Jackie Chan and other actors of the "City Hunter". Doram "City Hunter": the plot, the main actors and roles

The success of a wide-screen film depends on a number of factors. Of course, this is primarily a high-quality and interesting script and professional work of the director. In many ways success depends on how well the actors of the film have coped with their work. "City Hunter" with Jackie Chan - a film that, after showing a wide audience, found its dedicated fans. Its premiere took place in January 1993. It was shot in the genre of a kind of parody based on the comic book City Hunter ("City Hunter"). The actors in this film played their roles quite well, all the images turned out to be very bright. And this despite the fact that it was not difficult to get lost in the background, since the main role in it is played by the recognized and beloved in the whole world, Jackie Chan.

The same names for completely different films

An interesting fact is that this comic strip is often confused with one of the popular Korean TV series, which carries the same name. But the plot of the series for the film with Jackie Chan has absolutely nothing to do. Although it is necessary to pay tribute and say that the actors of the series "City Hunter" also coped quite well with their task and played well the roles that he proposed.

A short story of a single-episode film

This film came out in the genre of comedy thriller. The film turned out to be dynamic, interesting and at the same time very light and funny, in many ways precisely because all the actors of the City Hunter coped with the task assigned to them and perfectly embodied the images of their heroes on the screens. According to the plot, Rio Saeb is the main character. He works as a private detective and conducts his practice. Rio very much loves the girls, and he deservedly can be called a womanizer. One day a very rich man appeals to him for help - a Chinese newspaper tycoon. He reports that his only daughter and main heiress disappeared, and she urgently needs to be found. The hero goes in search of the girl, where, of course, he is waiting for a lot of adventures.

Legendary Jackie Chan

Despite the fact that almost all the actors of the City Hunter before the shootings in this film already had work experience, the most famous among all who took part in the shootings is, of course, the beloved Jackie Chan in the whole world. His name has long been a kind of brand of Asian militants.

Glory and popularity to this man brought incredible talent and the ability to combine, it would seem, completely different acting qualities. Jackie is known for the fact that he can easily perform the most difficult acrobatic stunts (without doubles), he has a perfect command of martial arts, he is engaged in the production of the most complex combat scenes and various tricks and at the same time has an extraordinary gift from the comic actor.

To date, he can be safely called the main hero of world militants. He managed to film more than a hundred films, in which he almost always played the leading roles.

The central character

Like the rest of the "City Hunter" actors, Chan did an excellent job of his role. Since the film is made in the form of a parody, there is a lot of farce in it. And as usual, Jackie with ease combines fights and fighting episodes with ironic and funny scenes. His hero is a terrible womanizer. Do not miss any opportunity once again to show off before each girl and attract her attention. At the same time, he seems very nice and his behavior does not cause irritation, but sympathy. A similar effect on the audience is provided by other characters of this tape. The film "City Hunter" (actors and roles in which are selected and worked out carefully) deserves attention of the audience, preferring light Asian comedies with elements of a rich action.

Performer of the main female role

The main character of this film is Camori Nakamura, the role was played by Japanese actress Joey Vaughn. Her image came out very interesting. Under the script, she got the role of the sister of a deceased friend of Rio Saeb. Young people live together because the detective gave the word to his dying friend that he will take care of his sister and will take care of her. But, knowing about the weakness of his friend to the female sex, the guy ordered the detective to not even think about seducing Camor. This task turned out to be difficult to do, as the heroine Joey Von herself fell in love with her guardian in time, and his indolent indifference began to anger the young girl. In the film there are a lot of funny episodes, dedicated to the difficult relationship of this couple.

The famous actor who plays the second plan

After the detective takes the order from the magnate and begins to search for his missing daughter, he learns that the girl went on a trip on a cruise liner. Together with her on this ship is a terrorist gang. Also there is a policeman, who should neutralize the bandits.

A very vivid character in this picture is the leader of the terrorists, who bears the name McDonald. This role happened to play the famous to date Richard Norton. Since 1980, this American actor has appeared in 25 films. He is recognized by works in such films as "Mad Max-4", "Steel Fist", "Iron Heart", "Oxtagon" and "Lady Dragon".

