The movie is centered in a Shanghai slum called Pig Sty Alley. It's ruled by a dumpy landlady (Yuen Qiu), who marches around in slippers and has one of those cartoon cigarettes that always stays in her mouth no matter what happens. Shanghai is terrorized by the Axe Gang, which mostly leaves Pig Sty Alley alone because the pickings are too slim. But when counterfeit gang members are confronted by neighborhood kung-fu fighters, the real gang moves in to take revenge. The Axe Gang doesn't exactly blend in: They all wear black suits and top hats, and carry axes. That'll make you stand out. I am reminded of Jack Lemmon's story about the time he saw Klaus Kinski buying a hatchet at Ace Hardware.

Chow not only stars and directs, but co-wrote and co-produced. We get the sense that his comedies are generated in the Buster Keaton spirit, with gags being worked out on the spot and everybody in orbit around the star, who is physically skilled, courageous and funny. Chow plays Sing, also the name of his character in "Shaolin Soccer" and at least six other movies. This time he's an imposter, pretending to be an Axe Gang member in order to run a shakedown racket in Pig Sty Alley. Imagine how inconvenient it is when the real Axe Gang shows up and he's in trouble with everyone. By the end of the movie, he's going one-and-one with The Beast (Leung Siu Lung), in a kung-fu extravaganza. The joke is that most of what Sing knows about kung fu he learned by reading a useless booklet sold to him by a con man when he was a child.

It's the 1940s, and the notorious Axe Gang terrorizes Shanghai. Small-time criminals Sing and Bone hope to join, but they only manage to make lots of very dangerous enemies. Fortunately for them, kung fu masters and hidden strength can be found in unlikely places. Now they just have to take on the entire Axe Gang.

In general The local residents of Pig Sty Alley, one of the poorest slum neighborhoods in Shanghai. Almighty Janitor: The five undercover masters are a tailor, a baker, a coolie (unskilled laborer) and the landlady and landlord. Even the farmer lady that is challenged by Sing can punch him hard enough to make him cough up blood. Dwindling Party: One by one, the masters living in the slum step up to fight the gang. Nearly all are dead by the end of the film, and the Landlady and Landlord only just barely manage to survive. Flock of Wolves: As the opening text points out, harmless villages of squalor are the only place one can find peace. It seems like everybody had the same idea to find peace as a harmless villager, considering effectively everyone in Pigsty Alley is proficient in hand-to-hand combat and the place hides no less than five of the world's best kung fu masters in hiding for completely unrelated reasons. In summary, the harmless village is largely composed of extremely lethal people pretending to be harmless. Let's Get Dangerous!: They're all comical, miserable villagers living in squalor who are actually absurdly competent in hand-to-hand combat to varying extents. Undefeatable Little Village: Pig Sty Alley is this kind of village within a larger city dominated by criminal gangs.

Donut Played by: Dong ZhihuaThe baker in Pig Sty Alley. He specializes in the Baguazhang Staff style. He control staves in the direction they go. Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Is shown as a very meek, somewhat Extreme Doormat bread-maker who is actually a incredibly fearsome kung fu master. Gratuitous Foreign Language: He switches to some very heavily-accented English every now and then (like saying "Thank you!" to the Landlord). In fact, his last words are in English: "WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO?", a Shout-Out to The Untouchables (1987). Nice Guy: Seems to overall be a friendly chap always smiling to his costumers. He even offers a Axe Gang member a meal (before being swiftly punched in the face). Only Known by Their Nickname: As the other Three Masters, he is only known by his occupation. In this case, by what he makes (Donut). Rock Beats Laser: Donut destroys a few Tommy guns and Mauser C96 pistols with his staff. Wrecked Weapon: The Harpists destroy all of his spears as he tries to get close enough to strike them.

