Exploring the Ming Dynasty Secret Service Weapons from "Embroidery Spring Sword 2: Shura Battlefield"

1905 movie network news  The movie is about to be released, and the good reputation of the previous one has added a lot of popularity to the sequel. In addition to the ups and downs of the plot, many audiences are very interested in the "Embroidered Spring Knife" in the movie. In fact, many movies have special designs for the weapons of the Ming Dynasty spy agency Dongxi Factory and Jinyiwei. Let me take you back immediately.


Jinyiwei’s knife – each with its own characteristics


In the film, the image of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei fresh clothes angry horse is vividly displayed, Jinyi Wei’s saber not only exquisite workmanship, but also each one is not the same.

 

Among them, the most typical standard sabers are Lu Jianxing’s goose wing knife and Shen Lian’s goose ling knife in the movie. Despite the difference of only one word, the shapes of the knives are very different.


Geese wing knife shaped like wild goose wings, blade wide, thick, long handle, slashing powerful.


Yanling knife shaped like feathers, the tip of the knife slightly raised, lighter than the goose wing knife, can both cut and stab.


The double knives used by Jin Yichuan in the film should be the design of the film art team itself, which is longer than the ordinary short knives. There are also patterns on the blade to add attention to the action scenes of the characters.


As for the weapon used by Ding Xiu, it has the meaning of gathering the strengths of a hundred families. Some people say it is a chopping knife or a seedling knife, and some people say it is more like a Japanese samurai sword. It is in line with his character positioning, which is both good and evil, and unpredictable.

In "Embroidery Spring Knife 2: Asura Battlefield", the character’s saber also changes according to different personalities. Zhang Zhen said in the production special that the art team carved different patterns for each knife, some of which were paintings and some were eagles.


In the movie starring Donnie Yen, Jinyi Wei’s sabers are uniformly designed into a wide and straight style, which is heavier and gives people a strict feeling, which matches Donnie Yen’s tough guy temperament. The magical weapon "Daming Fourteen Potential" that appeared at the beginning of the film is even more exquisitely designed and heavily organized, and the fourteen knives are hidden in the box, each with different functions.


The sword of the East-West Factory – irony

The sword was called the "Hundred Blades Lord". In the movie, most of the knights wore swords. Interestingly, many of the East-West Factory killers in the movie also used swords.

 

Due to the evil temperament of the eunuch, the East-West Factory has always existed as a villain organization in the movie. Comparing the villain to a "gentleman" adds a touch of irony.


He used more than one sword in Zhongyu Huatian, the short sword was sinister, and the long sword was fierce. He had a "sword in the sword" that could be split into three in fights, and was used in two fights with Jet Li. "If you don’t agree with a word," you can throw out two small swords.


And Wei Ting, the adopted daughter of Wei Zhongxian played by Zhu Dan in "Embroidery Spring Knife", is even more exaggerated, using a Western sword. The action design is also Western swordsmanship based on thorns. Coupled with white clothing, it is more like modern fencing.

As for the exciting sword collisions in "Embroidery Spring Knife 2: Asura Battlefield", the cinema will find out after the release.