This man is considered one of the best actor-fighters in the world, at one time he taught martial arts to such world celebrities as Mick Jagger and Chuck Norris. In the movie "City Hunter", the actor won the image of his hero in a remarkable way - McDonald's turned out to be a real vile scoundrel.

Japanese TV series-Doorma

Very often a single-shot film, which we are talking about in this article, is confused with one of the most popular Korean DORAM. We are talking about the popular television series under the same name "City Hunter" (photo of the actors who took part in the filming of the project will also be provided in our article). The tape first appeared on screens in 2001. At the moment, 20 series are filmed.

A short story of a serial film

The main character under the script is a young guy named Lee Yong Song. He spends all his childhood in Thailand, where he learns the basics of martial arts. When a boy turns 17, he learns the truth about his parents and the story of his fate.

It turned out that when he was young, he was abducted by one of the heroes of the series - Li Jun Pe. Subsequently, he raised a boy, became his mentor and taught all the secrets of possession of arms, as well as martial arts.

When the young man became an adult, Li Jun Pe revealed to him the secret that his parents were brutally murdered. The guy became known for the names of 5 people who were involved in this. And, of course, he decided to find these people and get even with them. Together with his mentor, Lee Jun Pen, he is developing a plan for revenge, and at the age of 28, Lee Yong-sung becomes a "city hunter". The man returns to South Korea under an assumed name and gets a job at the president's residence.

Slowly implementing his plan for revenge, imperceptibly for himself the avenger falls in love with a girl named Kim Na Na, who also works in the residence.

"City Hunter" (Doorma): actors

The success of this series is largely due to quality actor's work. The actors of the "City Hunter" were correctly selected and coped well with their images. The role of the protagonist went to actor Lee Min Ho. Before filming in this drama, the young man was already very popular in Korea. He had experience shooting in several TV series and in feature films. Particularly popular to him was the main role of Ku Jun Pyo in the series titled "Boys of Colorful Flowers".

In addition, Lee Min Ho has a fairly successful experience in the modeling business. The young man, while still a schoolboy, took part in filming for many glossy magazines. At home, he is also known as a talented singer. To date, he managed to record and release 2 music albums. In Korea, Lee Min Ho was awarded numerous awards in the nominations "The Most Popular Model in Advertising", "The Most Popular Korean Artist", "The Best Actor of Asia".

Award for the role played

Among his numerous awards there is also the award "For the best man's role", issued to the actor in 2011 precisely for shooting in the dorama "City Hunter". This is not surprising, because Lee Min-ho was able to perfectly work out and implement the image of his hero Li Yong Sung. Despite some ambiguity of the plot, his character evokes sympathy, because he appears in the form of a bold hero - strong, strong, and besides having a good sense of humor. Yes, his hero has some kind of cruelty and is determined to implement his bloody revenge plan. But while falling in love with Kim Na Na, he shows completely opposite traits.

An excellent image of Lee Jun Foam

Another central male role in this series went to actor Kim San Jong. Before he started acting in films and serials, this actor had a real experience as an officer in the real marine police. Perhaps this helped him to brilliantly portray the image of Li Jun Pe - the former military, the only survivor of the mass execution of Korean soldiers near the port of Nampho. According to the script of the drama, he once stole the protagonist - Li Yong Sona, raised him and developed a plan of revenge for those who dealt with the boy's parents.

The main female role in the Korean TV series

The task to fulfill the central female role in this series was given to actress Pak Min Yong. Like other actors from the Korean film "City Hunter", she coped well with the task. The image of her character turned out to be very colorful and bright. According to the script, Kim Na Na - a young girl with a difficult fate. Her mother died in a car accident, and her father is in a long coma. Difficult life left an imprint on the nature of the girl - you can call it easy with a huge stretch. She works in the president's residence, where she meets the main character, Li Yong Son. Between the young people warm feelings begin to emerge, and, realizing that her lover is the "city hunter", the girl starts to help him in every possible way and help.

Having briefly studied the main storyline of this drama, one can understand that the City Hunter (the television series, the actors in which they played their roles brilliantly) has nothing in common with the title film, in which Jackie Chan played the main role. But fans of Asian militants can safely spend time on it. The tape is removed quite qualitatively, and the acting play of spectators will not disappoint.
