"Anyone who offends China will be killed no matter how far the target is." That is the tagline(标语) for Wolf Warriors 2, the Chinese box office hit.
It sees a soldier Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, going into an African war zone and saving hundreds of lives from Western bad guys. It's basically the plot of the typical Hollywood action movie, but this time it's a Chinese man upholding justice and keeping the world safe.
Following the footsteps of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, martial arts expert Wu Jing is among a new generation of Chinese action stars who turned directors.
His first Wolf Warrior film came out in 2014, but it didn't make much of an impact. Mainstream movies, especially those promoting patriotism(爱国主义), usually don't do very well in China. Wolf Warrior 2, however, has become a phenomenon(现象).
The film got in 1.6 billion yuan in just one week. The huge response in China also made the film top the global box office worldwide last weekend, beating Hollywood blockbuster Dunkirk.
Many moviegoers said online that they were touched by the patriotic plot. "This movie is the best Chinese action movie," one person wrote online. "Shockingly good and moving, hot blood and brave guys. Tears shed from my eyes after watching it," said another.