Brother Sum Played by: Danny Chan Kwok-kwanThe ruthless leader of the Axe Gang, who has destroyed all the other gangs in Shanghai. Asshole Victim: Nobody shed any tears for Sum after the Beast killed him. Bad Boss: He kills an underling on the spot for accidentally spilling a cup of tea. Big Bad: Sum leads the Axe Gang and is responsible for the intimidation of the residents of Pig Sty Alley out of irritation towards their defiance. Though he's mostly hands off himself, he's the one organizing and recruiting for the attacks to take place. Big Bad Wannabe: Though still technically the main antagonist of the film, Sum is quickly reduced to a joke as he's humiliated by the Landlady and Landlord. Losing more and more control of the situation as the film goes on, Sum is eventually killed by the Beast for pissing him off still with 20 minutes left to go. British Teeth: His teeth is horrible, and most visible when the camera pulls a Gross-Up Close-Up on his mouth when he's about to set a couple of civilians on fire after the Gasoline Dousing moment. Bullying the Dragon: When the Landlord, Landlady and Sing all escape their lair, Brother Sum has the chutzpah to chew out the Beast for letting them get away, earning him a backhand that kills him instantly. Dirty Coward: Sum tends to act like he's a badass whenever he and his gang are attacking enemies who are heavily outnumbered and outgunned, or when trying to kill helpless people who are unable to defend themselves; but he lacks any real fighting skills of his own, and will run off to hide when faced with opponents who can actually fight back. Probably best shown with how pathetically he surrendered to the Landlady when she cornered him. Disc-One Final Boss: Is the main antagonist for most of the film, only to be unceremoniously killed by the Beast, who promptly usurps the role of Big Bad. The Don: He is effectively the top mob boss of Shanghai. Establishing Character Moment: He is introduced sashaying his entire gang through the empty streets of Shanghai just to kill off the comparatively smaller Crocodile Gang. He does the hustle as he kills the leader, and then he lets the leader's wife go, only to shoot her in the back when she tries running for it. Even Evil Has Standards: He intentionally subverts this. After murdering a rival gang leader, Sum tells the man's wife that "I don't kill women." Then immediately after she turns her back on him, he cold-bloodedly shoots her dead anyways, thus establishing what a merciless, ruthless thug he really is. Evil Is Not a Toy: He has the Beast broken out of his asylum to have him kill the Landlord and Landlady, only for the Beast to kill him and usurp control over his gang when Sum mouths off at him. Faux Affably Evil: He can sometimes be superficially charming, but he has no qualms with murdering anyone who gets in his way, even after calmly and politely pretending that he'll spare their life. Hair-Trigger Temper: As described above under Bad Boss, he can fly into a murderous rage over something as little as his tea getting spilled. Hate Sink: He's despised by practically every character in the movie, from the residents of Pig Sty Alley to rival gangsters and even including his fellow underlings. Every moment he gets humiliated onscreen is played for laughs, and his entire gang pretty much forgot about his existence after his death. Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: He's a violently short-tempered thug without any redeeming qualities whatsoever. Best demonstrated with how he cheerfully pretended to be merciful to a helpless woman, before murdering her for no reason. Neck Snap: The Beast slaps Sum's face so hard that it causes his head to revolve around a few times until it faces backward. Scary Teeth: His teeth are rotted and yellow. The Sociopath: Sum is a murderous scumbag with absolutely zero trace of any kindness or morality in his body, and is perfectly willing to kill any (innocent) man, woman, or child who gets in the way of his goals for money and power. Soft-Spoken Sadist: Rarely speaks in anything beyond a low monotone at first, calmly and softly, as if disinterested. However, he noticeably loses this more and more as the movie goes on and his Villainous Breakdown continues - his last few lines are shouted at the top of his lungs. Would Hit a Girl: As shown in his introduction, he is not above shooting a completely defenseless woman with a shotgun blast to her back. Would Hurt a Child: He tries to force a martial artist who injured a gang member to reveal himself by nearly setting a woman and her child on fire.

Brother Sum's Adviser Played by: Tin Kai-manBrother Sum's right-hand man and second-in-command in the Axe Gang. The Consigliere: Essentially Brother Sum's voice of reason and go-to guy for every task. Given the Axe Gang's western trappings, he's probably a literal Mafia Consigliere (or at least a Shanghai approximation). Dirty Coward: The most cowardly villain of the Axe Gang and of the entire film. The Dragon: He's the right-hand to Brother Sum, working as his personal assistant and is seldom seen away from his side until Sum is killed. Dragon Their Feet: After the Beast kills Sum, the advisor continues to assist in the management of the Axe Gang. Karma Houdini: Although happily participating in the criminal activities of his gang, he's never seen again after the Axe Gang confront Sing under the Beast's leadership, with no indication of his fate afterwards. Although considering he was in the overall viccinity of Sing's kung-fu rampage, it's probable he got his ass kicked off-screen. Laughably Evil: While despicable, he's slimy and cowardly enough to serve as comic relief for most of the film's runtime. Sycophantic Servant: Acts on Brother's Sum every whim (despite the occasional humiliation). And falls right in line when The Beast takes over, doing the same for him. Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: The laughable coward to his boss's more foreboding menace. ff782bc1db
