The princess of a Chinese-style shogunate has to choose a husband for her wedding between a variety of prince's from neighboring nations. One of them is an elegant handsome white man who looks like an American from the East Coast. He has to compete with other tough men, but obviously he wins the Princess' heart.
But in fact he is not a prince but a fake! He wants to steal a valorous gem from the inside of the castle. With the help of Ting Ting he goes to success and fall in love. Ting Ting is beautiful and very pretty. She looks like an American from San Mateo County, California. The diversity of America is so great.
Americans of Asian ancestry are improving the country and making it even more interesting and fascinating.
David Carradine is another great American Actor from California. He is specially good in his role and I like him a lot for his talent of acting.
I recommend this movie for action, drama and pretty girls who fall in love with a handsome tall white man. But also for brave and strong Asian men who are making America great.

This is probably one of the best movies ever done and considering the low budget it is even more wonderful what a talented scriptwriter like Sylvester Stallone can do.
Although the movie starts with a fight, the whole story is about sacrifice, desperation and hope of a new life for a Philadelphia local guy of Italian-American ancestry called "Rocky" Balboa.
His struggle through life will inspire millions of people not only now but also in the next centuries. I learned when I saw this movie that freedom is the most important thing. Freedom brings opportunities for everyone and freedom allows anyone to take the opportunity and success.
Like Apollo Creed a smart American patriot says, America is the land of opportunity, so he decides to give a chance to an unknown boxer to fight for World Championship.
Rocky Balboa is a kind guy that when he falls in love with a shy woman he is able to be very sweet and gentle. He gives advice to any kid there is in the street and helps whenever it's necessary.
The characters of Paulie and Mickey are terrific. As well as Mr Gazzo, that makes one of the best performance in cinema history. And Talia Shire, what can I say, she does excellent. All four of them deserve the biggest congratulations for their important role in making this movie so great.
This is my favorite scenes' list:
1- When Rocky gets up a at 4:00 am and goes jogging through the frozen streets of Philadelphia. I can feel that terrible cold even when I watch the movie in summer.
2- When Mickey goes to Rocky's shabby apartment and offer him to be his manager and coach. That conversation they have between each other is one of the best things ever done in cinema history.
3- When Rocky starts walking alone in the street after he shouted: I assure you I'll break your thumbs!!!! when he was called "meat bag" by Mr Gazzo's driver.
4- When Rocky goes running through the alley where there is a crowd of people looking at him and someone throws an orange to him and Rocky takes it.
5- When after knocked down by Apollo he gets up with unbelievable stamina just because of his pride, his indomitable attitude, his strength, his determination to "GO FOR IT". And Adrian stares at him with a lovely glance.
All in all the soundtrack, the original music, is a masterpiece of modern art. Bill Conti, from USA, will be honored for ever by this phenomenal and brilliant music, during the training, the combat and the ending credits.
The smart patriotism of Apollo Creed, Rocky hitting the meat on TV, the shabby restroom with just a small piece of mirror... There're plenty of unforgettable details in this movie.
Finally I only can say that the best thing you can do is watch this movie.

As you may know already, this movie is based on facts. A faction of Somali militia that was hostile to foreign presence in Mogadishu murdered 24 UN peace-keepers. The starvation would kill 200,000 people.
The UN could only call for help to the USA, and at that time, Bill Clinton sent US Special Forces like Rangers, Delta Force and Navy SEALs to capture the leaders of the hostile militia.
When the US General Garrison had reliable information about Mohamed Farrah Aidid local allies' location, American soldiers went for them.
In the most brilliant direction work, Ridley Scott portrays a band of brothers overwhelmingly outnumbered, who end up fighting for life in the worst moments of the raid.
When you watch this movie, you cannot avoid feeling a deep connection to those young men, who keep heading forward to complete the job. Every detail in this movie is awesome. There's a time when you realize what heroism means- I'm talking about Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon. These two brave men payed the ultimate sacrifice just trying to rescue a pilot who's chopper crashed in a hostile area. They made it- Mike Durant, the pilot, is alive today. This is what I call American heroism.
After watching this movie I was speechless, stunned. Now, I respect more than ever American servicemen. Thankyou for all the good causes you have been fighting everywhere.
