Seizing the throne to kill the father emperor, the little prince Zhao was chased and fled, and the princess Liu Yifei fled with them. They had to cross many dangers to meet the generals on the other side of the border. They were chased and killed in various ways on the way. Homeless - Akon, Akon is played by Hayden Christensen.

The biggest celebrity in the movie is undoubtedly Nicolas Cage. Cage has been starring in various B-level films over the years. His appearance has reduced the Hollywood flavor of "Desperate Escape" a lot, and the film has come here, probably the audience They also adapted to the bizarre situation in which everyone from the crusaders to the Chinese princesses spoke English.
It seems that the films co-produced by the East and the West are all going this way. The Chinese in "The Last Samurai" and "The King of Kung Fu" are all speaking Chinese. The environment is full of martial arts and samurai sense, but the plot and language logic are extremely American. Yes, discomfort seems to be gradually becoming the norm.
