Prolific Hong Kong director Wong Jing takes the audience to a new kind of wild, wild west in the period wuxia comedy Treasure Inn. Wong's wuxia-style tribute to the Spaghetti Western genre features an action-packed battle of wits that breaks out over a priceless statue inside an isolated desert inn. Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung, whose pairings in Beast Stalker and Stool Pigeon earned various acclaim and awards, finally find themselves on the same side of the law as two lowly police officers who become heroes. While Tse plays it cool as the straight-faced, heroic martial arts hero, Cheung returns to his comedic roots with a hilarious comic relief performance that steals every scene he's in. In addition to Twins' Charlene Choi, Crystal Huang (The Road Less Traveled), Tong Da Wei (Red Cliff), and Kenny Ho (The Storm Warriors) in supporting roles, Treasure Inn also boasts old-school martial arts action choreography by Corey Yuen (Shaolin).
Young Master (Nicholas Tse) and Brad (Nick Cheung) are small-time cops with big dreams - to become members of the respected Gold Shield Constables. When a major murder-robbery case arrives on their doorsteps, their investigative skills raise the suspicions of investigator Captain Iron (Kenny Ho). Wrongfully imprisoned, Young Master and Brad escape execution thanks to the help of two beautiful swindlers (Crystal Huang and Charlene Choi). To retrieve the precious statue stolen from the murder scene and arrest the band of murderers, the heroes go to Treasure Inn, where they expect an annual auction of artifacts to attract the murders' mastermind. There, they meet inn owner Yue Linglong (Liu Yang), a mysterious scholar (Tong Da Wei), and other assorted shady characters that have arrived at the inn for the auction.
