badatpool Posted July 17, 2006 at 06:11 PM Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 at 06:11 PM I just watched Crazy Stone. Many Chinese films are not entertaining or trying to be funny in an awkward or silly way. In this case, I wish I had watched this film in the cinema instead of downloading it, to support the makers. It's not brilliant, really, compared to most other heist films. Still, it's the first mainland heist movie, and I think they did a good job on it. Some people complained it’s too similar to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but I don’t know because I forgot that film already. Crazy Stone is also a comedy, and the Sichuanhua makes it funnier. . I was going to put the poster on here, but compared to the film itself, the poster design looks pretty cheap.

roddy Posted July 18, 2006 at 04:30 AM Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 at 04:30 AM Have got this downloaded (if it's good I'll buy a 7Y dvd to support them) and will probably watch it today. Looks like good fun, although the Sichuanhua could be a problem for me if there aren't any subtitles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted July 19, 2006 at 09:06 AM Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 at 09:06 AM Watched this yesterday. Funny in parts and definitely worth a watch. You will need the subtitles though, unless you happen to be a Sichuan native. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhchao Posted October 17, 2006 at 11:32 PM Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 at 11:32 PM FYI, Crazy Stone will be the closing film of the Pusan Film Festival this Friday. The film also happened to be produced by Andy Lau, who was named Asian Filmmaker of the year at the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Mao Posted January 16, 2014 at 03:42 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 at 03:42 PM This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It should be pointed out that on the version I bought, at least, you could choose a standard putonghua audio track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berni Posted May 20, 2014 at 02:22 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 at 02:22 PM Ninghao is a great director. The other movies like 黄金大劫案(Guns N'Roses) 无人区(No man`s land) are also interesting. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
