Let the Bullets Fly
"To the end of horizon,"
"four corners of Earth,"
"scattered one's true friends"
"A bottle of wine for remaining joy,"
"as sun sets among the mountains."
Brilliant...
Counselor!
You prefer the food or my singing?
I love them both!
Outstanding!
Brain and brawn have helped me far,
that's why I am so unique!
One must learn to live in style!
Governor, with your style and poise,
you remind me of...
a modern-day Robin Hood!
Bullshit!
Robin Hood is a common thief!
With Samson's might and Solomon's wisdom!
- Bullshit! - Yes, bullshit!
Counselor,
if you're trying to flatter me,
you must first woo my wife!
Compose a poem in her honour.
It must have a tempest, food,
a hotpot, some mist,
pretty maidens, and a mule!
Get up!
Let's eat, sing and be merry!
Sir, we are the elite Republican Guards,
here to ensure your safe passage!
We-
don't - need -to - eat!
You missed?
Let the bullets fly...
Two and Three come with me.
The rest round up the horses.
Raining hot pot?
Pop, we've looked all over.
There is absolutely nothing!
Should we just kill the two survivors?
Or I'll out off your head,
when the alarm goes off.
Stop it!
Tears won't stop it from ticking.
You'd better come clean with them.
Who might you be, ma'am?
I'm the Governor's wife.
Forgive my impudence.
So you must be the Governor.
Yes, of course! There's money!
We're on our way to inauguration.
He ruined it all by getting drowned!
But we can still hit jackpot
if we take his vacant post.
I'll give you another chance. Tell me more.
$200,000...
- Where is it? - Bought the post with it.
- What for? - To make more money.
- How much? - Twice as much.
- How long will it take? - A year.
I've to wait one year?
A month, if you're in luck.
- Who will be the governor? - Me.
- And who might you be? - I'm a counselor.
You dare to impersonate the Governor?
They've never met him.
- Done this before? - Twice a year.
- Since when? - Eight years ago.
You've made more than $6.4 million?
That's what the "Governor" made.
I only get the small change.
Ever failed?
We use our brains, not brawn.
Where are you heading to?
Goose Town.
How do you explain the hold-up and the bodies?
I bought the train and hired the soldiers.
No one will ever find out.
Don't take it off! Leave your mask on!
I know the rules.
No one lives after seeing a bandit's face.
Just wait here for me.
I'll bring you the money once I have it.
We came to rob a train,
we can't go empty-handed.
No, you can't.
If you die for peeking at me...
That's even worse.
Yes. These bullies deserve no better.
But what do you want to do with them?
They can be more useful than the living.
Take a look at me.
Look at me!
Just one look!
- What's your name? - I...
- What's your bloody name? - Tang.
I'll be the Governor,
and you'll be my counselor!
Let's go and rule Goose Town.
Ma'am, coming with us?
Well, why not?
Brothers, let's move on to Goose Town!
Goose Town here we come!
We've messed up badly.
End up drowning your husband.
I feel bad about it.
I've already been widowed four times.
Don't let there be a fifth time, then!
That's all up to you.
What's important for a couple?
In love.
I can't hear you.
In love.
Six, come greet your Mom.
I wish you well, Mother.
You bring your son to battles?
His father was a comrade. Died in battle.
So I adopted him as my god son.
Now you're my mother.
After we're done with Goose Town,
you must come and join our gang.
Then you can continue to play mother.
After serving as county governor,
I can't return to banditry.
I won't be able to handle it.
Once you've scaled Mount Everest...
Such eloquence!
Then what should we do?
"Bring him back from the front for a laugh!"
We can continue to be civil servants!
Use your brain, not brawn.
Think twice before you make a move.
Got it.
Counselor!
We're government officials now.
We can't act like bandits!
What is a good governor's virtue?
Forbearance.
"Goose Town"
You've escaped once.
Try this one more time...
You'll have me beheaded!
Let's go!
City girls are so fair and delicate!
"Wanted, Dead or Alive!"
Pop, look!
Look what they've made of you!
The less it resembles me, the safer I am!
Welcome, your honour!
Appointment Warrant!
Ma Bangde is appointed Goose Town Governor
by authority of the Provincial Chairman,
on this 28th day of February,
the 8th year of the Republic...
Master Huang has arrived!
Greetings to Master Huang!
Huang Silang is the local godfather.
Made his fortune from opium and human trafficking.
Master is currently engaged.
So he sends his majordomo, Hu Wan!
And his militia coach, Wu Zhichong!
To welcome you, sir, with his hat!
Who dares win!
Do you dare?
He's here, sir.
Who's here?
Yourself!
Long live Master Huang!
Greetings from Yang Wanlou !
A remarkable fake!
A remarkable fake!
Take a few steps.
Walk purposefully.
Purposefully...
Walk with spirit.
Spiritedly...
Walk pensively.
Pensively...
Why isn't she afraid?
She must be daft.
Know why we shot these bandits?
It's because they ambushed the Governor.
Let this be a lesson to all!
Never mess with the Governor!
Hail the Governor!
Peace and justice is here!
Great speech!
Remember what I told you?
The dead can be really handy.
You're absolutely right.
Such arrogance!
He's trouble.
A show of force!
This one is a tricky customer!
Should we strike first?
No hurry.
Let's toy with him.
No hurry, let's toy with him!
Cut it out!
Cut it out!
Cut it out! Cut it out!
Cut it out...
Cut it out!
Cut it out!
Cut the bloody hell out!
Butler!
Yes sir!
Take him to the dentist.
Fix him up with gold teeth like mine.
Yes sir!
Madam!
The reason I am here,
is to get rich,
not to get laid.
We share a bed,
but not our dreams.
Here's a pistol.
Just in case,
I overstep my mark,
shoot me between the eyes.
But if you have that urge,
then yours truly,
would be happy to oblige.
Let's sleep!
Husband and wife - even for a day...
I've always wanted to be a governor's wife,
and I don't care who the governor is.
So, brother, be my guest!
Your guest?
Go ahead!
You make me blush!
Well, do I?
Then I must oblige.
We're late!
Previous governors
have levied tax for the next 90 years!
So everyone has paid up to 2010!
We've come to the wrong place!
I like this town, though.
But people here have nothing left.
I never take from the poor.
Who are your victims, then?
The rich, of course.
Ever been a Governor?
No.
Listen carefully!
You have to devise ways to raise money,
Make the rich pay first,
townsfolk will follow suit.
Then reimburse the rich with what they paid,
and split the rest 30-70!
We only get 70?
No, the rich get 70.
We get 30 at Huang's discretion.
At whose discretion?
Him.
Him?
I come all this way,
only to become his running dog?
Correct.
