Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted March 29, 2014 Member Share Posted March 29, 2014 The Empress Dowager 1975 Shaw Brothers. Does this movie have any kung fu action in it? GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted March 29, 2014 Member Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have not seen it but saw few weeks in net list of shaw kungfu/swordplay movies available on dvd and list looked extremely accurate. That was not in it... Catalogue I downloaded from celestial website does not list this among kung-fu movies either. That still does not mean there could be some fu in it.

Member bigrogie Posted March 30, 2014 Member Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's a drama. No kung fu, no swords, no action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Poelie Posted April 3, 2014 Member Share Posted April 3, 2014 GD YY: If you're really interested in the Empress Dowager you should check out the latest (non-fiction) book by Jung Chang: Empress Dowager Cixi. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it' s a really great read! I just finished the chapters on the Boxer Rebellion. What a mess that was...

Did you read my thread on the empress's body guard in General Discussion. Her main body guard was Ba Qua Master Yin Fu. Does the book speak of him? It would probably near the end of the book. My local library here in Minneapolis has a copy which I will get in a few days. Thanks again Poelie! Gd Y-Y GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Poelie Posted April 4, 2014 Member Share Posted April 4, 2014 So far no mention of him. By the way, if you have an ereader or tablet I could send you an epub version of the book. If so PM me with your emailaddress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
