Fight and Love with a Terracotta Warrior (Chinese: 古今大战秦俑情; pinyin: Gǔjīn Dàzhàn Qínyǒng Qíng; 1989) is a Chinese film about a forbidden love between a court lady and a soldier in the Qin dynasty that is reborn in the 1930s when the reincarnation of the girl who remembers nothing enters the grave of Emperor Qin only to find a still living ancient warrior.
Gong Li plays the female protagonist Twon, whose character much resembles Willie Scott from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and director Zhang Yimou acts as the terracotta warrior. Note that this is the only film where Zhang Yimou plays the leading role.
