Crazy Stone is uncommon in that the entire movie is spoken in a mishmash of dialects, with Chongqing Henan dialect and various Hong Kong idioms used to great comedic effect. As is relatively common in Chinese humor, many jokes are puns or other plays on the language for example, after one of the main characters crashes into a BMW, the angry owner shouts that his car is a Bi M W , which means Dont touch me, a deliberate play on the actual initialism.The film also pays homage to or is influenced by a number of films, both foreign and domestic. The scene in which a black suited thief tries to steal the coveted jade stone by descending from the ceiling attached to a rope is a reference to Mission Impossible, for example. Similarly, one of the final scenes, which features a fight in an elevator, is a reference to the ending of the famous Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs. ........
