Kung Fu Zhou Xingchi's Classic Scenes and Shot Analysis

Answer 1

The following are some of the classic clips and shots from Kung Fu:

* * 1. Pieces related to Pig Cage Village **
1. * * Scene Construction Shot **
- The panoramic view of Zhulong Village was very meaningful. The Walled City was the epitome of the Walled City of Nine Dragons that Star Ye had lived in his childhood. From the panoramic view, it showed the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of the city despite its poverty. There were many experts living here. It seemed ordinary, but it hid many secrets that no one knew.
- When Xing and Bone entered Zhulong Village, the camera cut to the daily life of the residents in the village. The quick cut not only showed the life of the residents in the village, but also paved the way for the masters who were about to appear.
2. * * Expert appearance scene **
- Shaolin's Twelve Tan Kick Labourers appeared. They carried many gunny sacks on their backs and rolled up a gunny sack with their feet after taking the Horse Stance. The close-up shot highlighted his solid lower body martial arts.
- When the successor of the Hong Family's Iron Thread Fist (Tailor) appeared, his skill could be seen in his daily sewing work. When Wulang's Eight Trigrams Stick made Zhusheng Noodles, he held a bamboo tube to press the bread instead of sitting on it as usual. This scene showed that his internal strength was deep. Moreover, the order in which these three masters appeared hinted at the order of their death. The order from low to high martial arts corresponded to the order in which they encountered danger.

* * 2. Scenes related to the landlady and the landlady **
1. * * Landlady Downstairs Shot **
- When the sauce exploded and there was no water in the shower, the landlady angrily went downstairs to curse. It took only a second to walk from the second floor to the first floor at a normal speed, but it took only a second to get out of the house and up the stairs. This scene hinted that the landlady was an expert and had the skill of "scud." This skill was used many times in the later scenes, such as when Brother Chen found the stockade, when he chased Ah Xing, and when he saved Ah Xing from the hands of the Fire Cloud Evil God.
2. * * Landlord gets beaten up **
- The landlord was thrown down the building by the landlady, but he didn't die from smashing the flower pot. At first glance, this scene might seem exaggerated, but it actually hinted that he used the Tai Chi's "unloading force" technique. The reactions of the people around him were like Jiang Bao stabbing him with a stick, which further reflected the realism of this scene.
3. * * Landlady saving people **
- When the Axe Gang had invaded and captured a mother and daughter to light the sky lanterns, the landlady had saved them with the Lion's Roar. This not only reflected her style as an expert, but also showed her chivalrous heart and kindness. At the same time, it also echoed with the fact that she had allowed the coolies to not pay rent for a few months and only scolded them to vent their anger. It showed that she was not "rich and heartless".

* * 3. A Xing's growth related clips **
1. * * A Xing was beaten up **
- The scene of Xing being beaten to death by the Fire Cloud Evil God and being rescued by the landlord and the landlady foreshadowed the speculation that Xing was the son of the landlord and the landlady.
2. * * A Xing and Fire Cloud Evil God duel scene **
- Xing's final match against the Fire Cloud Evil God was a tribute to Bruce Lee's black pants and white vest. In the process of fighting, his growth and transformation were vividly reflected. He gradually became a martial arts master from a little punk. The rhythm of the entire fighting scene was tight and the reversal was wonderful, attracting the audience's attention.

* * 4. Salute related clips **
1. * * Opening scene of the movie **
- The words that the leader of the Crocodile Gang casually said when he walked out of the police station were a complaint about the dismal box office sales of the Chinese movies in the early 2000s.

3. * * Buddha's Palm Shot **
- Xing used the Buddha's Palm of the Fire Cloud Evil God to fight against the Fire Cloud Evil God. This was a tribute to the 1982 movie.

4. * * Landlady Threatening Shot **
- When the landlady threatened the Axe Gang's big brother in the car, she clenched her fists to demonstrate her strength. This was a tribute to Bruce Lee's movie, The Dragon Crossing the River.
5. * * Goro's Eight Trigram Stick's Lines Shot **
- The last words spoken by Goro Gossip Stick were a tribute to the comic version of Spider-Man, and the English he spoke was a tribute to the 1987 American movie, The Untouchable.

7. * * Fiery Cloud Evil God Appears **
- Xing went to the mental hospital to save the Fire Cloud Evil God. The blood that spurted out from the iron gate paid tribute to the classic horror film, The Shining.
8. * * Final fight scene **
- The martial arts director Yuan Heping paid tribute to the Matrix for his actions when he was cleaning up the small fries of the Axe Gang.
