Red Buddhist Nun

I was approached yesterday on the street in Ouagadougou by a young lad hawking DVDs which had come all the way from Singapore. When he rifled through his stash of discs I noticed that he had one of my favourite films, and after a bit of good-natured haggling I bought it (my computer can play dvds). The blurb on the back cover is in Chinese and English.

Making fun of the English of non-English-speakers is cheap humour, I know, but the plot summary on the cover of this film is so delicious that I just have to share it. Guess the film:

Release on parole out still that not until 24 hours, red Buddhist nun is planning him and next one has planned from the prison. There are three rules: Anyone is not injured Any person who should not suffer this destiny is not stolen To do as if you it doesn't matter can lose. The criminal of this sly and has glamour begins the most complicated meticulous gambling house robs in the history. He has called together 11 experts between one night and includes the playing cards past master, and top level thief and one blows up expert. Their this dimension of plan from pulls adds this three gambling houses and robs away 1 5 thousand0 thousand dollars. This Buddhist nun's enlighten gram that the boss of these three gambling houses is elegant and merciless, the former wife of his by chance red Buddhist nun of appointment liver mosses silks. Robbing understanding is in progress at the same time with fiery boxing match. Pulls this dimension adds this does not sleep that the night is obviously more brilliant..
