35 years ago, Wang Zuxian's film lost to Jackie Chan's "Dragon Brother tiger brother", but it became a classic adventure movie a dragon ball that can summon the dragon, causing gangsters, religions, and rich businessmen to compete for the box office is not as good as "Dragon Brother Tiger Brother", the special effects are advanced, an underrated adventure blockbuster

Do you believe there are dragons in the world?

In addition to being a cultural totem Chinese, there has been a lot of debate about whether there are dragons in the world.

As the only fictional animal in the zodiac, the reason why the dragon is listed in the zodiac seems to imply that people have seen the creature "dragon".

However, the dragon sees the beginning and does not see the end, and the dragon is a creature that only exists in the legends that have been circulating in Ancient China since ancient times, and there are few witnesses to it. The most controversial is the "dragon fall incident" that occurred in Yingkou, Liaoning.

In 1934, it rained heavily for 40 consecutive days in the Liaoning region, the water level of the Liao River soared, and when the rain stopped and the water level receded, it suddenly stinked, and people looked for a huge animal carcass in the reed pond north of the shore, according to witnesses at the time, the animal bones were huge, shaped like a giant python, but there were many more bones than pythons.

This matter was also published by the local newspaper media, but unfortunately, due to the long distance from this year, the newspaper photos are too blurry, and the authenticity of the matter cannot be verified.

In addition to China, a specimen of a small dragon about 1 meter long is enshrined in Japan's Ruilong Temple, which is rumored to have been bought by a Japanese general from a Chinese farmer. The relevant institutions regard this small dragon specimen as a treasure and keep it under strict care.

These events are the two closest humans to dragons, and "dragons", like UFOs, have become a topic of research that many occult enthusiasts are keen to discuss.

In 1981, the unprecedented success of the action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark, directed by Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford, is the story of Indiana Jones, an archaeology professor played by Harrison Ford, who is commissioned by the military to travel to Egypt to fight for holy relics with evil organizations.

The dangerous battle between good and evil, the exotic style full of mystery, and the dangerous traps make "Raiders of the Lost Ark" instantly popular around the world.

As the "Hollywood of the East", Hong Kong will certainly not let go of this popular theme, so Hu Chenlong brought the same adventure theme of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" in 1986.

In addition to bringing the same treasure hunt as "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Jackie Chan also used his own strengths to increase the viewing of the film's fights, especially several times in the shooting, so that the film earned enough eyeballs, and finally won the box office championship of the year with a box office score of 35.46 million.

The "New Art City Pictures" composed of Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, and Mai Jia also saw the great potential of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", in order to compete for this hot potato, they pulled Xu Guanjie, the backbone of the New Art City, Dillon, a brother of martial arts, such as Wang Zuxian and other stars in the sky, to compete with Jackie Chan.

Director Teddy Robin chose one of the best-selling novels "Wesley" to bring the legend of the dragon to the screen, satisfying the public's curiosity about whether the dragon really exists.

Knowing that the action scenes are not as good as Jackie Chan,director Teddy Robin has hired a "brother" in the stunt industry to be responsible for the film's flying car scenes. He also went to Egypt and Nepal to shoot scenes, setting a record for the shooting cost of Hong Kong films.

The film's ten-minute-long spaceship special effects still look so shocking that it is not at all possible that this will be a movie from 35 years ago.

Male lead actor Xu Guanjie suffered from severe altitude sickness and almost died when filming the film, which made this film look very interesting.

Nonsense, let the fork bring you this "Wesley Legend" !!!

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a dragon ball that can summon a dragon, causing gangsters, religions, and rich merchants to scramble for it</h1>

The film opens with a mysterious religious ritual in which the old living Buddha appoints the newborn baby as the new living Buddha and places a dazzling bead next to him.

Three years after his brother, David Gobind, contacted Wesley and claimed that there was a magical Dragon Ball in Nepal that would make people smart and foresee the future.

He also showed Wesley a map of the ancient city containing the Dragon Ball, and in order to let Wesley help him steal the Dragon Ball, Gao Dawei designed himself to be held hostage by the monks of the ancient city.

