Abstract:

Plot: "Set in Chongqing, this inventive low budget flick hinges on the unearthing of a valuable jade stone. This amazingly lucky find occurs inside a decrepit-looking factory which is scheduled to be sold off to a greedy Hong Kong developer... Realizing that the rare jade might be a way to get himself out of a dire financial predicament, the factory director arranges a public exhibition showcasing the rare piece of jade. To protect it from theft, the old man enlists Bao Shihong, a former cop-turned-factory worker, to handle security detail.

Pitted against Bao are two rival factions, both of whom are independently looking to snatch the stone out from under the new chief of security...

Crazy Stone is a breezy, energizing film, a low budget crime comedy that makes ample use of its meager resources to turn out something that's better than most mainstream Chinese language films."
