Over deze film

At the beginning of the 20th century, China is in a state of crisis. The country is split into warring factions, the citizens are starving, and recent political reforms have made matters worse, not better. The ruling Qing Dynasty, led by a seven-year-old emperor, is completely out of touch after 250 years of unquestioned power. With ordinary citizens beginning to revolt openly, the Qing Dynasty has created a powerful, modern army (the New Army) to quash any rebellion. But weapons are expensive, and desperate for cash, the Qing leaders are trading anything they can get their hands on with foreign countries and selling China's future in the process. Huang Xin (Jackie Chan) has recently returned from Japan, where he has studied the art of modern warfare. When he finds his country falling apart, he feels he has no choice but to pick up the sword, leading an increasingly desperate series of violent rebellions against the powerful Qing Dynasty and the New Army several with tragic.

An extremely good movie!! Jackie Chan really did a superb job, he was the glue, he filled it from the beginning to the end. Not your typical Jackie Chan kind of movie, which I was looking for. I have seen it about four or five times... I rate it in the same way as the " The Admiral and the Roaring Current / Ipmam 1&2"

Good movie and historically accurate, wish that jackie had done his own voice over tho in english

Jackie Chan...Amazing
