[edit] New updates

I added a third link for this page. It shows that Ken Watanabe is not Cao Cao anymore, and lists Zhao Wei as the actress for Sun Shangqiang. This makes some of the information on this page obsolete, and I don't know how to update very well. Could someone update this? Thanks.

Updated. Thanks for the contribution! --Plastictv 12:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese v HK

It's really more of a "Chinese film" than a "Hong Kong film" - has anyone seen a stub for it? ~ Wave of Mutilation 03:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move (June 2006)

The Battle of Red Cliff → The Battle of Red Cliff (film)

The original title is too close to Battle of Red Cliffs, which is what the film is about. I just want to avoid any further confusion. I'm sorry for not doing adequate title research before creating the article. ~ Wave of Mutilation 03:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Moved --Henrygb 00:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Is there any way we can get a redirect from other searches for 'Battle of Red Cliffs', 'War at Red Cliffs', etc. with the (film) tag?

[edit] Inaccuracies

First the name should be Red Cliff instead of "The Battle of Red Cliff". Second Cao Cao will not be portrayed as a villian as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Refer to the link (in Chinese) here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 15.243.169.72 (talk) 03:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

Point noted about historical accuracy. i have read the linked article and i will note it in the article shortly. As for the film title, it is not yet determined as the film is far from complete. So i think we will stick to the current working title for now. --Plastictv 12:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

in ROTK, Cao Cao were portrayed less favourably than in history, he is clearly a better leader than Liu Bei (who is actually a much better general in real life than in story since all the good idea magically became zhuge's lol). Akinkhoo (talk) 02:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed this section

"According to a report, some Chinese fans voiced objections over the choice as they felt that it was inappropriate for a Japanese actor to play the role of a Chinese historical figure. The report claimed that the protests influenced the decision of director John Woo, who eventually chose Zhang Fengyi for the role"

This is totally unconfirmed. The link that was given for this information did not support this viewpoint. The current view is that Ken Watanabe never signed in the first place.

The reference says exactly what you quoted above, specifically in the second last paragraph. By the way, when adding a new topic in the discussion pages, or user talk pages, it is customary to place it at the bottom of the page. You could also use the + sign on the right of "edit this page" tab to add a new topic. Welcome to Wikipedia, and have fun. --Plastictv 22:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Leung Chiu Wai rejoining

Look here and here... seems he's back again. Are the given facts accurate enough to put it into the article? Sarazyn • TALK • DE 18:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

It's already updated. :) --Plastictv 07:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stunt Man Killed

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/06/10/woo.stuntman.ap/index.html

Stunt Man was killed on the set today. Someone added a sentence to the page but it should probably be reworded and sourced --Nephyrin (talk) 18:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
