Hong Kong zombie movies were once popular, and since “Mr. Zombie”, this type of film has shined brightly, and many filmmakers are competing to shoot it. As long as there is a nine-uncle Lin Zhengying, there is an inexplicable sense of security, any demons and monsters are not to be feared. In fact, in addition to the zombie film starring Uncle Lin Zhengying, there is one that can rival it, that is the 1988 release of “Uncle Zombie”, the classic degree of straightforward “Mr. Zombie”.
The production team of “Uncle Zombie” is almost the same as “Mr. Zombie”, produced by Golden Harvest and Golden Harvest, with Sammo Hung as producer and supervisor, director Liu Weiqiang, and starring Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying instead of the iron triangle, but two pairs of mentors and apprentices, Chen You Qian Jiale and Wu Ma Li Li Zhen, as well as Yuan Hua, Zhong Fa, Wang Yuhuan and He Jianwei. Although less Lin Zhengying this sign, but also cut off 14.03 million Hong Kong dollars, ranked 20th in the annual box office list. Today, let’s talk about the behind-the-scenes story of “Uncle Zombie” and what to watch.
1. The birth of the script
As we all know, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei are good friends. When they were screenwriters, they discussed what they would make if they became directors. At that time, Liu Zhenwei listed all the famous directors in Hong Kong, including Lau Kar-leung, Sammo Hung, Koh Koon Man, Wong Pak-ming, Tsui Hark and Ann Hui, who were good at action movies, comedies and art films. In the end, Liu Zhenwei set his sights on Liu Guanwei, who was the only one making ghost movies, so Liu Zhenwei said that he was making ghost movies, and only Liu Guanwei was good at fighting. As it turns out, Liu Zhenwei’s choice was correct, and “Fierce Ghost Police Station” and “Fierce Ghost Academy” were very successful.
Uncle Zombie, also known as Mr. Zombie 4, is not much more innovative than the previous films, but its biggest feature is that it adds a lot of funny elements, and it plays down the horror elements, which is basically funny all the time. In addition, it also adds various bell-ringing corpses, fox spirits, teachers and apprentices fighting, and other pranks of the sect, which greatly increases the entertainment.
2. Master Sotomoku and Master Ichiu play tricks on each other.
Four Eye Roadmaster Chen You and a rest master Wu Ma in the “Mr. Zombie” are cameo, one is nine uncle’s brother, the other is a rice store owner, here to become neighbors. The two are neighbors, but they are bitter rivals, one is a different school, the second is the personality of the cause, after all, four eyes of the head of the set is a tricky and mean type, whether it is playing at the table, or each cast spells to make the other in accordance with their instructions to do things, are very funny. The two of them are great at internal fighting, but they are more united in the face of external enemies and work together to deal with the royal zombies.
3、Jiale Lee Li Zhen
Uncle Zombie is the first film in which Chin Ka Lok has taken the lead role. He has been a stand-in actor and supporting actor in such films as Eastern Condor, Flying Dragon, and Dragon Quest, as well as doing many difficult moves for Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. In particular, the film’s martial arts instructors are Hong Kar Pan and Yuan Hua, while Chin Ka Lok also holds the position of assistant martial arts instructor. In the film, Chen You and Wu Ma fight non-stop, but their disciples Chin Ka Lok and Li Li Zhen have a lot of fun together, and they also had a two-year love affair.
The first time I was in the room was when I was in the car, I was in the car, and I was in the car. After that is and Hong Kong sister Li Shanshan love affair, this paragraph is also the most profound, when the outside world are also more optimistic, but unfortunately the final failure. In the end, we also know the ending, three-eyed child Qian Jiale married “Liu pipa” Tang Ying Ying, and now there are two lovely daughters, the family is happy and satisfied.
4. Alternative “Sissy”
The film is not only the martial arts director of the film, but also “in his element” as the sissy Wu Shi Lang, with his orchid fingers, shaking his white handkerchief, and saying, “Oh, you scared me to death,” which is not too funny. After being bitten by a zombie, he even freed himself and took advantage of Qian Jiale. In fact, Yuan Hua has played this kind of role before, such as the general in “Eastern Condor”, which is very contrasting. It is also worth mentioning that Yuan Hua actually also participated in the “Mr. Zombie”, in which the zombie is him, I don’t know if you guys recognize it?
5. Master Chizuru is in reality Lin Zhengying’s younger brother.
In real life, Zhongfa is the younger brother of Lin Zhengying, and the two of them studied under Pink Chrysanthemum. The two of them studied under the Pink Chrysanthemum. Although he was not very good at it, he was no match for the royal zombies, but his spirit of killing himself in the end was touching. I think Zhong Fa has a kind of heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and he should be more suitable to play the killer.
6, “The Zombie Family” Family Reunion
In this article, I’m going to show you how to get the most out of a zombie family. The little zombie here becomes the responsible little prince, but still did not escape to become a zombie. As for the female zombie, she becomes a vixen and is played by the Four Eyes. Zhang Rongxiang, on the other hand, continues to play the zombie and becomes a royal, with a much greater ability.
The 31-year-old “Uncle Zombie” is still a classic now, and it’s still fun to watch. In recent years, Chin Siu Ho has been trying to carry the banner of zombie films, but the results are not satisfactory, contributing to a large wave of crude zombie films, such as “Mr. Four Eyes”, “New Mr. Zombie 2”, “Biochemical Medicine Corpse”, “Mr. Yin Yang of the Last Celestial Master” and so on. To be honest, instead of watching “bad movies”, it’s better to look back at the old classics, don’t you think?
