Chapter 65 General Injury Map

Since the beginning of "Junior and Brother", all my movies will have behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the film. Except for the jokes of wrong lines or NG, a large part of the content is my mistakes in stunts, so you can often see I fell to the ground in all kinds of embarrassment, and everyone on the set rushed to the scene.Over the years, someone helped me sort out the injury records of the whole body, which is also a meaningful review for me. Head: When filming "Shaolin Gate", he was beaten and fainted on the spot.The most serious thing was the serious accident in "Brothers of Dragons and Tigers" that led to brain surgery.

Ears: The fall in "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" left me with a hearing loss in my left ear. Eyes: The brow bone was injured during the filming of "Drunken Master", which almost caused blindness in one eye. Nose: The nose was broken during the filming of "Sword, Flower, Rain and Rain".Filming "Dragon Fist" again and again hurt my nose. People: When filming "Simple Mission", he was exposed, and his teeth can be seen through the people.I stuck it with strong glue and continued filming, and it was about to grow in the evening. Cheekbone: Dislocated cheekbone while filming Super Cop.

Teeth: One was kicked out during the filming of "Serpentine Hands". Chin: Injured during the filming of "Master Dragon", it was so painful that I couldn't speak for a long time. Throat: I was injured and almost suffocated during the filming of "Junior and Brother". Neck: Multiple injuries.The most serious is the two jumps in "Plan A" and "A Good Man". Cervical spine: Injured while filming "A Good Man". Shoulder: Dislocated while filming City Hunter. Hands: Burns while filming Police Story.Injured his hand and phalanx during the filming of "Wild Dragon".When filming "Plan A", the whole hand was turned upside down.

Arm: Slashed by a sword during the filming of "Serpentine Hands", with blood everywhere, which was captured by the camera. Chest: The sternum was injured during the filming of "Junior and Brother", and the sternum was dislocated due to falling from the suspension cable during the filming of "Flying Eagle Project". Back: Multiple injuries. "Police Story" nearly broke his seventh and eighth vertebrae that time. "Zodiac" Wia fell to the ground and was injured. Pelvis: Dislocated pelvis while filming Police Story. Thigh: I was crushed by a car while filming "Serious Crime Unit".

Knee: Injured multiple times, most seriously while filming "City Hunter". Foot: In "Red Fan District", I broke my ankle and turned my whole foot over, so I put on a plaster cast and continued filming.When I was bored, I put the plaster cast on the socks and drew them as sneakers.When I was filming Who Am I, I was throwing a Swiss Army Knife for fun. I accidentally dropped it on the ground. I didn’t know what I was thinking. I used my foot to catch it, but it went straight into my foot. I took off my shoe to see that there was only a little blood. , just stick the tape and continue working.

... I can't count all the injuries I've suffered over the decades.Some of the above information may be wrong, and many of them have not been remembered clearly.Some outside reports are also inaccurate.Some say I've broken every bone in my body, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but what I can say is - I've broken every inch of my body from the tips of my hair to my toes, but I believe that's what every stuntman has experience, not just me. I often dislocate my ankle while walking on the road, so I twist it myself and twist it back.Sometimes when I took a shower, my foot was dislocated again, and I couldn't exert myself, so I called my assistant over and pushed it back with a click.It has been three years since the shoulder was said to be operated on, and two nails need to be driven in. Up to now, it is still procrastinating and unable to carry heavy things.The knee cartilage is worn out and I can't run anymore.The number of injuries on the body is also countless.

When he was young, he was impulsive and always dragged everyone to fight with his life.If it was popular to shoot documentaries in the past, you would have been inhumane when you saw our approach. Looking back now, I was lucky that I didn’t die at that time. At that time, everyone from top to bottom was very open-minded. Stretchers were prepared at all times, and even the doors of the cars were opened at any time. One injured on the scene was lifted off and sent away immediately, and the next one was put on top.When filming "Police Story", a series of movements were very difficult. The martial artists were the first to jump off, broke their hands, and carried them away.The next one came down with a broken head and was carried away.Seeing them start to be timid, I cursed and changed my clothes and went on by myself.He jumped down with a bang and was carried to the hospital to vomit blood.I want the demeanor of the boss, you dare not go up, I can do it myself, I dare!At that time, it was all about making money, and everyone was young and energetic and refused to admit defeat.At that time, there were many action teams in Hong Kong, and everyone would compare with each other. In addition to letting the married team drive a good car and wear a famous watch, with such style and prestige, I also wanted the married team to be the most daring and the most dangerous and powerful. !

After going through that stage, I have suffered too many injuries, and I know that the feeling is not good, and I also realize that I am naive and simple.Now whether it is my own family-building class or when I cooperate with others, a small dangerous action is about one-tenth of the difficulty compared with ours. Let people try it only if it is foolproof.I don't want them to go back to their old ways, suffer that kind of hardship, and let their family members worry about it.In the past, those who were not brave enough to join the family-making class did not dare to join, and sometimes they couldn’t recruit new martial arts. Now the family-making class has the safest and most advanced equipment, and all the equipment is installed in four RVs. Take it directly, every wheel, every rope, every buckle is the safest, and slowly teach others to use it, not only to protect everyone's safety, but also to make them as painless as possible.

In 2013, "Zodiac" won two action director awards in a row. I said on stage that this award should be shared with stunt people all over the world.They work hard every day behind the scenes, doing some unknown things, and sometimes being bullied and scolded by others.Today I am very lucky to be able to work from behind the scenes to the front of the screen, allowing everyone to see me on the screen.Injured, everyone can know through the news.Many stunt personnel have broken hands and legs or even died without anyone knowing, and no one cares.I very much hope that movie audiences all over the world can understand their contributions and give them more applause.I also hope that there will be an awards ceremony where only action films enter, not just literary films to win those awards.I want to set up the best action movie, best action director, best action female star, best action male star... I hope that those who are working hard behind the scenes will also have a bright day.
