Poster of Eighteen Martial Arts
The cast of Eighteen Martial Arts is luxurious.
Liu Jialiang, a martial artist who has multiple roles as director, actor, screenwriter and action director, plays a leading role in the film, bringing with him Liu Jiaban’s kung fu stars, showing us the real kung fu from hard bridge to hard horse.
Like Liu Jialiang’s other films, Eighteen Martial Arts upholds his martial arts design of sticking to the authentic Shaolin Nanpai Kung Fu, paying attention to seeing the move and dismantling it, and practicing it with one move and one style.
Fighting in a narrow space is a test of skill.
The design of small spaces, such as fighting in the attic and fighting in narrow lanes, fighting space in mid-air and in the middle of the water is unparalleled.
Fang Shaoqing (Kara Wai) and Shi Shu (Liu Jiahui), Mao Shantan Lei Yong (Liu Jiarong) and the sorcerer’s altar iron monkey (Hou Yaozong) test each other. I know you are dark, and the duel with each other’s magical powers can be described as wonderful.
However, the biggest attraction of Eighteen Martial Arts is undoubtedly eighteen weapons.
As a descendant of Huang Feihong’s fourth-generation Hongquan, Liu Jialiang won the biography of his father since childhood. He loves Kung Fu and will study weapons, techniques and methods of actual combat in the rest of the time. It can be said that he is proficient in everything and has developed a martial arts foundation.
Liu Jialiang, who is a hundred schools of thought, is almost the only person who can show the essence of Chinese "Eighteen Martial Arts".
In the movie Eighteen Martial Arts, all kinds of martial arts weapons are basically included.
In a summary of the Hong Kong film database, 18 kinds of weapons used in Eighteen Martial Arts are listed: rope dart, Shuang Hu hook sword, double hammer, double axe, snake halberd, closed knife, double knife, straight knife, single knife, cherry blossom gun, three-section iron whip, double dagger, double crutches, monk shovel, scepter, trident, butterfly sword and three-section scepter.
Especially in the last ten minutes, the weapons war between Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiarong was the most wonderful.
First, there is the killing of Daguan Dao against Double Dao and Sakura Gun against Double Dao.
There will be a knife-to-sword short weapon confrontation.
The three-section whip with integrated attack and defense vs the flexible double dagger can be described as inseparable.
Crescent shovel’s situation is closely linked with each other, while the single-headed stick is both rigid and flexible, flexible and not sluggish, and it has been used repeatedly.
Especially in the end, the combination lineup of "three-stick broken rattan card+The Lancet" is even more exciting.
The pure kung fu duel that lasted for 10 minutes was never repeated, and the mutual interaction between weapons made people stunned.
"Develop martial arts and get rid of superstition."
This idea also runs through Liu Jialiang’s films and life.
As early as in the first film directed by Liu Jialiang, he introduced the theme of illusion.
The "immortal possessed and invulnerable" claimed by Shenda altar is just a mysterious stunt, which has already lost to the Five-Shaped Boxing.
Yu Wang’s Five-Shaped Boxing shows the charm of the snake, the tiger’s overbearing ferocity, the crane’s lightness and agility, the leopard’s pursuit and the dragon’s wandering changes.
Seven years later, Liu Jialiang took the illusion theme again. In the film Eighteen Martial Arts, which tells the story of eunuch general manager Li Lianying instigating the Boxer Rebellion to beat the gods, Maoshan and warlock three altars and eliminate the traitor’s second helmsman, Leigong (Liu Jialiang), he still retained his idea that "all feudal superstitions are not credible in front of kung fu".
The golden bell jar of Shenda altar, the puppet art of Maoshan altar, and the pupil art of warlock altar … …
Opening the altar, doing it, lowering the head and getting into the upper body are also true and false, which is quite fancy.
But these strange tricks are just deceptive gimmicks, and the real power is kung fu itself.
The film Eighteen Martial Arts is full of Liu Jialiang’s original intention of defending authentic martial arts and attacking crooked ways.
Liu Jialiang takes Kung Fu as the core, takes the real Kung Fu of hard bridge and hard horse as the call, and tells all about the knowledge and spirit of Kung Fu through eighteen weapons.
At 14:40 on December 14th, the movie channel will broadcast Eighteen Martial Arts for you. This movie, which can be called a textbook of cold weapons, will reveal the meaning of Eighteen Martial Arts for you.
