  • 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, 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.

    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.

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

    A good-natured and highly enjoyable goof.

    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, I don't know why but I just enjoyed this one.… Expand
