Crazy Stone (疯狂的石头) is a 2006 Chinese film directed by Hao Ning. It is notable due to its immense popularity compared to its low budget shooting, as well as its lack of famous actors.

[edit] Plot
Crazy Stone revolves around three men who want to steal a precious jade stone, and a dedicated/desperate security guard who wants to stop them. However, there are actually two jade stones - the real one, and a fake. The three men end up accidentally returning the real jade and make every effort to steal the fake stone.
[edit] Quirks
Crazy Stone is unique in that the entire movie is spoken in various dialects, such as the Chongqing dialect and Hong Kong idioms. Also, there are many language-specific jokes relating to Chinese. For example, after the security guard bump into a BMW, the angry owner shouts that his car is a "Bie Mo Wo" (Chinese for "Don't touch me"), a deliberate misuse of the actual acronym.
The scene in which a black suited thief tries to steal the jade descending from the ceiling is a subtle reference to Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible movie.[1] and the last scene in which the security guard Bao Shihong fights the thief Mike in the elevator is a subtle reference to the ending of the famous chinese movie Infernal Affairs, where Yan is killed in the elevator.
