I have seen the movie for over more then 10 times and every time I discover new facts. The acting is very good, place it in time of history it is quite normal there was a mix of people (Russian, Englisch, Japanese etc..) living in that time in China in that area. Diane Lane does a good job! It is a mix of history and martial art here and there. About the nude thing it was very surprising to see that the assistant Yin of the mafia boss (Yuen Biao) was a girl. I like that scene and that girl is very very beautiful. Why we never saw her again? Strange.. For the rest the movie looks like a photo. Beautiful. It is also very nice to see the locations how everything was built. As I understand a lot of the scenes were made in Japan but yet you don't get the feeling that it is in Japan. The cast is very heavy with a lot of good actors.
