'The Warlords', based on a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) story about the killing of General Ma Xinyi, is an epic about three blood brothers and their struggle amid war and political upheaval.

From the trailer, it looks like Takeshi is the modern type that had return from oversea (possibly Britain), Andy looks like a family man, and Jet looks like a rebel.

Can someone quote a summary of the story of the actual killy of General Ma Xinyi event?
Looks interesting, would love to know abit about it before watching the movie smile.gif

Well, if I am not mistaken the story is a remake of a 70's Shaw Brothers movie. I think its based during the Taiping Rebellion which nearly overthrow the Manchu's government until the the Ching Dynasty asked help from the western powers to quell the rebellion by setting up a modern army called "The Ever Victorious Army". OK enough of history, if this movie followed the old one, after the wars the three sworn brothers become generals and powerful in the government. At the end I think they fight each other because of a women. I forgot whether the women is the first brother or the second brother wife but basically one stole the others wife and killed him and the youngest brother came for revenge. Maybe this story will be different.

Hey, that doesn't sound bad at all -- its a great story indeed thumbup.gif

If my guess is correct (according to the trailer), then its gonna be:

I hope there's gonna be some special effects like in HERO (Jet Li).
Yes, I'm a huge fan of special effects and computer graphics movies thumbup.gif
