Let the Bullets Fly
Set in China during the warring 1920s, the bandit "Pocky" Zhang Mazi (Jiang Wen) and the other bandits ambush a conman; Tang (Ge You) who is posing as the Governor Ma Bangde with his wife. Zhang then proceeds to Goosetown taking Tang's place as the local governor. Tang becomes his counselor, while Tang's wife poses as Zhang's wife. Zhang's aim at this position is opposed by local mobster Master Huang (Chow Yun Fat) who lives in his fortified citadel overlooking the town. While Tang is aware of Huang's previous financial arrangement with the town's former governor, Zhang is not interested in sharing his wealth with a crook he finds to be as unworthy as himself. A deadly mind game between Zhang and Huang ensues, with Master Six (Zhang's godson), Zhang's "wife", Two, and eventually Tang as casualties. Zhang wins in the end, by means of sedition and deception, ousting Huang by his own deception.
