(A lot of spoilers in this article)
1. The characters are set
for a comedy effect, and the film designed two people with completely different personalities, the so-called "character contrast". In order to stimulate contradictions, to achieve dramatic effect. 2

2. The plot foreshadows the fact that
two people who were originally unrelated, lived in the same cell by accident. In the first 20 minutes of the film, the characters of the two people are portrayed, paving the way for the encounter between the two people and the conflicts that will occur later. Gangdan drove all his roommates crazy, and only had the opportunity to be in the same room with Ruby.
This part of the fast-paced editing is also a point to watch, which is fun and interesting.

3. Plot development The
real plot development begins when two people escape from the mental hospital. Ruby never cooperates, he just wants to kill Jamie and run away with twenty million. And Gangdan wanted to open a tavern with his good friend.
A series of events that happened on the way the two were fleeing together.
However, Ruby hated and hated Steel Egg, at least at first. So for the film to continue, there must be some external force that two people have to be together. This external force is the gangsters and the police who appear from time to time.
Ruby can't handle it alone, and the steel egg that appears in time can defuse the crisis. This forced them to be together.

4. The jokes set in the film

1. Gangdan wanted to rob a bank in the opening film, but he robbed a foreign currency exchange by mistake, and he didn't get a penny. One can't help but laugh at this unprofessional robber.
2. When Gangdan was chased and escaped by the police, he bumped into a man holding popcorn.
3. Every time Gangdan’s roommate attacked him, he was beaten violently by Gangdan. This also reflects Gangdan’s character characteristics.
4. In order to catch a fly, Gangdan splashed the psychiatrist's body and face with coffee.
5. In the hospital, Gang Dan sat on a hospital bed with an old man on his butt, but he didn't know it, and crushed the old man to death.
6. Gangdan really hit the wall in front of him as he told the psychiatrist. This is something that no normal person would do, and it just proves that he is a Gangdan.
7. As Steel and Ruby escape from the mental hospital, the two of them dangle and end up trapped in mid-air because the friend of Steel who was driving was drunk.
8. The onomatopoeia toys that Gangdan got in the toy store can make the sound of ewes.
9. When Gangdan and Ruby are about to hijack a car, the contrast between husband and wife is cute. And when the time is urgent, the silly steel egg still chats with the male host.
10. Ruby took back a lady's mobile phone from the gangster. The lady walked up to Ruby and was very grateful to Ruby, thinking that Ruby helped her get back the phone. However, Ruby walked away with the phone, leaving the lady alone.
11. Gangdan went to steal a car, but he stole a police car and came back.
12. Gangdan mistakenly mistaken the digestive medicine for jam.
13. At the end, we probably thought that the steel ball who got shot would die, because the movie is generally like this, and the movie creates a sad atmosphere, but it doesn't. Steel Egg was jumping up and down again, and we laughed too.

Final twist of the story:
Steel Egg understands what Ruby is going to do, and uses his cleverness to help Ruby. It started with a phone call from Steel Egg to Jamiler. At this time, for the first time, I feel that the fool Gangdan is smart, which is also the touching point set in the comedy.
At the end, it was the appearance of the steel egg that saved Ruby from danger.
