Introduction:

Based on TECMO's best-selling 3D fighting game, it tells the story of five female fighters fighting to the death on a foreign island. The most special thing is that the film is directed by Yuan Kui, a Hong Kong-made action director, and many sexy female stars are invited to star in it, such as supermodel Devon Aoki and sarah carter, and Norwegian supermodel natassia malthe, who is half-China.

This is undoubtedly the purest entertainment product this year: bikini beauty with mountain city ... The film is adapted from a fighting game of the same name that is very popular with male players, very similar to Street Fighter.

The story begins with an unknown palace in Japan. Despite everyone's obstruction, Princess Xia insisted on participating in the annual "Fight for Life and Death" competition. As a favored child, her purpose is certainly not to covet tens of millions of bonuses, but to find out the whereabouts of her brother Gao Feng ... After attending the "life-and-death battle" a year ago, Gao Feng disappeared mysteriously and his whereabouts were unknown. Although people around Xia speculated that Gao Feng might have died in the war, Xia always felt uneasy and didn't find the truth. Unable to overcome the stubborn Xia, Xia's childhood playmate and bodyguard Falcon followed her. This adventure has brought two hearts that have always loved each other closer.

As for American girl Tina Armstrong, the purpose is much simpler. Her father is a former wrestler and has always suspected that his daughter is not his own. Tina wants to prove that she has completely inherited her father's athletic skills with practical actions, but she didn't expect that her "life-and-death" opponent turned out to be her father ... chris Allen, the British jewel thief, came purely for money, but she didn't want to win a prize by winning a game so hard, which was a long time ago. Helena Douglas, who stepped on the pulley, has been living on the mysterious island where the championship was held, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. She is the true heir to everything on the island, including the bonus. But she didn't know that her father was killed by Donovan, the current island owner. She affectionately addressed him as "uncle". In addition to these four girls, there is a black boxer Jack with a green Mohawk head and a goatee, as well as various martial artists from all over the world.

The "life-and-death battle" has officially begun, but the real enemy that the four girls have to face is actually Donovan who is manipulating everything behind the scenes. This evil old man who gained unusual martial arts by taking advantage of the side door is actually just a paper tiger.

Comment in a word:

A mediocre work, there is nothing particularly brilliant, but it can't pick any big mistakes.

-"film review"

If you are a man, aged between 15-25, you will definitely love this movie, because it has everything you want to see: bikini, beautiful legs and ass. ...

-"London Vision"

Wu pointed out that the touching scenes of the whole movie are guaranteed to be wonderful, but the rough computer special effects make everything greatly discounted.

-"Empire"

A movie composed entirely of fighting scenes is pitifully rare.

Behind the scenes production:

Post-Charlie's Angel Age

Nowadays, girls' families are more and more hot and bloody, and Hollywood is a place where "savage girlfriends" are popular. From Charlie's Angel to Resident Evil, it reached a small climax in Kill Bill. Nowadays, in almost every action movie, there will always be one or two "beating women", not to mention Catwoman and Catwoman. As for westerners' fascination with Oriental Kung Fu, it has a long history. Therefore, the desperate style directed by Hong Kong director Yuan Kui is actually very similar to Charlie's Angel+Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Of course, the cultural level it can ultimately represent in the film industry will never reach this height. Because Wu pointed out his body, he can be said to be very addicted to this kind of "injury-oriented" close combat, so we can see various unique fights in the film regardless of time and place: stairs, bookshelves, bamboo forests, water ... sleeping, eating ... fighting when we meet. Yuan Kui has made more than 30 Hong Kong films. Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) is his first time as a martial arts player for the United States. In 2002, Transport Vehicle, co-produced by France and America, was his first English film.

The computer game "Duel to the Life" can finally be put on the big screen, and the real behind-the-scenes hero is actually the producer Jeremy Bolt. It is the efforts of fans of this standard video game that led to the success of Resident Evil. Now, with "Fighting for Life and Death", it can still occupy a place where Hollywood games are adapted into movies. Now, he is busy with the production and shooting of the last Resident Evil: Extinction. Compared with Bowett's obsession with video games, another producer, paul anderson, thinks that he only knows a little about computer games. Although he also participated in the whole production of the Resident Evil trilogy, he was also the director of the first episode of Resident Evil ... However, Anderson is an avid sci-fi fan. In 2004, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, directed by him, achieved good results at the box office and word of mouth, laying a good foundation for the upcoming "superhero duel" craze.

The film premiered in Britain in September this year, and the feedback from all parties can be said to be mixed. It seems that you can't scare well-informed foreigners with Oriental Kung Fu alone. Some people say that "Fight for Life" is the most loyal adaptation of the original game ever. It's almost like taking photos, including conversations, and then turning virtual characters into real people. It can be seen that the director and several producers respect the original game and gamers ... "

Don't be too happy. I think this sentence is more ironic than praise. It is precisely because Yuan Kui "admired" computer games so much that he lost the opportunity and space to add drama to movies, and even forgot the basic elements that a movie should have: a good script, interesting characters and dramatic tension. The adaptation of "Fighting for Life and Death" only occasionally looks like a movie, and most of the time it looks more like a real-life game. It completely succumbed to the original video game style, and the settings of each game were so old that people couldn't help sighing. In addition, the background confession of each role was like flashbacks, and there was a feature of "playing when you meet, even saving the greeting"-let four beautiful women wear bikinis to have a beach volleyball match when you are tired ... But I can see that Yuan Kui can grasp the psychology of male audiences very well, and it is definitely a movie pieced together entirely by action scenes, plus several beautiful women. Who cares what your content is?

Perhaps, director Yuan Kui initially defined this film as "a pure parody", so although there is no real nudity and plasma gushing, there are metaphors of sex and violence everywhere. Of course, we can also find similar elements in many action movies, but not as "blatant" as "Fighting for Life and Death". Yuan Kui's genius lies in that his shots are often aimed at the sensitive parts of beautiful girls, followed by long close-ups, slow motion, freeze-frame or split shots, and population movement. One of the scenes of Chris' naked back in the hotel is really beautiful and powerful, plus some stupid jokes and artificial action scenes, everyone will understand ... Yes, this movie is really bad, but it's.

Trivia:

Milo ventimiglia first took part in the film, but he didn't like Yuan Kui's description of the role and was not satisfied with his poor performance in the film. In the end, he chose another movie adapted from the game-Alive.

Wonderful dialogue:

Helena Douglas: Don't you think the guy in the second row is cute?

Christie Allen: Is there a man in this world that you don't have a crush on?

Xiao Xia: You can have him. But what about the other 300 people?

Tina Armstrong (pause): Why don't we divide them equally?

Helena Douglas: Do you think the boys in the second row are cute?

Kris allen: Are there any boys in this world that you don't think are cute?

Princess Xia: There are still 300 people here. Do you want them all?

Tina Armstrong: Why can't we share it equally?

Leon: (slams Xiao Xia's door) Room service.

Leon: (rushes into Xia's room) Room service. (There are subtle sexual hints here)

Tina Armstrong: Perfect. I broke another nail.
