Ying xiong movie

A series of Rashomon-like flashback accounts shape the story of how one man defeated three assassins who sought to murder the most powerful warlord in pre-unified China.

The movie tells the story of his conversation with the King of Qin, and the flashbacks depicted the journey he took to earn the honour of sitting before the emperor.

Miramax owned the American-market distribution rights, but delayed the release of the film for nearly two years. It was finally presented by Quentin Tarantino to American theaters in August 27, 2004.PlotIn ancient China, before the reign of the first emperor, warriors from the seven warring kingdoms plot to assassinate the ruler of Qin, the most powerful faction. When a minor official, an orphan who was not even named, defeats these assassins, he is summoned to the palace to tell Qin the story of his surprising victory.Nameless (Li) tells the King of Qin how he defeated Sky, Flying Snow and Broken Sword, who ten years ago swore a pact to kill the King. His Majesty has lived in such fear of them that he has not taken off his battle armor for the entire time, nor had a restful nights sleep, nor had an attendant within 100 paces of him (until now). Thus, when presented with the weapons of his dreaded foes, he is understandably pleased—but just as understandably skeptical.
