The Treasure Hunter is a 2009 Taiwanese action film directed by Kevin Chu and Ching Siu-tung, starring Jay Chou, Lin Zhi-ling, Eric Zhang and Chen Dao-ming.The northwestern desert of Mongolia holds an ancient mausoleum in its sands filled with treasures and riches. The wandering drifter and adventurer, Qiao-fei (Jay) got his hands on part of a treasure map leading to the tomb, but is also stuck with the kidnapped Lan Ting (Lin Chi-ling), the daughter of Qiao's mentor, in the middle of a desert. Joining a crew of treasure seekers including the money-hungry Pork Rib (Tsang) and Master Hua (Chen), a former adventurer of a failed expedition, the treasure hunters will have to battle against rival treasure seekers, desert marauders, traitors, and brave the booby-trapped mausoleum. | |

Faceless Goons | |
| Treasure Hunter / int_2044af1 | comment |
Faceless Goons: Deliberately invoked; plenty of desert bandits (whose faces are never revealed due to their sinister-looking masks) die in the desert chase scene, either by shotgun or dynamite, yet audiences are never supposed to feel anything for them other than to view them as body-bag fillers, because of this trope. | |

Booby Trap | |
| Treasure Hunter / int_2da1421 | comment |
Booby Trap: Plenty of underground traps await intruders in the mausoleum, including razor-sharp discs, acid, and mind-warping poison that turns victims into mindless beasts. | |

Cigar-Fuse Lighting: During the desert chase sequence with the desert raiders in pursuit, Pork Rib finds a sack full of dynamites at the back of the jeep, but couldn't find a lighter. Master Hua, from the driver's seat, hands his lit cigarette to Pork Rib telling him to "blow those bastards up". | |
