21 January 2006 | by (Sweden) – See all my reviews

Actually the movie had shown me a brilliant inspirational History in China within the Qin Shi Huang's tomb. Many Archaeologist could not prove the true fact of History within the eternal life medicine and the palaces that had burnt when the established of Western Han Dynasty. I give a big applause to Stanley Tong and Jackie Chan for their inspirational in this movie. They gave a heroism spirit to all of China people, they should be proud of their history and cultures. History taught us about to give a respect ancestor and where we are come from. In the future, I hope I could see more heroic and historical China movies. Best wishes to of JCE Production
