Unknown to Pocky Zhang, Bangde Ma is himself an imposter and hijacked the identity of the former mayor. Furthermore, the chameleon like Ma lies to Zhang that he is only the town's counselor Zhang. Meanwhile, Zhang, hellbent on making a fast buck, takes Ma with him and descends upon Goose Town under the guise of being the town's new mayor.

I loved this film. So incredibly funny, though ok, it was exaggerated and cartoony at a few parts. Doesn't make it less funny though. Kinda reminds me of Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle, but less ridiculous and more ironic and satiric. Jiang Wen, Ge You, Chen Kun and Zhou Yun were great. :)
