In 1592, the Japanese Shogun Hideyoshi failed in his attempt to invade Korea (and later, China through Korea) -- this Hong Kong kung-fu thriller (dubbed in English) is loosely based on that historical incident.

Since the real Hideyoshi is not an issue, and kung-fu is the star of the movie anyway, historical narration does not overpower the action. Basically, the movie shows the Koreans fighting the Japanese against all odds -- but as everyone knows, that one Korean officer with the fast feet (not for running) is going to whomp the heck out of anything that moves and single-handedly send Hideyoshi packing. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
