In order to help Sammo Hung pay his debts, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao filmed a classic, which turned out to be the last cooperation of the Iron Triangle.

Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, as action heroes of Jiahe, have made many classic works and created many classic characters on the big screen of Hong Kong films.

In the early 1980s, Sammo Hung led Hongjiaban to shoot many classic works, such as Ghost, Scaring People, Trilogy of Five Lucky Stars and Mr. Zombie, which helped Jiahe to expand its territory.

Jackie Chan's Homework also made steady efforts in the middle and late 1980s. Works such as Never Give Up, Plan A sequel, never to lose II, Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother have gradually made Jiahe the overlord of action Hong Kong movies on the big screen.

Although both of them are the right-hand men of Jiahe, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung are bound to have market competition in the development of the same theme and field.

In the middle and late 1980s, with Jackie Chan's rapid growth, Sammo Hung's film industry began to be affected, and its box office performance began to decline gradually.

During the period of 1987, Sammo Hung suffered heavy losses, and Hongjiaban was under great debt pressure. In order to help Sammo Hung solve the debt problem, Jackie Chan and Yuan Kui jointly planned the action classic "Dragon Warrior", and the "Iron Triangle" combination of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao got together again after years of separation.

The birth of "The Dragon Warrior" freed Sammo Hung from the debt crisis, but after the film was finished, Hong Jiaban quickly declined. And this "Flying Dragon" has also become the last peak of Hongjiaban's box office era.

Today, let's talk about the action classic "The Dragon Warrior", and also talk about why after "The Dragon Warrior", Sammo Hung's career was frustrated, and the era of "Iron Triangle" and Hong Jiaban's action movies declined.

When it comes to the reason why the Dragon Warrior was born, we have to mention one of Sammo Hung's war masterpieces, Oriental Condor.

During the period of 1985, Hong Jiaban's films Lucky Star High, Lucky Star in Summer, Long Zhixin and Mr. Zombie occupied the first, second, fourth and fifth place in the annual box office list.

1986, Sammo Hung led Hongjiaban to create the "Get Rich Train", which also won the annual box office runner-up with excellent box office results.

Although the box office market is booming, Sammo Hung has encountered development problems at this time.

Since Watch Your Hands (1982), Sammo Hung has been making such a hodgepodge of action comedies. For many years, shooting "works with the same theme" almost exhausted Sammo Hung's story creativity. "Jiang Lang's talent exhaustion" has become a difficult problem that puzzles its development.

In order to get out of the creative bottleneck, Sammo Hung decided to change his style and try war movies, and led Hong Jiaban to shoot Oriental Condor on 1986. "Oriental Condor" was shot in Vietnam, and the big action scenes of planes and cannons in the film also consumed a lot of shooting costs.

After the film was completed, it entered the Hong Kong film market with 1987. However, compared with the huge shooting cost, the box office revenue of movies is not optimistic, and Sammo Hung and Hong Jiaban are also facing debt pressure because of the market failure of movies.

In order to help Sammo Hung alleviate the debt pressure, Jackie Chan and Yuan Kui jointly planned the action film "Flying Dragon" after "The Oriental Condor", hoping to make up for the economic losses caused by the Oriental Condor with the box office revenue of this film.

In order to help the movie's box office performance, the "Iron Triangle" combination of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao has been regrouped.

"Flying Dragon" was released on 1988 Lunar New Year's Eve. The film won more than HK$ 34 million in the Hong Kong market and more than NT$ 45 million in the Taiwan Province market. The film's outstanding box office performance eased Hong Jiaban's debt pressure, but the "iron triangle" combination of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao was completely dissolved after the film.

Next, let's briefly talk about the story of the "Dragon Warrior", and at the same time talk about the gathering and dispersion of the "iron triangle" and why the "Hongjiaban" came to an end.

Starting from Five Lucky Stars, "Picking up girls and fighting at the same time" has become the consistent structural design of Sammo Hung's action comedies, and this "Flying Dragon" has also maintained such a story structural style.

