Hei pao shi jian (1985)

Hei pao shi jian: Directed by Jianxin Huang. With Zifeng Liu, Ming Gao, Gerhard Olschewski, Hui Ge. Engineer Zhao Shuxin likes playing chess a lot. Once during his business trip, he loses a black cannon chessman which leads to unexpected consequences for him.

“u0026quot;The Black Cannon Incidentu0026quot; is a very cautious attempt at political satire; while it extracts a few laughs from the spiraling misunderstandings caused by a mysterious telegram sent by a technical translator, there is also an awful lot of tedium, at least for this Western viewer.”
