However, after completing their missions, the bombardment air craft pilots had to bail out at the coastal areas near Zhejiang due to a shortage of fuel.

Veteran Danish director August (1987’s Pelle The Conquerer) has presented a well-meaning, flat film which also feels somewhat unfinished - although there’s not much in here to suggest that a further reworking is merited. Read full review

The "real" locations were beautiful, but since the movie was produced in association with the Chua'an Thousand-Island Tourism Commission (any misspelling was unintentional), I'm not surprised. Seems that might've been the point of the movie, depict parts of China as beautiful. In that respect the movie succeeded, which is why I didn't give it 0 stars.… Expand
