In 1983, Tsui Hark's film "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" caused some sensation because the film's promotional claim that Hollywood's Star Wars special effects team was involved in the production, was a novel and appealing gimmick at the time. Although the success of the film was not great, it was later regarded as a classic by fans.
Tsui Hark has always been committed to the development of film special effects art, and has a deep understanding of the creation of the traditional Chinese world of Xianxia. With enough investment and time, he may be the best candidate for China's new generation of "Fengshen" and "Journey to the West" series.
Unlike Tsui Hark, Jackie Chan is known for not using a stand-in and often getting injured but always saving the day. His ability to act and create was in the spotlight in the 10s. An example of his combined creation with foreign IP is that his movie "Miracle" is adapted from the old American film "A Day Lady", which fully demonstrates his outstanding creative talent.
However, compared to Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark series, modern Chinese treasure hunting adventure stories such as Notes on Tomb Raiders and Ghost Blowing the Lantern have had a relatively weak impact. Although there is a Wesleyan series in Hong Kong, the performance of its film and television works is mediocre and cannot be compared with "Raiders of the Lost Ark". In contrast, Jackie Chan's "Dragon Brothers" and "Project Flying Eagles" are considered to be comparable to the Indiana Jones series of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother is a movie written and directed by Jackie Chan, showing his image as a civilian hero, boldly pursuing adventure and justice. The film's character, Asian Flying Eagle, becomes a highly respected big brother who takes on a treasure hunt adventure and presents a thief-like image. The storyline is engaging, and the action design is tense and exciting while at the same time with a sense of humor. And the plot of the Spanish count's search for the "arms of God" recorded in the Bible is even more fascinating.
The sequel, Project Flying Eagle, continues the excitement of its predecessor and is still full of treasure hunting adventures and plots deep into the tiger's den. The beauties in the film are like clouds, and the stunning performances of Spanish actress Ivakobo and Japanese actress Masako Ikeda also left a deep impression on the audience. The whole plot is compact, full of suspense and excitement.
Overall, "Brother and Tiger" and "Project Flying Eagle" show Jackie Chan's courage and passion in creation, which will leave the audience with endless memories. Jackie Chan's film achievements have surpassed Bruce Lee, and through his own efforts and persistence, he has created a unique image of a civilian hero and won the love and respect of the audience. These two classic films still have a huge influence today, showing the charm of the Orient and the heart of justice on the international stage.
Through Jackie Chan's film works, we can not only see his courage and fighting spirit, but also feel the fraternity and positive energy he transmits. As a generation of superstars, Jackie Chan has influenced the world in his own way and has become a big brother and hero in the minds of countless people. I hope we can all be like Jackie Chan, bravely face the challenges in life, move forward firmly, pursue our dreams, and become heroes in our hearts.
However, after these remarkable works, we can't help but ask: will there be another Jackie Chan? And what are some of the new treasure hunting adventure stories that will attract the attention and heated discussions of the audience? Historically, how have similar films influenced society and the aesthetic tastes of audiences? The answers to these questions may require us to continue to pay attention to the development and creation of this field, in order to discover new windows of film and television art.
