i know this is an old thread, but this was a really really good movie. the fighting - WOW!! jet li and donnie yuen!! wassai!
kinda confusing tho, how they keep switching back from the present to past, but nevertheless flowing nicely. kinda unrealistic (all those arrows at the zhao place that jet li and maggie cheung were fending off) but a joy to watch. i kinda had a hard time understanding it tho cuz my chinese sucks as it is and they're using classical speech. i got the dvd from china, so there aren't english subtitles. there are chinese subtitles, but they're in simplified text, which i can't read -__-;; luckily i had my mom and uncle and aunt to translate for me, otherwise i probably would have muted it and watched the fighting ^^
the movie is a great movie i saw it in china.. and i didnt understand it untill i came back and my friend got the dvd.. it has english subs on it... ok.. the story thingy... it didnt switch back and forth.. ok its like this.. those 3 dudes right.. are in the kings most wanted list cause theres assassins.. and jet li said that he killed them.. and like when he meets the king.. he shows the sword of that one guy.. and as a award he gets to drink tea 10 paces forward to the king and have money and land and stuff.. then as he goes on... he tells a lie.. but the people watching dont noe its lie untill again after another kill.. he gets to move closer and drink tea with the king.... and the the king suddenly finds out that hes probbly lieing so he can get within 10 paces from the king so he can eaily kill him... so then the king tells the story how he believe it really hgappen... and then each story that was told the charactor wore the same color type of clothing.. anyways he then he tells the truth.. and then he dies
