The Pig, The Snake and The Pigeon[a] (Chinese: 周處除三害) is a 2023 Taiwanese black comedy action thriller film directed and written by Hong Kong director Wong Ching-po.

Starring Ethan Juan, Ben Yuen, Chen Yi-wen, Gingle Wang, Lee Lee-zen, and Cherry Hsieh, the film revolves around a dying and fame-seeking hitman (Juan) who endeavoured to eliminate the country's two most wanted criminals (Yuen and Chen) before his own demise.

Four years later, Dr. Chang, an underworld doctor, approaches the long-hiding Kui-lin and informs him that he has stage IV lung cancer.

Suspicious, Kui-lin goes to His Holiness's private quarters and discovers a secret trapdoor leading to a lavish apartment, along with a room filled with the confiscated possessions of the society's members.

Also appearing in the film are Troy Liu as Goldie, a young gangster who idolizes Chen Kui-lin;[7] Peggy Tseng as Hsiao Hsiang-hsiang, Bullhead's mistress and second-in-command;[8] Huang Di-yang as Brother B, a loyal acolyte of Your Holiness;[9] and Yu An-shun as a deceased man whose identity was stolen by Bullhead.

[12] In 2011, Hong Kong director Wong Ching-po came up with the story concept for The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon, originally envisioning it as a road movie set in Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea, with different characters and locations compared to the final version set in Taipei, Taichung, and Penghu.

[13] After producing Once Upon a Time in Shanghai in 2014, Wong found himself lacking fresh filming ideas centered around Hong Kong, leading him to relocate and join productions in Taiwan.

[19] Lee Lee-zen, Cherry Hsieh, Peggy Tseng and Yu An-shun were later revealed to be part of the cast through the official trailer released in August 2023.

[20] Wong Ching-po created the character Chen Kui-lin, drawing inspiration from real-life gangster Liu Huanrong.

[14] He specifically selected Ethan Juan to portray the role, considering his similar vibe and charisma as demonstrated in the 2010 film Monga.

[23] Principal photography occurred during the summer of 2022,[24] primarily in Taichung,[17] with Lyu-Chuan Canal and Jingming Commercial District being among the locations used.

[25] The film crew rented an empty shop on Jingming 1st Street for NTD$150,000 and renovated it into the set of Hsiao-mei's hair salon.

[31] Upon its release in March 2024, it quickly rose to the top of the box office in Mainland China, grossing approximately RMB$417,000,000 (NTD$1,820,000,000) by the first weekend.

[4] Han Cheung of Taipei Times appreciated the film for its compelling character study, highlighted by Ethan Juan's great performance, and the intriguing approach to the gangster genre which avoided excessive reliance on action scenes.

[34] John Lui of The Straits Times, offering a rather negative review, criticized the messy narrative, abrupt tonal shifts, and the absence of stylish visuals that could have complemented the film's dark themes.
