I just saw this movie. It was one of the most jaw droppingly awesome things I have ever seen. In one scene a guy on horseback threw a spear through another guy, then grabbed the spear, pulled it through, and killed another three guys with it.
Plus it is possibly the first GOOD adaption of a video game onto film. Sure its based on the historical Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but at certain times I was sure I was watching Dynasty Warriors.
Has anyone seen this frikkin masterpeice other than me and the whole of Asia?

I've never seen it, but I really really want to. Thanks to the video games, I have this weird preoccupation with the ROtTK era.

I've been a huge RTK fan since childhood. Hell I am playing RTK8 as I write this.  I've been waiting to see this! Where did you see it? Also was it the full cut, or the western cut. The western cut is over 2 hours shorter.  |

I've actually been trying to find this movie for a while. It sounds f***ing amazing.
And FYI Cela, Dynasty Warriors is based off of Romance of the Three Kingdoms (The novel, not the game series). But you probably knew that.

The western cut is over 2 hours shorter. It was the Western cut, but they added some extra footage apparently. Once you get past the really overdone intro, it gets very cool. And as for Tank, yes, I knew of the Romance, one of the three stories that define China along with Journey to the West and... another. And I saw it at a Regency theatre in Costa Mesa, Fandango helps with these things. |

The third one is probably The Water Margin. aka what Suikoden is based on. Good guess. Also they're called The Four Great Classical Novels. The last being Dream of the Red Chamber. Although so still consider Jin Ping Mei to at least be the fifth if not the fourth. |
