In the 1960s, the Cantonese martial arts film "Tathagata's Palm", which was adapted from Liu's original work, was a smash hit, with the superstars at that time playing the leading role. The whole series has been filmed for five episodes. The "Fire Cloud Evil God" in the film is the master of the protagonist Long Jianfei, and also the successor of the stunt. Later, Ceng Jiang and Suet Nei continued to shoot The Tathagata's Hand Reveals the Great Power, which shows the popularity of this film at that time. 1982, Xiao Ye released a new version of Tathagata Palm, in which Wan Ziliang played the role of "Fire Cloud Evil God".
Ahriman's name is also borrowed from comics. The villain in Huang Yulang's masterpiece Dragon Humen has been serialized since 1970s. The leader of Japanese Luo Cha is called Huoyun Ahriman. 1994, Yuan Heping, the martial arts director of Kung Fu, also filmed The Legend of Fire Cloud, and Brigitte Lin's role was also called "Fire Cloud Evil God". It can be said that the word "fire cloud evil spirit" occupies a position that cannot be ignored in Hong Kong's martial arts culture.
In Kung Fu, Stephen Chow also moved out of Fire Cloud Evil God, but only because he thought the name was really cool. But after watching the whole film, you will feel that using this name is a little more black humor, especially the relationship with "Tathagata Palm".
Liang Xiaolong, who plays the evil spirit of fire and cloud, was the famous Zhen Chen of that year. His martial arts series "Huo Yuanjia", "Zhen Chen" and "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward" have become the universal memory of a generation. There is a plot in the film, which tells how A Xing sneaked into the "Institute of Abnormal Anthropology" to find the hidden fire cloud evil spirit, which is more like Stephen Chow's portrayal of Liang Xiaolong who has retired from the film for many years. How does Zhen Chen, who is no longer young and warm-blooded, interpret the latest Fire Cloud Evil God?
