Diskino will release He Ping's The Swordsmen in Double Flag Town on blu-ray as part of WCL collection. The film is an interesting mix of martial arts and western. This set is coming October 26th.

Extra on this film will be again, a Tony Rayns interview: Reinvent the Western in Chinese Terms: Tony Rayns on The Swordsman in Double Flag Town

GB already up at MP. No word yet but I assume another talk with Tony Rayns will be an extra.

Looks like someone at MediaPsychos forgot to pay the internet hosting bill.

How is this movie? Is this worthwile?

Best described as a "Western" I suppose.
Think Clint Eastwood type film but the protagonist is not the stoic silent type.

For the longest time, there was this one Mainland Chinese film that my junior high school teacher took us to watch at the local arts museum back in 1997 or so for a Chinese film festival program.

It was a grey-brown visually looking film set in the desert, with some wushu fighting action and characters eating horse meat. It was also a very slow film. And the horse meat. How can anyone forget about that?

Oh, we saw it on 35mm with English subtitles also.

But I never knew what the film was called but I do remember being just a so so film. Maybe because we were only about 12 years at the time.

Anyway, many years later in 2019, I see a thread on the forum and did a quick check on some random online server that has a ton of videos and low and behold, THAT movie I saw in my teenage years was "The Swordsmen in Double Flag Town".

Funny isn't it?

Perhaps I should re-watch it, eh?

^^I love this story! I’d pick it up if I were you, just for the nostalgia.

I had a heart attack @ a $161 invoice for this...but it's this + Wandering Earth in one.

apollo828 · 11-14-2019, 02:42 AM

Just got my invoice. US$65.50 + shipping. It's crazy that the invoice for that + TWE is so high! I guess that one is something like US$90? (I didn't order it.)
