After Crazy Stone and Crazy Racer, China's sixth-generation filmmaker Ning Hao kicks his caper comedies up a big notch with Guns and Roses. Given the biggest budget he has ever worked with, the acclaimed director is able to mix in elements of war, action, romance, and yet more surprises in a period setting, while keeping his trademark stylized storytelling and pitch-black humor intact. The cast this time is again toplined by the usual gang of Guo Tao, Liu Hua, and Huang Bo, along with Fan Wei, Tao Hong, and fresh faces Lei Jiayin and Cheng Yuanyuan. Opening in the lucrative Labor Day holidays of 2012, the film took merely nine days to break the RMB100 million barrier and become Ning Hao's biggest blockbuster to date.
In the northeastern China of the tumultuous 1930s, small-time crook Xiao Dongbei (Lei Jiayin) is inadvertently embroiled in a daring heist orchestrated by the revolutionaries. They plan to thwart the Japanese army's attempt to buy weapons from Italy by sneaking into their unbreakable and heavily guarded vault and steal the eight tons of gold inside. In the process, Xiao Dongbei and his crazy dad (Guo Tao) cross paths with the Manchurian top actress (Tao Hong), a group of self-sacrificing patriots, a fake pastor (Fan Wei), a treacherous Japanese military officer, and a banker's willful daughter (Cheng Yuanyuan)...
