Exciting movie, flawed history September 20, 2007
I saw this movie while a mere tyke. Great action scenes, and a sober reminder of what happens when edged weapons meet modern firearms in pitched battle. The reality is also a little off, as Western troops met Chinese mobs at arms length distances - bayonet vs sword and spear - and beat them down. Nonetheless, the performances in the movie are outstanding and the production values are first rate for its class.

The subtext is a little off, like many such movies, which are made from a parochial viewpoint to appeal to the local (Hong Kong and Taiwan) market. Specifically, the trigger for the European invasion - not covered onscreen - is that the Chinese fighters portrayed in the movie were part of a cult funded by the Chinese Empress Dowager that slaughtered and dismembered 40,000 Chinese Christians together with hundreds of missionaries and their families. These days, it is considered completely acceptable for non-Western countries to do this to any foreigners in-country. At the time, it was a cause for war. And the rest, of course, is history.

I have to agree that this is one of Shaw brothers classic best. The movie has great cinematography. And the hundreds of people in this film, shaw spent some money to get this done. The fighting scenes are pretty realistic. One of the things about the movie is that the Princes is told that her boxers are winning the war, and that they have special boxers who are pugilists and they can stand against the foreign guns. As she believes this she sends out all of her best boxers to fight the foreigners. I wont say anymore but Alexander Fu Sheng and Chi Quan Chun are excellent in this film. Chi Quan Chun does an awesome Lung Fu Pai form in this film to die for. I studied this form many years ago and I took first place in a Kata tournament some years ago. This is one of my favorite Shaw brother classics. Get this one Today!

This action Pack film is set in 1900 China, at the height of the Boxer Rebellion. A group of fearless Chinese patriots ward off European Incursionists armied with little more than fists and flailing feet. Kung-fu proves no match for fiirearms, but it does slow the enemy downa great deal. Alexander Fu-Sheng and Li Li-Hua play the principal rules in this great film.
