Are there any good traditional martial arts movies?

Different from the directors of literary films such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, some commercial films lost their reputation because their stories were too obscure or their forms of expression exceeded those of similar films at that time.

Some films regarded as classics were not sold at the beginning of their release.

These films, which were rated as "bad films" because of box office or advanced consciousness, were rehabilitated by many fans a few years later.

The most classic is A Chinese Odyssey, which is now on the altar. The loss of more than 20 million in that year directly bankrupted Stephen Chow Cai Xing Film Company.

Chen Kaige's "The Promise" was criticized by many audiences as boring because of too much stream of consciousness, but now many people have reversed their convictions.

Let the fork take you back to those movies that failed at the box office because of the schedule, actors and other factors and were rated as bad movies.

Now it is regarded as a classic 10 Chinese film. See if there are any movies you know on the list:

Reason for listing: Tsui Hark's painstaking works, movie times and war scenes are grand enough, but they didn't please the audience because of the Vietnamese background.

Although advertised as a sequel to The True Color of Heroes, Song of the Sunset has nothing to do with the first two plots.

As an overseas Chinese in Vietnam, Tsui Hark hopes to film his unfortunate experience in Vietnam.

At first, Tsui Hark found a good friend John Woo, but John Woo felt that this theme would not be welcomed by the market. Tsui Hark can only direct himself.

Unfortunately, Tsui Hark's mistake was to name the story Hero 3 for the box office, although he found the soul figure Chow Yun Fat and continued the name "Mark".

However, the audience did not see the related stories of the Song brothers and Mark in the first two films.

This behavior of selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head has been resisted by many fans.

If we put aside the stunt of the hero's sequel, the appreciation of Song of the Sunset is still extremely high.

There were fierce gun battles and big scenes of war, and Tsui Hark even found heavy equipment such as tanks.

The war has displaced people, and people are teetering in troubled times.

The love triangle between Tony Leung Ka Fai, Chow Yun Fat and Anita Mui makes this film a representative of classic Hong Kong films.

Anita Mui's Song of the Sunset is widely sung.

Song of the Sunset was delayed by its name and became a classic case of wrong marketing.

Reason for being on the list: Xiaogang Feng's most thoughtful work, in which the protagonist suffered various tortures and failed at the box office because of the wrong schedule.

In the public's cognition, Xiaogang Feng seems to have become a professional in New Year's comedy.

Although Huayi Brothers has made enough money with films such as A, B, D and Endless, Xiaogang Feng has been trying to shoot some in-depth works.

Xiaogang Feng's adaptation of 1942, based on the real events of drought in Henan province, is undoubtedly his most attentive work.

Zhang Guoli, Chen, Li, Zhang Hanyu and many other stars starred. A year-long shooting cycle.

In order to restore the hunger and cold of the refugees at that time, the actors were even more hungry and suffered a lot.

The wrong schedule was chosen, so that the heavy "1942" did not take full advantage.

Audiences prefer to watch light comedies. "1942" invested 200 million yuan and only earned 300 million box office. According to the rate of return of 1 3, it must be blood loss.

Stimulated by "1942", Xiaogang Feng returned to his old job the following year and made a "Private Custom" with poor reputation but good box office.

Reason for being on the list: The special effects ceiling, a China film which is regarded as the most suitable for Xian Xia's novel temperament, was a fiasco at the box office because of its obscurity.

Even now, the fork fork still thinks that Biography of Shushan is the ceiling of China's special effects.

As the first special effects blockbuster in China in 2 1 century, The Story of Shushan created the Xian Xia world in most people's mind with 80 million yuan.

All kinds of artifacts in the film are amazing, such as the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel of Kunlun School, the feathered dragon chop of Dan Chenzi, the lightning double sword of Emei School, the fire left by Nanming and the Haotian Mirror.

Actually, Tsui Hark filmed "Shushan: The New Swordsman of Shushan" as early as 1983. With the participation of actors such as Adam Cheng, Brigitte Lin and Yuan Biao, Tsui Hark gained a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry.

Seeing that the special effects blockbuster Liu Weiqiang's "Fengyun Tianxia" earned a lot of money, Tsui Hark is also going to put the story of "Shushan" on the screen again.

Ekin Cheng, Sammo Hung, Louis Koo, Cecilia Cheung, Jason Wu and Lin Xilei are all playing basketball.

The visual wonders of the film are one after another, which is overwhelming.

The audience really realized what "Wan Li is in the sky, but firm but gentle is separated from autumn".

The drama of fighting hunger in Kunlun, Emei and Wutai Mountain is very thrilling.

Because "Biography of Shushan" pays too much attention to visual effects, the logic of the story is foggy, and many viewers say they can't understand it.

In addition, the special effects are very lively, and the appearance of each role is lacking, which directly leads to the failure of the actors' acting skills.

All kinds of elements directly lead to the collapse of movie word of mouth. The investment of 80 million won the box office of 30 million.

In fact, if Tsui Hark had made Biography of Shushan into a trilogy at that time, it might have supplemented the shortcomings in the film.

However, from any angle, Biography of Shushan is a milestone of China's film special effects.

Reason for listing:/kloc-the best martial arts film in 0/5 years, which caused bad reviews due to excessive consumption of John Woo, 1 10000 people scored high.

Even now, many fans still regard sword rain as the best martial arts movie in 15 years.

