The Butcher, The Chef & The Swordsman (2011) (DVD) (US Version)
Wuershan carves his name in a bold new chapter of Chinese action cinema with nothing but a kitchen knife! The innovative commercial and MV director makes his film directorial debut in The Butcher, the Chef and the Swordsman, a subversive swordplay comedy that has earned critical acclaim for its captivating storytelling and flashy visual style. Backed by 20th Century Fox and Mr. & Mrs. Smith director Doug Liman, the pioneering movie screened in the film festivals of Toronto and Pusan to overwhelming critical acclaim, with some even calling it “the Pulp Fiction of wuxia cinema”. Japanese actor Ando Masanobu (Battle Royale), Mainland actress Kitty Zhang (CJ7), and veteran TV actor You Benchang star in three storylines interlinked by a legendary cleaver, which sets in motion a chain of unexpected events that will change the destiny of everyone involved.
Despised butcher Shao San Liang (Liu Xiaoye) is smitten with beautiful courtesan Madam Mei (Kitty Zhang), but his confession of love is met with outright rejection. Roundly humiliated by a fellow suitor, Shao vows to slay him like a pig… Renowned midget chef Ba Da Chan hires a mute (Ando Masanobu) with extraordinary culinary talent as a kitchen hand for his restaurant, not knowing that he is there for revenge… In a bid to become the ruler of the martial world, ruthless swordsman Dugu Cheng (Xu Chong) robs his father’s grave for the greatest black iron ever, with which he enlists reclusive blacksmith Fatty Tang (You Benchang) to make the world’s most powerful sword for him….
