Red Cliff Official HD Featurette with John Woo

http://redclifffilm.com/ NOW on VOD and In Theatres 11/18. Legendary action-cinema master John Woo and international superstar Tony Leung reunite for the first time since the 1992 classic HARD BOILED in RED CLIFF, the epic historical drama based on a legendary 208 A.D. battle that heralded the end of the Han Dynasty. RED CLIFF opens as power hungry Prime Minister-turned-General Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) seeks permission from the Han dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound mission designed to crush the two troublesome warlords who stand in his way, Liu Bei (You Yong) and Sun Quan (Chang Chen). As the expedition gets underway, Cao Cao's troops rain destruction on Liu Bei's army, forcing him into retreat. Liu Bei's military strategist Zhuge Liang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) knows that the rebels' only hope for survival is to form an alliance with rival warlord Sun Quan, and reaches out to Sun Quan's trusted advisor, war hero Zhou Yu (Tony Leung). Vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao's brutal, fast-approaching army, the warlords band together to mount a heroic campaign unrivaled in history that changes the face of China forever. A massive hit in Asia and the most expensive Asian film production of all time, RED CLIFF is a breathtaking war epic that marks the triumphant return of John Woo.

The original movie consists of two parts, each taking up more than 2 hours. The American version has cut off about half the length to make it into one movie. :(

just to point out:

the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms was a pseudo-historical novel written in the 16th century. Most of the popular "3 Kingdoms" related franchises are based on that novel.

The real history of the 3 Kingdoms was similar, but not exactly the same as what you see in, say, this movie.

there is actually battles between Romans and Chinese In 36 BC, a Han China trade expedition defeat Roman legionaries at the Battle of Sogdania. The cause of the overwhelming defeat was thought to be that the crossbows used by the Han Chinese easily penetrated through Romans' shield and armour. However, some historians considered that those Romans were POWs captured by Parthians, who later put them on the battle against the Han Chinese. Romans fighted until the last man.

@muaythai4ko

sheesh you need a history lesson. if you can't relate what i'm stating then there's no point in trying anymore

[muaythai4ko]

@spearman789 again.. ur idiot! keep jumping around w/ random facts again! Can't you stay focus in a conversation?

[spearman789]

@muaythai4ko

lol you need to read more history. mongolians didn't conquer so much if they were easy to fight against dude. how do you fight an army of horsemen that hits and run on open plains?you can't touch them. the great wall of china was built because of how hard it was to fight them. please read my original post carefully. i stated that the huns weren't really the huns anymore when they went to europe. they were westernized. they were hugarians, not huns anymore so don't bother compare.

[muaythai4ko]

@spearman789 who said huns were hard to fight against? and How that in relations to how the Roman weren't effective as the hun?

[spearman789]

@muaythai4ko

i'm giving facts about why the huns were hard to fight against and that every country in the ancient world had trouble. second i stated the facts why romans weren't weaklings like you've assumed. i don't see how you can see it as random facts.
