Various large-scale blasting shots were shot on the spot. The planner led the production team to carry out lengthy negotiations with various departments of the SAR government. In order to give the officers confidence in the technical and safety measures of the production staff, the production team arranged a number of simulated shooting and blasting demonstration scenes for the relevant departments to visit.

In addition to continuing the technology of Hong Kong production in the field shooting, the film also absorbs Hollywood technology.

"True Colors of Men" reflects the word "action" everywhere, and the plot is reflected by the play. The most impressive thing is the dizzying action and explosions. As a "man's drama", in addition to showing the traditional Hong Kong films of the police and bandits fighting law, but also the action scene to the extreme. At the beginning of the film, the robbers led by Wu Jing create a shocking explosion in downtown Hong Kong, and then Tse, Chan and Yue Man-lok fight against the robbers in order to get the case, crash, jump, explosion and fight one after another. Nicholas Tse and Shawn Yue, in the director's camera, several people's movements look like boxing to flesh, full of texture. A series of hot gunfights and explosions, from time to time high-altitude jumping and chasing, broken glass everywhere, make people feel nervous and exciting (

"The Real Man" reprises the tradition of Hong Kong film, the actors are desperate, the masterful design, the director schedules the scene, and the editing is powerful.
Wei Junzi critique
It has raised the realm of Hong Kong action movies to a higher level, and has made breakthrough progress in character description, plot presentation, and scene design. From the beginning of the play, the director has been competing with the audience's intelligence. The portrayal of the role is concise and full of layers, each character has his past history, has his story, and it is rare that they can blend together skillfully. At the end of the film, the excitement is more touching the audience's heart (

The film is a cliche with no intention, but a new bottle of Hong Kong action movies (
Sohu entertainment review
)
[20]
. Many scenes seem to be really beaten, the scene is not enough glass to get together, in order to stimulate the casual explosion, known as the real style action film "True Colors of Men", in fact, because several young male protagonists have different action skills, director Chen Musheng or have to use glass and other special effects to assist, the traces of the hanging wire still exist, and the final actual action tends to be moderate. The scene of the chase on the roof did not reflect the action personality of the actors, and some of the action scenes and the explosion scenes still fell into a vicious circle of "playing for playing". On the whole, Be Me is a well-made and entertaining film, but if you call it a Hong Kong kung fu film, it's not.
Hong Kong action movies, to say the least
There are still a lot of questions (
