In today’s article, Classic Movie Excerpt, let’s revisit a famous scene from the film “New Dragon Gate Inn,” which once resonated deeply with Vietnamese audiences in the early 90s.
This excerpt is from the 1994 film “New Dragon Gate Inn,” produced by Hong Kong cinema. The film features many renowned stars such as Ngô Mạnh Đạt, Thích Tiểu Long, Hắc Thiếu Văn, and Lâm Chí Dĩnh. Following the success of “New Dragon Gate Inn,” the appearance of the duo Thích Tiểu Long and Hắc Thiếu Văn became a phenomenon in the 90s Hong Kong film industry.
After achieving success with “New Dragon Gate Inn,” Thích Tiểu Long and Hắc Thiếu Văn quickly became the most sought-after stars in Hong Kong. They were often referred to as the “precious gems” of the Hong Kong film industry, continuing to make an impact with films like “Little Tiger of Super Gai” (1994), “Dragon Gate Inn” (1995), and “The Seven Swordsmen” (1995).
Despite their early fame, the careers of Thích Tiểu Long and Hắc Thiếu Văn did not significantly stand out as they matured. While Hắc Thiếu Văn retired in 2003, Thích Tiểu Long’s career (after his success in the film “The Young Hero of Bao Thanh Thiên”) has also been on a downward trend. Over time, both stars have approached their thirties, yet they continue to pursue acting careers, though they have yet to overcome the considerable shadow cast by their earlier successes.
As the years go by, the duo that once captivated audiences remains on the path of acting, yet they still struggle to break free from the immense legacy they created in the past.
