This film ripped off SNATCH!

This film is Chinese version of Snatch, the plot-line is almost the same and the film style is pretty much of Guy Ritchie style(Did they pay for remake rights?) I prefer watch something more original from China.

agreed, although i am not against the idea of introducing western comedy masterpieces into china by having a chinese version of it.

as if Snatch is that original.
come on, give some serious comment.

Snatch, Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels are also copies.
Pulp Fiction is also a collage of other films.
but nobody seems to be bothered by that.

now, just because this is a chinese film, people start complaining.

well said.

After pulp fiction, there are probably 100 movies following the style and no one cares. it's all about learning and improving.

it's part snatch, lady killers, and other hundreds caper movies out there.

What makes this stand above the rest -- characters and story structure. I love this film.

Save for some shoddy-quick pan editing, this movie is just genuis.

How can you say the plot line is almost the same? Actually it's more similiar to Lock, stock and two smoking barrels(especially some scenes like the duel between 2 bad guys). But Snatch? Come on, did you see any boxer or revenge in Crazy Stone?

I agree it's a Guy Ritchie style, but the style only. Just like American Gangster and the Godfather. You can't tell who steals from whom.

Guy Ritchie's style? His style is not so original either.

Also was it daunting to see a Chinese film where they didn't jump 20 feet into the air?
