Quote:
When a naïve young man (Shinichi Tsutsumi) and his lazy best friend attempt to rob a bank, they find another robber has beaten them to the punch. After the original robber and the best friend are killed the young man serendipitously gets the 80 million yen. But when he accidentally stabs an innocent hairdresser, a cause-and-effect situation quickly spirals out of control. Meanwhile, a trio of yakuza mistakenly kill a powerful mob boss. As their paths continue to cross, the story displays some interesting parallels about just-out-of-reach redemption and the unlikelihood of atoning for one’s sins, all delivered in a black comedy package.

Quote:
Following their collaborations on the international art house hits Red Sorghum and Ju Dou, director Zhang Yimou and actress Gong Li reteamed for this bigbudget fantasy. Stepping in front of the camera this time, Zhang stars as a Qin Dynasty chamberlain who makes the mistake of falling for one of the emperor’s concubines. As punishment, he is transformed into a Terracotta Warrior and awakens 3,000 years later, where he encounters an actress who is a dead ringer for the woman who captivated him so many years ago. Written by acclaimed novelist Lilian Lee and directed by Hong Kong action specialist Ching Siu-Tung (A Chinese Ghost Story), A Terracotta Warrior is a captivating combination of humor, adventure and romance. Zhang and Gong give winning performances, and their chemistry was no doubt heightened by the fact that they were also a couple offscreen at the time.

Letterboxd review:
★★★½ Watched by Aaron King 18 Oct 2014

Two men on an epic quest have endured some of the worst things possible that can be done to them. One guy gets a spear through his cheek, another gets stabbed in both of his legs by a spear which causes him to walk with crutches for awhile. Then one gets a beetle in his ear and has to have wax heated up and poured in it, then it looked like he stabbed the beetle in his ear. One has to have some of his leg cut off due to walking too much. One got attacked by a lion and almost gotten eaten. People have never lived until they have done an experience like this. These two men have endured a very rough friendship together to find what they are looking for.
