Looking for movies that combine big battles with the pain of Chinese history? How about: The Warlords, with Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro; the rape-free Mongol, with Tadanobu Asano as Temujin/Genghis Khan; An Empress and the Warriors, with Donnie Yen, Kelly Chen and Leon Lai; and after being roughed up by Hollywood John Woo returns like a dove to its roost with, The Battle of Red Cliff, starring Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Zhang Fengyi. (watch out–horse-tripping and one shirt ripping).
