Aces Go Places V The Terracotta Hit is the last in a series of films which were in many ways a watershed in Hong Kong Cinema. The Aces Go Places series established, once and for all, that chop-socky wasn't all the little island colony was capable of producing. Instead the series offered action comedy complete with master thieves, bumbling detectives, clever gadgets, killer robots, and international intrigue. But then, in a bit of a turnaround, the last movie in the series features chop-socky anyway.

This movie is so long it was released as two seperate movies in some markets. It is the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Han are rising ascendant, and Gong Li is there.

Clocking in at nearly three hours, this is a biopic to rival The Ten Commandments. I kept looking for Yul Brenner but he never showed. A classic.

Ching Siu-Tung
Director Ching Siu-Tung's hard to find epic manages to both entertain and annoy, often simultaneously. This action-adventure love story story begins in the Qin Dynasty but ends in the 1930's, and once again, Gong Li is there.
