Thank you very much for the generous rewards from my friends. Your affirmation of my recommendations and my understanding has always been the motivation for me to persevere. Thank you very much!

Although the global film industry is full of stars, action films, comedies, science fiction films, children's films, superhero films, etc. have all had their moments of glory, but among all genres, treasure-hunting adventure action films are the most scarce resource. It was not until the emergence of "Indiana Jones" that this film genre was officially launched.

Subsequently, the Mummy series and the National Treasure series were short-lived successes in this series. After the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Chinese filmmaker Jackie Chan took a fancy to this type of film and launched"Dragon Brothers" achieved huge box office success and officially opened the "Asian Eagle" series unique to China.

This series even allowed Jackie Chan to dominate the mainland film market after the complete failure of "New Police Story" in 2004 through the "Asian Eagle"'s "borderline" movies - "The Myth", "Chinese Zodiac" and "Kung Fu Yoga".It can be said that the "Eagle" model of adventure + treasure hunting + action + comedy + JACK has become Jackie Chan's most important IP resource, far surpassing "Police Stories" and "Project A".

However, just like Luo Xue's evaluation of "Dragon Brothers" in the previous issue, the story of the movie is simple and deliberate, without a profound core, and there are many bugs. The overall story is extremely twisted. It is a rubbish work that looks extremely exquisite at first glance, but will make you sick if you think about it carefully. This is also the core reason why the film only received a nomination for Best Action Director at the Academy Awards the following year despite its record-breaking box office performance.

So, in 1991, he launched "Asian Eagle Part 2" - "Eagle Project", which he wrote, directed and performed himself.The filming of this film was extremely bumpy. Not only did the budget go seriously over budget, reaching an unprecedented 115 million Hong Kong dollars, but it also caused Jackie Chan to disband the increasingly arrogant "Jackie Chan Stunt Team" in anger.

But the overall quality of "Eagle Project" is extremely high.Luo Xue is willing to rank it after "Shinjuku Incident" as Jackie Chan's third best movie.

"Flying Eagle" is an action movie produced by Golden Harvest Films Limited and Golden Peak Films Limited, written and directed by Jackie Chan, written by Jackie Chan and Tang Jingsheng, and starring Jackie Chan, Cheng Yuling, Steve Tatalia, and Lu Huiguang.It was released in Hong Kong, China on February 7, 1991, and took in 39 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, unfortunately losing to Stephen Chow's "Fight Back to School", ranking second in Hong Kong's annual box office rankings.

But on the global list,This film ranked sixth in the total box office of all Hong Kong films in the 1990s, earning 40 million US dollars, or about 212 million RMB., this was 1991!

From Luoxue's personal perspective, the story of this film is extremely smooth and natural, with a very strong rhythm. The action scenes and comedy scenes in the film have reached the peak of Jackie Chan's films. It presents a good adventure and treasure-hunting story with a more realistic, more interesting and more complex narrative. At the same time,Many of the scenes in the movie can even be seen in The Mummy 8 years later. Whether it is great minds think alike or a tribute to plagiarism, it shows that Project Condor was an extremely successful attempt at storytelling.

therefore,Who agrees or disagrees that Project Flying Eagle beats Mojin: The Lost Legend and The Mummy?

The following is a serious spoiler. For those who haven't seen it, I suggest you watch the show first and then watch Luoxue's recommendation! (For those who don't have the channel, you can click Luoxue on the menu homepage to watch the movie)

1. Amazing story

The biggest problem with Jackie Chan's movies is that they don't have a good story. It can be said that except for a few, the rest of his movies are extremely rubbish in terms of narrative structure and content presentation. However, "Project Eagle" written, directed and starred by Jackie Chan is amazing in terms of story presentation.

The most obvious feature of this film's storyline is that it is complete enough and has a very strong core driving force, which makes all the actions of the protagonists in the movie appear logical and without any stagnation.

