An adventure-comedy written by and starring Jackie Chan, set during the Warring States Period of China.
Qin forces blast away a 200-strong Liang army. When the dust settles, only two survive: an old Liang foot soldier (Chan) and a young Qin general (Wang Leehom). The soldier takes the general hostage and heads back to his homeland where he can collect a plot of land as reward for his captive. Along the way, the squabbling pair are begrudgingly forced to fight side by side as they become hotly pursued by a Prince (Steven Yoo) and his heavies, an assortment of opportunistic peasants, marauding nomads and wild animals.
I apologise, we feel bad, but there's no trailer available. ~Ed.
Having seen the film, on 14th Feb 2010, I give it an A+. The whole Jackie Chan-Wang Leehom team up is worth the laughs, the tickets, the entertainment and of course, worth watching from start to end. Lastly, I would highly recommend this movie to any Jackie Chan or Wang Leehom fan in New Zealand
Although there is a fair bit of action, this is not a martial arts film. It is a buddy road movie that happens to include a bit of martial arts. Chan still kicks ass, but if you’re expecting to see him as the Drunken Master, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Thursday, 11th Feb 2010.