At the beginning of the film, boss Hua (played by Yuan Wah), a drug Lord, secretly "makes drugs" in a printing and dyeing factory under the cover. The sewage discharged from the factory flows to the fish farm of Ms. Ye (played by Ye Dexian), causing a large number of fry deaths.

As a result, the angry Ms. Ye took her boss to court.

Originally, this was just an ordinary civil dispute, but behind the printing and dyeing factory was Boss Hua's "manufacturing industry chain". In order not to expose his identity as a "drug Lord", boss Hua decided to pay Ms. Ye heavily, and also hoped to buy a fish farm to prevent other accidents from happening in the future.

But the fish farm is the manor left by Ms. Ye's father, and Ms. Ye cherishes it very much. She not only refused the compensation from boss Hua, but also reported the printing and dyeing factory to the environmental protection department.

The involvement of the environmental protection department is likely to expose the secret of "manufacturing drugs in factories". In order to stabilize the situation, boss Hua tried to buy Ms. Ye's fish farm while looking for someone to handle the court trial. At this time, Aaron (played by Jackie Chan), a "cutting-edge lawyer" who flourished in the legal profession, became the target of China's boss's help.

Boss Hua told Aaron that he wanted to settle out of court and buy a fish farm. Aaron also met and communicated with Ms. Ye's lawyer. After learning that Ms. Ye had a firm attitude and refused to settle out of court, Aaron could only wait for the case to open.

During the dinner, Aaron got to know Meiling (played by Yang Baoling), the "water quality expert" in charge of case evidence collection, and fell in love with her at first sight.

Aaron wanted to invite Meiling to dinner, but she refused.

After saying goodbye to Meiling, Aaron calls his good friend Wang (played by).

Aaron told Wang that Boss Hua was seeking help and hoped to buy a fish farm and settle out of court. This fishing ground is worth more than10 million. Whoever can promote the acquisition plan will get a commission of 15% of the market value of the fishing ground.

Wang is an idle social youth who uses his good martial arts to cheat everywhere. Knowing that business was profitable, he decided to give it a try.

Although Wang accepted the business, Aaron was worried that he might not succeed, so he invited his other friend A Biao (played by Yuan Biao) to help him.

A Biao is a brave man with quick skills. Aaron hopes that Abiao will sneak into Ms. Ye's home and install a bug, so as to know Ms. Ye's situation and know herself at any time.

Out of friendship, Abiao also agreed to Aaron's entrustment.

After the arrangement, Aaron thought it was a two-pronged approach. Unexpectedly, two people made a mistake.

Wang learned that Ms. Ye was still single, so she wanted to pursue Ms. Ye with the plan of a handsome man. After the two men and women establish a relationship, they will persuade Ms. Ye to sell the fishing ground as a boyfriend, so that there are both beautiful women and commissions.

In order to close the relationship with Ms. Ye, Wang rented the house next door to Ms. Ye in an attempt to get close to Ms. Ye with neighborhood relations.

While Wang used the neighborhood to get close to Ms. Ye, Abiao also started to act.

A Biao sneaked into Ms. Ye's home and tried to install a bug, but Wang found out. Because I didn't know each other, I started fighting. Finally, A Biao was arrested and sent to the police station.

Wang also got closer to Ms. Ye because of this courageous behavior.

After Auntie was arrested, Aaron went to the "police station" for bail. As a result, he met Meiling again and learned that Meiling was Ms. Ye's cousin.

Aaron invited Meiling to dinner again, and Meiling wanted to refuse, but Ms. Ye hoped that through this dinner, she could find out some trends of Chinese bosses along Longkou so as to take the initiative in the trial. So Meiling promised to have dinner with Aaron.

In the evening, Aaron and Meiling have dinner together. Unexpectedly, Abiao and Wang came to Aaron one after another to discuss fishing grounds and insects. Worried that things were exposed, Aaron had to send Meiling away first, and then consult with Abiao and Wang.

