Saw this great movie last week "War of the Arrows" (Korean) and it is about a Qing raiding party who massacre of family of traitors (probably a sub group or clan of the Qing, who are now traditionally Korean) and when they kill the leader of the clan, his children escape. The father, a archer (before he dies) tells son to go to his kinsmen to be protected. He learn archery. Years later, the same Qing raiding party comes upon the house of the kinsmen and the rest is the story.

Very interesting since archery, use of bow, types of bows (albeit in a Hollywood fashion) strength of the bow, etc. The martial arts sequences are muted as they should, since armies did rely on spears, swords and archery as their major weapons. Of course, later came the cannon, in many shapes and ranges!

**** of 5 stars for concept, originality and historical reference.
