One of my top 10 movies. I was smart enough to buy on DVD a few years ago. Getting harder and harder to find.

This is why the Chicoms are after some pay back. They have long memories & have never forgotten what Britain did to them. Maybe they'll zap the Royal Navy carrier group in the South China Sea while invading Taiwan later this year. We live in interesting times. Keep ducking 🙉

What an imperialistic racist movie! I am sure Donald Trumps great grandparents were behind this movies release. Has to be related to Trump or his family somehow.........! What else is there left to talk about and who should be blamed?
