Rengang, it abandoned traditional Hong Kong action films, imitated Hollywood superhero films, and put on an international appearance. It is probably to better cater to foreign audiences and enter the market.

Let’s look at foreign markets, and Jet Li will go to Hollywood two years later.

In fact, except for the special effects, it is not much different from American superheroes, and even Jet Li's cool movements are better.

Nowadays, everyone has watched too many superheroes, and instead miss Jet Li’s previous martial arts films such as "Once Upon a Time in the Sky", "Fang Shiyu" and "New Dragon Inn".

Jet Li's "The King of Adventures" and "Dark Man" ranked 18th and 19th on the annual box office list that year, unable to even crack the top 15.

3. "Stormtroopers: The Streets of Rage": Box office of HK$9.77 million. Personally, I think this is Chen Musheng's best work besides "Love". Although the story is still a traditional police film, it is better in that the plot is smooth and fascinating.

There is no drag at all, and the gun battles and action scenes are also perfect. The scenes are hot enough and the controls are extremely stable.

Finally, there is a strong lineup, with Liu Qingwan, Anthony Wong and Ng Chun-yu joining forces, as well as the villain Yu Rongguang, informant Huang Zihua, and a group of team members with different personalities, such as the stability of Pastor Lin Shangyi, the coldness and stubbornness of Jordan Chan, the cuteness of Li Qihong and Zhang Tat-ming

of cleverness.

4. "Ghost Story Association": a three-part ghost film with a box office of 5.41 million Hong Kong dollars. The three stories are independent of each other and are connected by a "Ghost Story Association". Of course, you can also think of them as four stories. After all, the "Ghost Story Association"

Association” is also scary.

The first one is "Ghost Stories in the Office", in which Gigi Gigi seduces Cheung Tat Ming, which is a highlight, and then "Ghost Stories on Campus" naturally takes place on campus, telling us not to play tricks on people, especially pretending to be ghosts to scare people.

The most interesting one is probably the last one, "The Tenant". Anita Yuen's identity was replaced by Shu Qi. To a certain extent, it's a bit similar to Chung Chung and Fong Chung-xin's "Thrilling". They both tell the story of identity being replaced, but one is

One is caused by ghosts and the other is caused by man.

5. "The Fit in Mong Kok": Box office of HK$4.41 million. If you like "The Birth of a Prefix", don't miss "The Fit in Mong Kok". The two films are similar in structure and have two different plots.

mode, two kinds of life, but the endings both show a strong sense of fate, which perfectly explains what it means that good people do not live long and disasters live for thousands of years.

Wu Zhenyu's neurotic performance has reached the point of perfection. It is completely two different states. In addition, there are two beauties, Li Lizhen and Chen Baolian, to help out. Overall, it is worth watching and not to be missed.

6. "Secretly Love You": 4.17 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Produced and written by Wang Jing, starring Tony Leung and Qiu Shuzhen. It is a standard love story film about Prince Charming and Cinderella. There is no bloody part and it will only make people feel like girls are overflowing.

.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the appearance of the two leading actors. If they are replaced, the flavor may be lost.

7. "Three Injured Policemen": 1.85 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Different from Jackie Chan's "Super Cop" police film, this film focuses on the little people and pays more attention to the portrayal of their hearts. The encounters between police officers in three different positions: Zheng Zeshi, Wang Minde and Lin Xiaofeng.

They are constantly struggling with different things.

The most outstanding one is of course Zheng Zeshi, who portrayed a policeman with a waning hero's life so penetratingly that he deserved to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. He is indeed the fat man who is the best at acting.
