Even though there is quite a numerous amount of historical inaccuracies in this film when compared to others, it's definitely a must-watch for any Chinese history enthusiast

When the Chinese restaurant has a customer who doesn't pay

[kyledunn]

They need to make a film about Dan Daley who personally killed 37 Boxers in hand to hand combat during the 55 day siege at Peking. He won 2 Medals of Honor and nearly earned a third. The most badass NCO in the Marine Corps history.

As a kid I really enjoyed watching Charlton Heston films

As an ethnic Chinese it is bizzare to see 1) 0:07 The Boxer's flag wrote both "北京" (Peking/Beijing in Han Chinese characters) and "京都" (Jingdu/Kyoto, which is actually more commonly associated with Kyoto in Japan), and 2) 1:57 The Boxer actors were multiracial with some that were clearly White/Caucasian, and I know one major Boxer role was played by Milton Reid whose parents were from Ireland and India respectively. Not trying to be picky, just saying these anachronistic things make this movie much funnier than intended from nowaday's perspective LOL

Great movie if you’re into Chinese history, needs a remake.

Due to the total lack of available M1895 Lee Navy rifles, the US Marines in the film are instead armed with Lee-Enfield Mk I rifles.

Also, I love the fusillade @2:17

Tbh, it would've been a bit better if you included the "Here they come!" in the first few seconds of this clip. Nevertheless, the action is nice to watch!

[pufferfishy]

As a Chinese American, I expected 100% of these “boxers” to be played by non-Asians… I didn’t get a good look at them, but pretty sure they ain’t Chinese lol
