Things I've learned from this movie


1. Moving priceless paintings don't need any security. It only needs a truck with the back door easily able to be opened.
2. When ur trying to sneak into a room with a painting, when u first head that way, there will be no laser sensors, then when u come back, there will be. No need to be alarmed that ur cover is blown, simply get some wine and playfully dodge ur way back. Also, the laser's should allow people to get through to the other side easily. The wine and the big gaps that separated the lasers allows people to make it through.
3. When ur meters from a door with a priceless painting, u should use a rope to check the area for any traps. No need to worry about any motion sensors.
4. Doors that hold a priceless painting should be able to be opened by pulling on a secret compartment. It shouldn't be monitored.
5. Even though it takes u to find secret hidden wines to get into a door, and even when the door first spins and ur partner is on the other side unable to get out, once ur both inside and the door closes, both of u should be able to push ur way out easily after u retrieve ur painting.
6. Even though ur cover is blown when ur trying to escape after u stole a priceless painting and ur partner is shot too, u don't have to flee the area incase they are still trying to find u. Instead, just stay at the bottom of the mountain where the paintings are, visible to everyone who looks down.
7. Top Thiefs don't only carry cigarettes for smoking. They also use it to cure gun wounds. 100% effective.
8. When tens of people with machine guns are firing at u, simply twist around on the ground and most likely not a single bullet will hit u.
9. Even after u drive a car into a boat with a huge explosion, not only will u survive, u won't even get a single scratch. It'll be just like it never happened.
10. If u can't marry one of ur step brothers, mary the other.
11. Police men are never any good, if there is intense shooting in a house, no policemen will ever show up.
12. Security for a priceless painting is nothing compared to two thiefs. There won't be any motion detectors of course. The key is given to one person who has already danced with a girl that got the key from him already. A vault with a spinning combination can easily be cracked by a thief. Even if he's on the phone, all he has to do is wait until his partner spins until the vault clicks.
13. When u know ur partner is in danger of suffocation, and ur faking a wheelchair, still try to go up the steps with a wheelchair even though time is running out.
14. When ur about to steal a highly guarded painting, don't bring any guns. U can rely on ur partner to bring some explosives.
15. When u try to put some explosives on a vault to break it, u need to use wires and have everything exact for an explosion, when ur facing some people with guns, all u have to do is throw an explosive at them, hope it sticks to their head, and wirelessly press the explode button.
16. If ur paid killers and ur 2 targets standing still looking at u in the dark, don't fire right away to kill them, first let them whisper to themselves wondering if ur a monster or not. Then fire when they are about to dive to aside to avoid ur bullets. Make sure they avoid by first taking a long step forward before u shoot and the bullets on ur machine gun go at 1 mile per hour.
17. Even though there is intense shooting at an area, the police will not come. The 2 people only have to kill everyone who is suppose to guard the painting and they're done.
18. Even though u are suppose to save ur partner in a life threatening situation trying to steal a painting, there is no need to reveal to him that ur not actually disabled. In fact, just stay disabled. Even though the only reason u are disabled is so that ur father won't kill u. Even though u can kill him with one shot behind ur back and u can still fake that ur still disabled when its time to give ur painting even though there is absolutely no need cause u thinking of putting up a fight anyway. U could've let ur partner know from the beginning u saw him.
19. If u have a clear shot at a person in a wheelchair with a believed disabled leg. First shoot the leg, even though its disabled. Even though the gun shot is white, no cause to be alarmed, start shooting the body and even though the holes that ur bullets pierced are also white, no need to be alarmed. U can assume u target is dead even though u are a trained thief/killer urself and u know that most likely they will wear some kind of armor.
20. It's a good idea to wear some bulletproof armor and not inform u partner at all about it.
21. When ur shooting someone in a wheelchair, shoot countless times at his legs and body, even though all u need is one shot on the head.
21. When u know a painting is electrified, u make ur people keep going up there to try to grab it even though they will all die. Keep doing it until everyone there dies and ur the only one left standing. Then try to get it even though u know that there are two skilled thieves behind u.
22. In a fight with machine guns and shotguns, the guy that u most fear is a person with a deck of cards. He will not die unless while trying to put fire at u, u spit some liquid back and he catches on fire.
23. Also, the only way to kill someone is to put fire on him. Even though he is choking on liquid, wait till u think he can't spit it out, then put some fire on him. There is no need to use a nearby gun or throw ur trademark card.
24. In a battle with many of people, there will be a time with only 2 people in a huge living room, fighting with no guns and one of them will die at the end.
25. After ur sons have massacred many people in ur house and has completed destroyed ur house and all the blood and everything and dead people and hurt people who are dangerous in ur house, let them walk away with nothing to blame. Instead, let the police see what happened and hope that they won't put any charges on u. Actually, instead of letting them go, hope that one of them will hurt u or slap u so that it leaves a mark so that the police won't suspect u of letting them go.
25. Even though ur a millionaire with ur soon to be painting worth a fortune, don't do anything for ur dad after u massacred his house. Just go.
26. Its cool to have a person that was suppose to marry ur wife and they were in love for a while to live in ur house in AMERica and be a babysitter for ur child.

I love Chow Yun Fat, but I found this movie painful to watch. The cheezy music alone was horrid. I just got thru it somehow enjoying the few good scenes with Chow....

The European car crash scenes were kinda cool!
