This is one of the best action scenes in cinema: after 31 years, it is still as influential

Martial art cinema superstar, Jackie Chan admired the public, its absolutely Dantesque Fights and its completely crazy waterfalls! A productive artist, he has participated in more than 150 films during his long career, began in the 70’s.

After Bruce Lee’s death in 1973, Jackie Chan took up, popularized the long neglected genre and subculture. In his imagination, he almost invented the concept of action comedy and martial arts in itself.

At the top of the Jackie Chan

A prominent fighter, the actor offered memorable queues in many films that remain in memories, especially among the fans of the genre. From Seafra to Chinese Master of the Police, Operation Condor, Mr. Cool or Hurry hour, Jackie multiplied the combat scenes for our greatest pleasure.

Thus, it is very difficult to choose the sequence of all that he has offered because they are almost all strong virtuoso. However, there is one that is distinguished from the lot and can easily grow on the best action scenes of all time.

This is the final battle between Wong Fei Hung (Jackie Chan) and John (Ken Lo) Master’s Fights (1994). In addition to co-financing the film by Chia-Liang Liu, Jackie Chan has also developed a spectacular choreography with the team of experienced bits.

For the record, history continues with some misunderstanding. Young and careless Wong Fei is hanging a thief pack, which contains an Imperial seal, with a ginseng. Two men meet and exchange packages.

The thief then explained to Fay Hung that he wanted to save the ring, one of the chinese legacy of the English colonists, which transmits various works of Chinese art in England …

If this feature film is special and memorable, just like its final battle, it is especially because of the special combat technique that Jackie Chan used: the drunken man’s boxing. Also called the Zui Quan (“Drunken Fist”), this is one of the style of Kung Fu whose gestures were inspired by a drunken man.

A strange combat style

What creates the specifics of this discipline is that it draws its power from the weakness of it. Using his body imbalance and did not resist the seizures of his enemy, we are able to destabilize it. Part of this discipline is the fight and quarrel.

This is what Jackie Chan does in the final sequence of Master Fights, using her body’s elasticity and dishonest gestures to disorient her opponent. This works because Johnny (Ken Lo) is experiencing Vong Fei’s timely attacks so that he is not able to pay back, finish KO.

Masters hand choreographic, brilliantly and intellectually climbing, the scene reads from beginning to end, breathing and entertaining. Voice work is also very important, which emphasizes the impact of strikes with power. It is bad for them when I admire the exciting performance offered by two combat artists.

By the emblem music compiled by WAI LAP WU, the sequence would not have the same dimension without this aspect. Finally, if this final battle is also awesome, it is for the perfect combination of talents, from comedy to martial arts, including assembly, sound work, staging and space management. Virtuosis, quite easily.
