In Hong Kong in the 1980s, the film industry was once brilliant, as a land of bullets, but it was a star-studded crowd, resulting in Hong Kong people on the street when they encountered stars who would not be surprised, and these stars were basically acquaintances, and it was common for each other to make cameos in each other's movies.
For example, Jackie Chan made a cameo appearance in Stephen Chow's "King of Comedy", and Stephen Chow guest starred in Jackie Chan's "Glass Bottle", which is what has created an unprecedented prosperity of Hong Kong films.
Not only cameos, some movies are more star-studded, and audiences know this and that they are familiar with it, such as "The Night Feast of the Giants", which was made in 1991 to raise funds for the floods in East China, which gathered more than 200 popular stars in the first and second tiers of Hong Kong at that time, who did not take anything and used all their income for disaster relief.
Earlier than "The Night Feast of the Giants" is a movie on a par with it, which is also a star-studded film, which is the "Rich Train" released in 1986, directed and starred by Hong Jinbao, which gathered most of the Hong Kong film circle.
Hong Jinbao with a good hand, 19 years old to do martial arts instruction, he also began to take the Hong jia class to break into the Hong Kong film circle, with the popularity of Hong Jinbao, Hong Jiaban became the most powerful team in Hong Kong in the 80s of the last century, Hong Jinbao's status is getting higher and higher, with the title of "big brother".
"Rich Train" is one of the classic works of Hong Jiaban, as a big brother, Hong Jinbao's appeal can not be underestimated, in order to shoot "Rich Train", Hong Jinbao gathered most of the people in Hong Kong's film circle, resulting in many sets being suspended because of this movie.
Yuan Biao, as the most beautiful of the seven small blessings, has a shot of jumping from the third floor and tumbling in the air in "Rich Train", and immediately stands firmly after landing on the ground to continue acting, which cannot be done without solid basic skills.
Most of the actors in this movie are members of Hong Jiaban, Lin Zhengying, Zeng Zhiwei, Qian Jiale, Wu Ma, Yuanhua and other stars, these star scenes are considered to be many.
There are also some stars who make fancy cameos, Guan Zhilin, Wang Yu, Wu Yaohan, Baozhao Kurata, Shen Dianxia, Zhong Zhentao, Fan Meisheng, Huang Zhengli, Lou Nanguang, Liu Jiarong, etc. There are many familiar faces in the train scene, when Hong Jinbao made a phone call, whether they had a job or not, they all came to make a cameo, resulting in many sets stopping work at that time.
Although it is a farce, it is also a joke and a celebration, symbolizing the prosperity of Hong Kong films in the 80s, but this prosperity has begun to fall, there are fewer and fewer good works, and there are no more such classic movies.
