Summary: Zhang and his gang execute a routine train robbery, but find the train doesn't contain any silver, just a petty con artist, Tang, on his way to Goose Town, where he's bought himself a position as governor- which he plans to use to bilk as much as he can from the citizens as he can before moving on to the next town. Desperate to survive,Zhang and his gang execute a routine train robbery, but find the train doesn't contain any silver, just a petty con artist, Tang, on his way to Goose Town, where he's bought himself a position as governor- which he plans to use to bilk as much as he can from the citizens as he can before moving on to the next town. Desperate to survive, Tang convinces Zhang that if he will spare him, Zhang can assume the position of Governor instead… and with Tang as his counselor, he can make more money in a month than a he could in a year's worth of train robberies. Zhang, intrigued and looking for a break from the road, accepts. (Well Go)

It is marvelously funny - a screwball comedy with more layers than a pearl - and visually sumptuous. Read full review

This period action comedy by Jiang Wen (Devils on the Doorstep) is great fun in the Shakespearean tradition, stuffed with lively characters, dramatic stand-offs, and stolen-identity subplots. Read full review

Between the kung fu, the gunplay, a gentle romantic subplot and the extreme gastronomy – there's something for everyone. Read full review

As an allegory on power, corruption and rough justice, it has flashes of intelligence and political acumen. Read full review

That dedicated wryness makes the endless twists and betrayals easier to process-these are awful people, but it's sure a lot of fun to watch them fight it out. Read full review

Low on nuance and high on body count, the movie is primarily of interest to fans of Asian action spectacles and followers of the charismatic Chow Yun-fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), here cast as both a dandyish villain and his idiotic double. Read full review

At least 30 minutes and several scams too long, the plot passes from amusing to confounding long before the final double-cross. Read full review

I loved this movie I'm not much on Hong Films but as a kid I loved the old Bruce Lee movies, but the reason I purchased this was because of Chow Yun Fat, loved him in the american films, a very good actor! I love the plot! and the sound effects was great, so I'm not always a deep guy, II loved this movie I'm not much on Hong Films but as a kid I loved the old Bruce Lee movies, but the reason I purchased this was because of Chow Yun Fat, loved him in the american films, a very good actor!
