Im Here To Talk About Sun Chiens Acting. Sometimes I Think I Forget That Chinatown Kid Was His First

I’m here to talk about Sun Chien’s acting. Sometimes I think I forget that Chinatown Kid was his first movie (by all accounts of the various sources I have). So, tonight I was sitting down to really take a look at his performance. I think it’s really worth keeping in mind when you watch the film because it genuinely makes his performance so much more impressive. He was able to display such a wide array of emotions throughout the whole movie. Sometimes he changed his emotions multiple times in one scene. You can really see how raw and accurate it is, especially when he gets angry. Sun Chien doesn’t really sugarcoat it or downplay it because, to me, he does display what anger can really look like at times. Even when he’s upset, the pain reflects on his face and in his eyes. The character really is like an actual person with struggles and complex emotions. I personally think it’s one of his best performances overall. That is why I decided to make these gifs!

How did the weapons in Spearman of Death originate?

This is a wonderful question! Initially, Lu Feng, Chiang Sheng, Kuo Chui, and Chang Cheh witnessed flags being used in a Peking opera performance. Each of them was struck by its beauty when the flag was spinning around. The only problem was that flags are unable to attack people or be used in the manner they were in Flag of Iron. This led to them adding a spearhead onto the tip of the flag, which is how they created the weapons! It was all of their idea to use them.