Considering that director Chao-Bin Su is not well-known in mainland China, John Woo's production was the main selling point in the initial stage of the publicity of Sword Rain.

It's a pity that Xiao He succeeded and I failed. Fans didn't find any aesthetic violence of John Woo in this film.

As a result, the word-of-mouth polarization of this film is serious.

In addition, it happened to meet Di Renjie's Paradise Empire with a more luxurious cast at the same time.

The final investment of 85 million "Sword Rain" only won 80 million box office, which is a typical blood loss.

In fact, the works directed by Chao-Bin Su have always been of high quality.

Chao-Bin Su wrote Eyes, which is regarded as the ceiling of China horror film after one thousand years, and fine silk.

The in-depth study of China culture is the characteristic of director Chao-Bin Su.

The weapon in the film is novel in shape;

The water-broken sword in the heroine's hand, the serrated swords of different lengths in the hero's hand, and the double knives of the colorful dramatist can burn flames, which is refreshing.

In addition to the film's confusion about the heroine's withdrawal from the rivers and lakes in the drizzle, there are also frequent golden sentences in the film.

Lu Zhu, a martial arts wizard, said, "I would like to be a stone bridge, where the wind blows for 500 years, the sun shines for 500 years and the rain rains for 500 years".

Zhang Renfeng, who was caught by Blackstone, disguised himself as Jiang Asheng in the second half of the film, while sharpening his knife and protecting his wife Mao Mao Yu, which was the most handsome moment to save the scene.

There are rivers and lakes, grievances and action scenes. Jian Yu presents people's yearning for the world of martial arts in a freehand way.

Even now, more than 1 10000 people have given this film high marks, which shows the high quality.

Reasons for being on the list: experimental martial arts movies, Chiu Man-Cheuk's representative works, and novel and cool martial arts design.

Different from other gentle martial arts films, the tone of Knife is extremely wild and perverse.

Chiu Man-Cheuk has always been regarded as the second Jet Li, but this film has become a watershed for him and his role positioning.

While paying tribute to the classic one-armed knife technique of Shao's martial arts, Tsui Hark also asked Chiu Man-Cheuk to practice the one-armed knife technique in the film.

Both the villain horse thief played by Xiong Xinxin and other Jianghu people like Shan Ye's headstrong husband.

Tsui Hark slowly tells the story of the emotional entanglements and river's lake grievances between the female host and Ding 'an and Tietou, disciples of the casting knife factory, adding a sense of vicissitudes.

It is precisely because this film is so experimental that many viewers find it difficult to accept this style.

Therefore, the word-of-mouth polarization of the film is extremely serious, and the final box office is only 3.3 million.

But now more and more fans have found the masculine charm under the rough lens of the knife.

Reason for listing: Jet Li, Chingmy Yau and Sharla Cheung all-star cast, the world's darkest Zhang Wuji, the sequel plan was shelved due to the dismal box office.

It's still very enjoyable to look back at "The Demon Master of the Dragon Slayer".

Jing Wong showed his wild imagination in this film.

"My fighting capacity is only 6,000, and he is at least 10,000."

The salty and wretched Huashan parents call themselves "Red Cross Society", and other bridges burst into laughter.

Thanks to Jet Li's solid martial arts skills, both "The Legend of Taiji" and "The Great Move of Gankun" showed great appreciation.

Chingmy Yau, Sharla Cheung, Gigi Lai, Sammo Hung and Wu Zhenyu. Just right.

Looking back at the white horse in Sharla Cheung, Chingmy Yau's surprise became the best memory of many audiences at that time.

In view of Zhang Wuji's indecision in the original work, Jing Wong made a drastic adaptation.

Zhang Wuji, played by Jet Li, is dark and resourceful, with mysterious palms, and always wants to avenge his parents.

But it is such a martial arts giant with an investment of 50 million yuan and many stars, but it has only won more than10 million box office.

It seems difficult for the audience to accept the meaningless magic change in The Demon Lord. At that time, the Hong Kong film industry was in an uproar.

Jet Li, who starred in the film, was in the mainland at that time, and due to other factors, the sequel plan of "The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Feelings" was temporarily put on hold.

In the Spring Festival of 2022, Jing Wong finally fulfilled his promise 30 years later, and brought a sequel to "The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Feelings", but the audience who had been expecting to see Zhang Wuji go to the metropolis had already grown up.

The original team has already transformed, and the "Eternal Dragon Slayer" logged into the network has also received bad reviews.

The Demon Master of Dragon Slayer is more like the audience's memory of the good times of Hong Kong films, which goes beyond the simple category of a commercial film.

Reason for being on the list: The China action film "The Ceiling", the strongest film in Jet Li, has a fighting design that can be called a textbook.

To judge Jet Li's best works, Fork Fork must be the first to promote Hero of Jason Wu.

As Bruce Lee's Wu Jingmen, Zhu Yu is the first, and as a remake of Jason Wu Hero, its reputation is no less than the former, which is a miracle in itself.

As a fictional character, Jet Li will study in Japan and then return to China to show the audience the complicated mental journey of Zhen Chen's revenge for his teacher Huo Yuanjia.

The power struggle of Jingwumen and China people's hatred for his girlfriend Photon have expanded the complexity of the story and fully demonstrated the panic in troubled times of the Republic of China.

The essence of Hero of Jason Wu lies in the perfect combination of literary drama and martial arts drama, which will not make the audience feel "fighting for the sake of fighting".
