A Hong Kong movie from more than 20 years ago, Douban 7.2, but I can watch it a hundred times without getting bored!
(This article was originally written by Hotpot Theater: hottheater)
Speaking of old Hong Kong movies, I think many people born in the 80s and 90s will have full memories of them. They can be said to accompany them. We grow.
For example, "A Chinese Journey to the West: Moonlight Box" became a love mentor for many people back then. (The classic line at that time: There was once a true love in front of me, but I didn’t cherish it... I guess many girls shed tears for it!)
Or maybe it is still not recognized by the audience. "Dark War" is considered by few to be the pinnacle of Hong Kong police and gangster films. (At that time, Andy Lau was so handsome that it was sad, and Liu Qingyun’s performance as Ho Shangzhi was unforgettable.)
But what is really deep in the hearts of these people who are called uncles and aunties by the post-00s generation is actually the Hong Kong that accompanied them when they grew up. A large part of the movie is what can be called the shadow of childhood. During that period, Hong Kong horror films were at their peak, with the birth of "Corpse in the Mountain Village", "The Ghost Company", "Yin Yang Road", etc., a series of movies that are still very classic today.
However, in old movies, especially Hong Kong horror movies, there is an actor who cannot be avoided no matter what - Lam Ching-ying.
So today I will tell you about an old movie by Uncle Ying - "Exorcist Police".
I don’t know when it started, but in my eyes, Lin Zhengying began to be equated with the metaphysical term Taoism. (This movie was released in 1990, when Yiduo and I were not yet born, but this movie later affected some of my views on movies.)
It contains Lin Zhengying, Miao Qiaowei, Lin Junxian, Wang Meihua, Wu Ma, Zhou Billy, Chen Zhiliang, most of these actors have become memories.
If the 2013 "Zombie" is a continuation of the residual popularity of Hong Kong horror zombie films led by Lin Zhengying,
then this film was starring Lin Zhengying at his peak. "The Exorcist" is the most detailed piece of preaching in this series.
Uncle Feng (played by Lin Zhengying) is a veteran policeman in Dongpingzhou who is upright and has superb Taoist skills.
He is different from other policemen. He believes in the same old ways.
In his eyes, catching ghosts and catching bad guys are the same, both for the sake of justice in the world.

You can say that he is a modern Taoist priest, or you can say that he is a good policeman with special abilities and upholding justice.
In fact, this is a bit like the definitions of some official special persons in some novels.
After a strange case (the third wife’s daughter made a big fuss in the restaurant at the beginning of the movie),
Uncle Feng began to travel to the big city.
He and his niece also met an old friend of his.
A good old partner who joined the police station at the same time as him, but had a better career -
Mr. Wu.
There are also two young drivers who can't move when they see his niece -
Two young policemen (played by Lin Junxian and Miu Qiaowei)
But Before they met, Uncle Feng went to the morgue to check on the body.
After some inspection, he discovered that this was a case of someone using magic to control the walking dead.
But his old partner still disagreed with his views.
——Nonsense!
However, nonsense is nonsense.
His old partner still believes in him.
In the eyes of his old partner, although Uncle Feng speaks a bit feudal, he is still capable.
So he still believed in Uncle Feng’s opinion.
So Uncle Feng was allowed to live in the home of these two young policemen.
However, the attitudes of these two young policemen are different.
Although both of them are elites in the police station, their personalities It's completely different.
One person thinks that Uncle Feng is an old policeman who relies on his old age and is about to retire -
Uncle, we are police officers now,
We are not here to see Feng Shui. !
The other one thinks that Uncle Feng is a master and recognizes Uncle Feng as his master and wants to learn his skills.
However, attitude is attitude, and the group of people still found the location of the suspect.
A small village that has been transformed into a mess by evil magic,
is not a place where a living person should live.
——Corpse raising ground,
This is the result of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Uncle Feng had not been in the yard for 5 minutes when the other party noticed it.
And the two sides also had a fight for the first time.
The confrontation between the righteous path and the evil path.
However, no one suffered a loss from either side in this encounter, and it could only be regarded as a draw.
After this time, the boss is this beautiful woman.
A series of attacks began.
First, send the zombies out to attack the main character and his group's lair.
With an expressionless face, he really looks like a Terminator.
However, the walking dead are the walking dead.
Although he is made of copper and iron and is invulnerable,
he is just a small soldier and can be eliminated in three strikes, five or two.
There were also some pig teammates behind, and two young policemen actually found them single-handedly.
Not only was he not caught, he was also cursed by the boss.
This is called not seeking death but not dying.
If you step forward rashly without knowing the strength of your opponent, you will only be defeated.
The boss also took this opportunity to take action personally, and the two started a life-or-death duel.
Confrontation between Taoism.
To be honest, I don’t need to say much about Uncle Ying’s movies. Friends who have watched them all know that he is basically the childhood of those of us born in the 80s and 90s, and his movies are the most attractive. What is the place -
There is no doubt that it should satisfy our childhood curiosity about Taoism, magic and other rumors passed down from ancient times.
In this regard, this movie can be said to be the one that Uncle Ying has shown the most.
Although it is not like the series "Mr. Zombie", which stars a Taoist master with superb Taoist skills, this kind of movie that incorporates modern elements makes people feel more down-to-earth.
The role played by Uncle Feng also allows us to see another side of Uncle Ying besides the zombie Taoist priest -
There is no humorous Taoist priest laughing and joking, but he has an expression. A serious and upright Taoist wizard.
In addition to Uncle Ying, the one who left a deep impression in this movie is actually the boss (played by Michiko Nishigayo) who has always been in rivalry with Uncle Ying.
He has a heart as poisonous as a scorpion, and his evil skills are terrifying.
Not only did he kill his subordinates as soon as he appeared, he also accidentally killed his closest person in the final confrontation with Uncle Feng.
And this may be the concept of this type of movie from beginning to end!
If you harm others and yourself, there will be retribution one day.
Retribution will not come, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
However, let’s finish talking about this big truth.
In fact, this movie was considered a childhood shadow at the time.
It is estimated that many people were shocked by the boss scene at the time.
