The Boxer Rebellion is one of the most overlooked and forgotten major events in history. The entire story would make a great TV miniseries.

55 Days at Peking, such a great and underrated movie. Back when all the major powers fought together, side by side. That would be broken just 5 years later in the Russo-Japanese War.

This movie and The Sand Pebbles are the only two movies I know of which address the involvement of the US military in China prior to WW 2.

I saw this movie in Newcastle, Wyoming the night after John F. Kennedy was killed. Great movie, but always associated with that sad day!

@@Great_Sandwich I think my dad wanted to just give us something else to think about. I had a full understanding of this event! I had ardently supported Kennedy’s presidency mainly because of his charisma and my hero worship after hearing the PT 109 story. I was busted up over this!!! To this day whenever I swim breast stroke I think of Kennedy towing his burned man 3 miles by a life jacket strap!

I don't think one wrong term is enough to discredit a whole movie, but in this case the movie is not very good so.

“I’d make that deal” 😉

I haven't seen this movie. I believe, that Charlton Heston and other actors have better films in their portfolio

When he says highly cultured he means that. China during those times did not take kindly to insults or law breaking and would give what we would consider harsh punishments to them. They have numerous societal norms that would put Japan to shame. They nation thrived for a long time and only ended after Western interference which weakened the influnce of the government allowing the revolutionaries to take over.

lol this movie was trash
