the amount of silliness seeing a "siege tower rocket launcher" is something I appreciate. this scene gave me a good laugh
When Granin's ancestor is working for the Boxers, but Big Boss's is working for the Marines.
Not that unreasonable historically. Rocket artillery emerged in China and was prominent but unchanged until atleast the opium wars, (British steamers describe hundreds of black powder rockets firing on them from forts) the first multistage rocket came from Korea in the 1500s, the first Metal Cased from India in the 1700s, Asia always was good with rockets.

Well, rather a strange idea to combine siege tower with a rocket launcher. But at least it looked strange enough to be shown in the movie
Prayer works better with more powder.
I genuinely thought that was a siege tower.
Heston said in his autobiography that Ava Gardner would get drunker as the day progressed so they killed off her character so they could get her off the picture.
Novel use of Champagne bottles...great accent too...😅😅
It's weird how the Chinese way back then were the first to introduce rockets into service, yet they simply didn't improvise a working formula against foes when they entered the 20th century.
1st one nice vid ceep it up
Good movie!
Is this what they mean when they say "Chinese Fire Drill"?
A professional soldier never heard of a siege tower before... something that, I am certain even the Assyrians made use of. Maybe not rocket equipped ones, but it seems silly that a marine officer would have to consult someone else concerning an ancient siege device, as to what it is and how to combat it.
Cool hats.....very gregorian chanting....not the Kop at Anfield...😅😅😅
You're under siege, the enemy is hauling something towards you, you have clear lines of fire on enemy in the open...how brain dead do you need to be to keep letting them haul whatever they are hauling towards you to do whatever your enemy wants to do?
Kwetis😂
Take a bow!