For example, because Jackie Chan accepted the mission given by the Count, he found the granddaughter of the German adjutant in the library, saw the photo at her home, and helped her beat the bandits. Naturally, the adjutant's granddaughter was qualified to participate in the action. And because he had the key, he naturally became the target of competition among various forces. In the process, he experienced a big fight in the desert hotel, encountered desert bandits, found the indigenous tribe, found the place where the gold was hidden, and there was an explosion.

The whole story is extremely compact and interconnected throughout, and each story has a very strong logical thrust connecting the stories.

The most typical scene is the two women blowing up the base. It is reckless and funny, but there is a strong logic behind it. For example, after they were forced to separate from Jackie Chan, the surviving guards were unable to go upstairs because of their inconvenience in walking. They were worried about Jack, so they wanted to turn on the lights first, but because there were too many control switches, the wind device was turned on instead. In order to turn off the wind device, they tried again and finally turned on the base's self-destruct device.

All these stories seem funny, but when people are in their environment, they will be as nervous as they are, and it is inevitable to make mistakes.Only then can we discover the interlocking narrative structure of the film.

Moreover, the story is more complicated than all of Jackie Chan's previous films. The film has a linear story of accepting the mission, seizing the key, and meeting the granddaughter in Paris. After the adventure begins, there are also attacks on desert hotels, being captured while camping, resisting the villains, opening the door, defeating the villains and escaping, which greatly enriches the story of the whole film.

At the same time, the foreshadowing details of Jackie Chan's movies are brought to full play in this film.Every shot and every clip in the movie may become a foreshadowing of the next story, forming a very good interaction and enhancing the logic of the movie.

For example, in the holy water treasure hunt at the beginning of the film, Jackie Chan's vest was thought to be just a funny plot, but it turned out to have an extremely important role in the desert drought later on. It was precisely because of the foreshadowing of the vest that the subsequent water grabbing story was so natural and smooth.

In addition, for example, the photos of the adjutant in the granddaughter's home that appeared many times in the early stage can finally find the gold buried place when the whole story is at a stalemate. And here is also the African idol sold by the Japanese girl at the beginning of the movie, which forms a very clever linkage with the turning point at this time, making the logical thrust of the whole movie smooth and natural.

Coupled with the constant action and drama scenes in the story, the rhythm of the whole movie is very brisk.Basically, there is a comedy scene every minute, a small fight scene every 3 minutes, and a big fight scene every 10 minutes, which makes the whole movie extremely exciting.

However, the excellence of this film lies not only in the smoothness of the story and the overall interlocking, but also in the large number of comedy forms with diverse styles in the film, which makes this film extremely exciting.

2. Great comedy

The excellence of "Project Eagle" lies not only in the story itself, but also in Jackie Chan's setting of the comedy plot.It can be said that the comedy scene settings of this film can crush today's "Happy Twist" and are not inferior to Stephen Chow in his peak period.

The comedy forms of this film are extremely diverse, including plot funny, action funny, nonsensical funny, and even contrast funny. It is a film that can be called the epitome of comedy films. Various comedy techniques are used at will, which are extremely prominent in this film, and it also has a more consummate feeling.

For example, when two Palestinian thieves were trying to force the adjutant's granddaughter to reveal the hiding place of the gold, Jackie Chan finally snatched the pistol from them. The two thieves refused to surrender and prepared to commit suicide by swallowing poison. As a result, Jackie Chan covered the mouth of one of them when he was feeding the poison to him, while the other one swallowed it directly. This kind of change and contrast makes people laugh uncontrollably.

For example, in the desert hotel, the unscrupulous boss tried every way to make money. When he encountered the bandits, he did not dare to shoot, but sold the gun to the adjutant's granddaughter. As a result, the granddaughter opened fire and although she drove the robbers away, she left the devastated hotel. The unscrupulous businessman tried every way to make money, but in the end he destroyed his own hotel, forming a very good contrast comedy.

