Trivia:

David Carradine entertained himself in between filming by watching the first four seasons of "Alias" (2001).

If you are not a poet , become a poem

The princess of a Chinese-style shogunate has to choose a husband for her wedding between a variety of prince's from neighboring nations. One of them is an elegant handsome white man who looks like an American from the East Coast. He has to compete with other tough men, but obviously he wins the Princess' heart.

But in fact he is not a prince but a fake! He wants to steal a valorous gem from the inside of the castle. With the help of Ting Ting he goes to success and fall in love. Ting Ting is beautiful and very pretty. She looks like an American from San Mateo County, California. The diversity of America is so great.

Americans of Asian ancestry are improving the country and making it even more interesting and fascinating.

David Carradine is another great American Actor from California. He is specially good in his role and I like him a lot for his talent of acting.

I recommend this movie for action, drama and pretty girls who fall in love with a handsome tall white man. But also for brave and strong Asian men who are making America great.
