Debuts on DVD June 29
Jet Li stars in the lavish and heroic tale The Warlords, arriving on Blu-ray Disc and DVD June 29 from Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet Releasing Label as part of the Six Shooter Film Series.

Set in the midst of the Taiping Rebellion of the 1860s, the magnificently engrossing film was a massive critical and commercial success in China. Starring Jet Li (The Mummy 3, Hero), Andy Lau (House of Flying Daggers) and Takeshi Kaneshiro (Red Cliff, House Of Flying Daggers), The Warlords tells the story of General Pang (Li), a battalion commander who barely survives a brutal massacre that leaves all of his fellow soldiers dead. Pang joins a passing group of bandits led by Er Hu (Lau) and Wu Yang (Kaneshiro) and helps them defend a helpless village from attackers. The three men swear an oath to become “blood brothers,” pledging loyalty to one another until death. Pang then convinces his brothers to join him in the army to earn an honest living, but things quickly derail when they become embroiled in a web of political deceit and a love triangle between Pang, Er Hu and a beautiful woman. |