Under the chase of the monks who have guarded the Dragon Ball for generations in the ancient city, the two finally got the Dragon Ball, but due to the strong energy of the Dragon Ball, the plane fell, and the whereabouts of Gao Dawei were unknown.

The little living Buddha of the ancient temple finds Wesley and reveals that the Dragon Ball is a sacred relic that their religion has enshrined for generations, and if it falls into the hands of bad people, it is bound to destroy the world. The kind and upright Wesley decided to help the little living Buddha get back the Dragon Ball.

Gao Dawei did not die, but brought the Dragon Ball to the hands of bai qiwei, the world's largest gang, who had always wanted to study the secrets inside the dragon ball.

Wesley went to the headquarters of the Green Gang to return to Dragon Ball, and talked with Bai Qiwei and broke up. But fortunately, Bai Qiwei's sister Bai Su secretly agreed to Wesley and helped him get the Dragon Ball.

In fact, not only Bai Qiwei coveted the Dragon Ball, the Egyptian merchant Hope also coveted it, and after Wesley and others got the Dragon Ball, they were chased and intercepted by Hope's men, and Gao Dawei and Dragon Ball were taken away by Hope's men.

In order to save the world, Wesley and Bai Su once again embark on a journey to Egypt, in the desert, Bai Qiwei, Wesley, and Hope launched a three-way war, Wesley saved Bai Qiwei, breaking the barrier between the two.

The people came to Nepal again, and at this time the monks of the ancient temple were slaughtered by Hope, and everyone wanted to punish Hope, the demon leader.

Hope tells everyone that he is not a rich Egyptian merchant, but an alien who has wandered to Earth. This Dragon Ball is also not a sacred relic of the Soul Divine Dragon, but the navigator used by their planet to activate the spaceship.

Unfortunately, Hope is evil, and whether you are an alien or an earthling, there is a battle between the two sides.

Hope fell from a cliff in the process of fighting for the Dragon Ball, straight up on the sharp spikes, and looked at the dying Hope, and Gao Dawei returned the Dragon Ball to Hope.

Entering the cockpit, Hope activated the capsule, and the crowd saw a steel dragon leap up from the mountain and fly into the air. One of the people who do not know the truth is the reincarnation of the dragon, and they worship it one after another, and the legend of the dragon is just a trace of aliens.

End of story

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > box office is not as good as "Brother Dragon Tiger Brother", the special effects are ahead of the curve, and it is an underrated adventure blockbuster</h1>

From today's perspective, "The Legend of Wesley" combines many popular elements of commercial movies such as gangster vendetta, mysterious religion, and exoticism.

The film's creators went to Egypt and Nepal to shoot in stark contrast to the shoddy shooting style of other Hong Kong films.

Wesley, played by Xu Guanwen, is just like the male protagonist in the adventure movie, brave and strategic, good face, and loves to talk big.

Dillon, who has just turned over with "The True Colors of Heroes", played a good big brother image with full aura and morality step by step.

Wang Zuxian, who had just turned 19 when filming the film, played Bai Su's playful and cute personality, occasionally loving to play with the temperament of girls, and it is worth mentioning that a few months later, she became popular all over Asia with "Ghost of Qiannu".

Compared with the extremely tall protagonists, the dragon set roles of Gao Dawei and Ke Shouliang played by Teddy Robin are the finishing touches, love greed and cheapness, and the character of Wang Zuxian has become one of the few laughs in this film.

The film adopts the same background values as the novel of the same name, and understands the supernatural phenomena and mysterious creatures in people's eyes as alien technology more rigorously.

It is worth mentioning that the dragon spaceship at the end of the film is up to ten minutes long, the details are handled in place, the audience can clearly see every part of the spacecraft, to know that there was no CG technology at that time, it was not mature, and the film specially used the processing means of physical shooting to restore the visual scene that surprised the audience, which was really rare.

Unfortunately, the film is too pursuing the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" style, less than the witty humor of Hong Kong films, which makes "The Legend of Wesley" suffer losses at the Hong Kong box office, and the 18 million result can only be admired by the same type of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother".

A movie a story, I am a fork, we will see you next time!!!
