Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/两杆大烟枪

The story's structure was really sophisticated. At the beginning the audience may be a little confused when it started to introduce the background and the background, but soon you would be fascinated by the story. The several parallel clues developed spontaneously until the ending climax. This skill also imitated by some Chinese directors such as the well known "Crazy Stone" and "A Simple Noodle Story" by Zhang Yimou. In addition, the single colored style and British-accented dialogue also was kind of attractive.

非常精巧的故事结构设计。开头的故事背景介绍多少有点让人迷糊，但很快就能进入到故事中，多条线索平行发展，逐渐走向最后的大高潮。这个技巧后来也被中国国内的电影导演所模仿，譬如最著名的宁浩的《疯狂的石头》，还有张艺谋的《三枪拍案惊奇》。单一的色调和英式口音的对白别有一番吸引力。
