Those thrilling action scenes in the movie always make the audience's heart skip a beat. Let's talk about some scenes from the Police Story movie, such as the scene where Jackie Chan jumps a chandelier. This shot attracted much attention, with Jackie Chan standing on the fourth floor of the mall, shouting loudly, and then jumping down. In order to shoot this scene, the crew prepared for more than 20 days.
At that time, Jackie Chan was standing by the railing of the stairs on the fourth floor, struggling inwardly. Just then, a stuntman walked up to Jackie Chan and secretly stuffed something into his pants pocket. Jackie Chan took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be a newspaper. In order to reduce the impact of Jackie Chan, the stuntmen deliberately put newspapers to cushion it.
Jackie Chan threw the newspaper aside and stood on the railing, the photographer was ready, Jackie Chan shouted loudly, and then jumped down. The chandelier is covered with small bulbs, which are powered by a wall socket. Jackie Chan's palms have been worn and swollen, and when Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung saw this, they couldn't help but hug Jackie Chan and cry.
Although some actors are not as famous as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, their actions are in no way inferior to anyone. For example, in a particularly thrilling scene in "Tiger Out 2", actor Li Yuanba jumped off the overpass, but did not catch the lamp pole and fell directly from a height. In another movie "Dragon's Heart", the scene of actor Qian Jiale jumping off a building is also classic.
After filming this scene, Qian Jiale was sent directly to the hospital. The camera asks him to break through the glass on the third floor, then bounce onto the pergola on the second floor, and finally onto the roof of the sedan in front of him. He tried 15 jumps and actually shot 5 times before he succeeded.
In "Mouse Hunt", Yuan Hua also has an action of jumping off a plane, and the director initially said that he was only 20 feet tall, but Yuan Hua, as a dragon and tiger martial artist, thought that this height was not a problem. But when he actually jumped, he found that the plane was flying higher, about twenty or thirty meters.
When he officially jumped, he was not ready, he was touched by someone on the plane, and he flew in the air for a while before falling into the water, his chest as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, and his nose and mouth were bleeding. There is an even more thrilling scene in the movie "Dragon's Heart", where eight people jump off the building together, which is a shot that has never been seen before or since.
The eight actors in the film and television crew include Erbao, Yuan Hua, Qian Jiale, Yuan Wu, Yuan De, Curry, Ah Hu, and Xiaopeng. The crew procured more than 3,000 cardboard boxes and more than 100 sponge pads, which began laying at 12 o'clock in the evening and worked until 6 o'clock in the morning. Despite a number of safety measures, the height of the seventh floor remains a cause for concern.
The demolitionists were nervous, and one of them said to the director, Sammo Hung, "Director, why don't you try it." When filming was about to begin, Yuan Wu stepped on an iron nail, and after pulling out the iron nail, he immediately threw himself into the shooting work. At the same time, eight martial artists jumped down in unison, one of whom was none other than Qian Jiale, who was about to smash the protruding plank on the third floor with his head.
After the scene was completed on set, the director did not announce the call it a day, but shouted for help. Michelle Yeoh is known for "playing with life", and during the filming of "Ah Jin's Story", an accident occurred. She stood on a platform more than ten meters high, jumped down bravely, and felt that her back had broken when she landed.
Due to the rapid fall, Michelle Yeoh's head was inserted directly into the sponge pad, and her legs were overfolded towards her body. Director Xu Anhua looked at her, her heart was full of pain, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. Respect these actors, they have used their lives to interpret previous film and television works.
