On the China coast of the 16th century, the persistent scourge of invading Japanese pirates had grown beyond the capacity of overwhelmed military commander Yu Dayou (Sammo Hung) to deal with... and he grudgingly watched as the Ming Dynasty turned to the ambitious strategist Qi Jiguang (Vincent Zhao) to end the threat. Can he make good on his gambit to rally the oppressed civilian populace as his new army? Intriguing historical actioner co-stars Regina Wan, Yasuaki Kurata, Keisuke Koide. 128 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Mandarin; Subtitles: English. In Mandarin with English subtitles.
