You remember how earlier this year, I posted
some breathtaking posters for
THE LADY GENERALS OF YANG FAMILY Chinese epic? Well, I now have the first trailer for the film which changed its title into
LEGENDARY AMAZONS. Hitting Chinese
cinemas next month it is set in the period of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the emperor neglected the political affairs, hence rolling border war. The war brought times of hardship upon the Xia country. Enemies invaded the Song's territory forcefully and all the male members of The Yang family were slaughtered. Unable to tolerate the pain and suffering, Mu Guiying, the wife of General Yang Zongbao decided to organize the Yangs's widows and lead them into the battle against their enemies... This lavish Asian epic produced by
Jackie Chan, will feature lots of different female characters from the Yang family including
their 100 year old Yang matriarch, and her daughters some of which are extremely wise, some know how to use a halberd, some are superb archers, some possess occult powers, some use embroidery needle as hidden weapon, some always have some inventive solutions.