A Biao is an honest and frank person. Aaron is worried that knowing about the fishing ground and the printing and dyeing factory will ruin the plan, so he hides. However, this also laid the groundwork for the later story development.

Wang acted according to the plan, and his feelings with Ms. Ye developed rapidly step by step. Moreover, after the previous * * * dinner, the emotion between Aaron and Meiling has also changed significantly.

Just when two men and two women had deep feelings, Abiao brought many accidents to the development of the situation.

Because of Aaron's concealment, Abiao became curious about the plan behind him, and then discovered the truth.

Abiao found that Aaron and Wang conspired to defraud Ms. Ye and Meiling of their feelings. In order to prevent both sides from being cheated, A Biao, who is honest and frank, exposed the plan of He Wang in front of Ms. Ye and Meiling.

Although it was originally to help boss Hua buy a fishing ground, after a long time of getting along, Wang had real feelings for Ms. Ye and Aaron for Meiling.

In order to prove his sincerity to Ms. Ye, Wang sneaked into the boss's factory in China and tried to find out the evidence of factory pollution. As a result, he accidentally discovered the secret of boss Hua's cooking. Wang was caught after fighting with the thugs in the factory.

Wang disappeared after he entered the factory. In order to find his whereabouts, Aaron and Abiao also entered the factory and fought fiercely with the thugs in the factory.

At the end of the story, Aaron and Abiao killed the thugs in the factory and rescued Wang. China's boss was exposed as a drug Lord, and the factory was seized by the police. There are also Aaron and Meiling, Wang and Ms. Ye. Finally, they are all safe.

In the story design, this "Dragon Warrior" not only keeps Sammo Hung's style of "picking up girls while fighting", but also has the action characteristics of Hong Jiaban in the presentation of fighting scenes.

Fist fight in a small scene has always been the action feature of Hong Jiaban, and this "Dragon Warrior" is the design of fighting in a small scene to the extreme.

At the beginning of the film, Jackie Chan's fierce fight in the restaurant and Sammo Hung's quick fist and fist in the broken house can all be called textbook-style closed small scene action drama design. At the end of the film, the leg fight between Yuan Biao and Zhou Bili, and the hardcore fist fight between Jackie Chan and Benny Urquiddes became the classic scenes in Hong Kong action films.

Of course, a wonderful performance is inseparable from excellent action actors. Among the Flying Dragon Heroes, there are not only Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao who are at their peak in physical fitness, but also Zhou Bili, Di Wei, Yuan Wah, Benny Urquedes, Zhang Quanxin, Zhong Fa and Liu Jiarong.

Just thinking about this star-studded lineup makes people feel excited.

Excellent comedy bridge design and wonderful fighting scene portrayal have made this "Dragon Warrior" get a lot of praise. Although this movie solved Sammo Hung's debt problem, it laid the groundwork for the end of Hong Jiaban's action movie era.

Hong Jiaban's small scene action design style has reached the extreme in this "Dragon Warrior". Hong Jiaban's road to action film shooting has also fallen into a creative bottleneck because of this "Dragon Warrior".

After "Flying Dragon", Hong Jiaban also produced works such as Detective Father and Son, Playing with Dragons, Burning Street, Royal Woman and so on.

These works failed to break through the ceiling of "The Dragon Warrior" in the design of fighting scenes, and the cast was even worse than this "The Dragon Warrior".

So after 1988' s "The Dragon Warrior", the box office of Hongjiaban's action movies dropped year by year. In the late 1980s, the market decline of "zombie films" made Hong Jiaban's situation worse.

From 65438 to 0992, faced with huge market pressure, Sammo Hung's "Baohe" and "Debao" stopped production one after another, and the development of Hongjiaban fell into a trough. And 1988, the Dragon Warrior, has also become the last peak of the box office era of Hongjiaban.