In addition, including pretending to be bitten by a scorpion; putting hands in clothes to pretend there is a gun, but meeting a gangster with a real gun; two stupid Palestinian thieves; a disassembled pistol; a pistol that is stuck and cannot move; three girls fighting a mercenary, etc., all bring a lot of comedy effects to the film.

At the same time, in addition to the funny plot and contrast,The film also makes extensive use of body language in comedy.

On the one hand, Jackie Chan's use of body language is hilarious. For example, when Ada, played by Cheng Yuling, warned her lieutenant's granddaughter Elsa, she made all kinds of weird expressions on her face, achieving a comedic effect through funny expressions. When Jackie Chan pretended to be bitten by a scorpion and died of poisoning, he not only made funny expressions before his death, but also suddenly resurrected after his death, making the whole movie full of such funny body language comedy effects.

On the other hand, while Jackie Chan uses physical comedy, he also uses jokes about women to increase the comedy effect of the entire movie.

For example, when Jackie Chan was at the home of the adjutant's granddaughter Elsa, he hid under the sink and tried his best to block his camera with a bath towel; and he ripped off Elsa's bath towel to deal with two Palestinian thieves (another foreshadowing); and in Aida's room, Elsa was also obsessed with ripping off Aida's bath towel to defeat the thieves, but Jackie Chan was just as busy looking at Aida's figure as the thieves. In this section, including the hotel owner's door-to-door sales and ripping off the bath towel when picking up the key, the female comedy effect of the film reached its peak.

Although there are indeed negative effects of relying on women's bodies to make people laugh, we have to admit that the addition of this kind of plot can indeed make most people laugh.

In addition, Jackie Chan has never stopped exploring the innovation of comedy. He added the most real reactions of human nature, such as dodging bullets and not daring to explore the passage alone. Through this most real contrast of human nature, he achieved a rare comedy effect.

For example, the fight on the high-voltage balance ladder and the final fight in the extremely strong wind.AllsuddenIt shows Jackie Chan's continuous innovation and experimentation in comedy elements, comedy genres, and comedy plots. This is a kind of powerful courage and an unprecedented explosion of thinking.

therefore,From Luoxue's personal point of view, this film's use of comedy elements and comedy logic can surpass Stephen Chow. Jackie Chan is an absolute comedy master.

However, Jackie Chan's comedic talent is often overshadowed by his action talent, so much so that people forget that he is also a super comedy master.

3. Perfect action scenes

Jackie Chan's action scenes are often weakened by the addition of comedy elements, butAs the spokesperson for Hong Kong action movies, the action elements in Jackie Chan's movies are extremely outstanding.

In addition to a large number of fragmented fighting scenes, the chase scenes in this film are also very exciting, and the use of a large number of car stunts highlights the thrill and excitement of this film. At the same time, in this chase scene, we can not only see the shadow of "Project A", but also the prototype of the future "Baby Project" chase scene.

In addition, the most exciting part is the final battle at the Golden Base.The entire 30 minutes were filled with various fights, and apart from being novel, the most terrifying thing about them was the danger.

For example, the battle on the cylindrical container lasts less than 19 seconds and only a few shots flash by. However, when you watch the final footage of the movie, you will find that Jackie Chan was unprotected in all the fighting on top of the container that was more than ten or twenty meters high. When he was forced to the edge of the container, he was really at risk of falling, and if he didn't control it correctly, he would definitely get injured.

At the very least, the injury may be serious, at the worst, the death may occur. It can be said that Jackie Chan is risking his life when shooting action scenes!

Therefore, although Jackie Chan's action style is less fierce and fierce than Jet Li and Donnie Yen,But in terms of risking one's life, no one dared to match him during the heyday of Hong Kong movies. And "Project Condor" is Jackie Chan's most accomplished work.

Overall, the film's story is complex and coherent, with a lot of foreshadowing, a stunning fusion of many funny elements, and a lot of creative action scenes, all of which make "Flying Eagle Project" one of the best action films in Hong Kong in the 1990s. It should not even be lower than 8.3 points.
