There are a lot of Chinese elements in "Three Guns Surprise", oil noodles, duet, Great Northwest and so on have made this remake of the film Chinese, but in the story, "Three Guns Surprise" is like an undeveloped child, playful character performance and jumping narrative techniques not only did not cover up the bad plot, but became a new criticism
[15]
.
(Tianjin Daily Review)
The film further dilutes the connotation of the original film. The mix and match of the film's costumes, shapes and characters' language make its historical background impossible to grasp. The story space is placed in an isolated inn in the mountains, and the lively society is also cut off. Stripped of social relevance, the film is left with only content-free body and language teasing, non-expressive gorgeous dazzling shots to meet the audience's superficial entertainment needs
[16]
.
(Jiefang Daily Review)
The film is defined as "funny farce", let alone whether it is coordinated with the thriller and black humor of "Blood Maze", the folk style of "trouble" led by Zhao Benshan is completely not controlled by Zhang Yimou, so in any case, it can not jump out of the pattern of duet and sketch, "Three Guns Surprise" is like a stretched sketch
[17]
.
(Chongqing Evening News review)
"Three Guns Surprise" is an absurdist historical theme on the surface, in fact, careful consideration, the film implies domestic violence, extramarital affairs, unpaid wages, collusion between government and business and other social realities
[18]
.
(Chengdu Evening News review)
In 2014, Zhang Yimou sued New Picture, the film's producer, to the court for 15 million yuan because of the revenue distribution of the film. On September 15, 2015, the Beijing Chaoyang Court made a judgment of the first instance, and New Picture company paid Zhang Yimou 15 million yuan of the box office share of the film, while bearing legal costs of more than 110,000 yuan. After the verdict, Zhang Yimou's side made it clear that it would not appeal, and the new picture company said it would appeal
[19]
. On April 7, 2016, the Third Intermediate People's Court of Beijing made a final judgment on the case, revoking the judgment of the first instance, and ordering the new picture company to pay Zhang Yimou a share of more than 2.46 million yuan
