A Simple Noodle Story (simplified Chinese: 三枪拍案惊奇; traditional Chinese: 三槍拍案驚奇; pinyin: Sānqiāng Pāi'àn Jīngqí), internationally A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop.[3] is a 2009 film directed by Zhang Yimou. Described as a cross between screwball comedy and thriller,[4] the film stars Sun Honglei and Ni Dahong in the thriller segment while comedians Xiaoshenyang and Yan Ni star in the comedic segment.
A Chinese remake of the 1984 American film Blood Simple,[5] the debut of the Coen brothers, the plot transports the original film's town in Texas to a noodle shop in a small desert town in Gansu province.[5] The film has been described as a considerable departure from the director's previous works.[6]
