Brief introduction of film
Following the sensational kung fu film Shaolin Temple, the director led his original team to shoot this film again, and the background was changed to the picturesque Lijiang River, and Huang and other martial arts rookies were invited to join. With a very relaxed and lively narrative style, the film describes the feud between the Long family, who is proficient in Shaolin martial arts and has eight sons, and the Bao family, who is famous for Wudang sword and has eight daughters. After many misunderstandings, the two families finally let Taihō and Erfeng, two sisters, Tianlong and Lumbricus have lovers, and jointly defeated the old enemy vultures who came to seek revenge.
The film was originally named "Dragon and Phoenix Village", starring the original team of Shaolin Temple, and Huang and other martial arts rookies joined. The style of this film is relaxed and lively, the story in the play is well matched with the setting of the environment, and the design of the martial arts scene is very harmonious with the style of the work. The battle between dragons and phoenixes "is not that enemies don't get together" adds a lively and funny atmosphere to the film. The actors' performances are very vivid, with their own characteristics and fighting styles, which makes the film's sense of action very lively and rich, and the dialogue design is very funny, adding a relaxed and funny effect to the film. Compared with some kung fu films with thin content and mediocre style in the same period, Shaolin Kid is more plump and rich. The martial arts design of this film is skillfully matched with the style of the film, and the plot and environment are also very harmonious. The performances of the actors and actresses are more vivid, which makes the film funny and vivid, and it is a good film that appeals to both refined and popular tastes.
In Shaolin Temple, Jet Li fully demonstrated his superb martial arts. His fists, knives, guns, sticks and soft instruments were an eye-opener, and other athletes and coaches also performed well. The film swept away the rigidity and meanness of previous kung fu films, and the story, action, battle scenes, actors' acting skills, love and friendship were all in place, which broke the box office records of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan in one fell swoop and set off a frenzy of Shaolin martial arts and kung fu films in the mainland. Eighteen-year-old Jet Li rose to fame and embarked on a bright road to becoming a screen superstar.
Following the trend is the fashion in Hong Kong film circle. If a movie gets good results, similar movies will follow in a period of time. Two years later, Jet Li and his partner in Shaolin Temple released a comedy Kung Fu film called Shaolin Kid, starring Jet Li and his ex-wife Huang. In addition, the scenery is picturesque, and the narrative style of the film is very relaxed and lively, including young and old Xian Yi, which is more attractive to teenagers.
With the unfinished glory of Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Kid swept Hong Kong, Kowloon and Southeast Asia in one fell swoop, creating new box office achievements. The images of Jet Li and many "Shaolin Boys" are more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
