war scene. I like fighting too. But that was not the essence of the book or the film and it all worked IMO. Anna Sawai was great.

I highly suggest anyone into the Asian vibe consider watching Giri/Haji and Tokyo Vice (more modern tales involving Tokyo). I loved Warrior as well for a stateside Asian historical tale.

I agree with the suggestion below to do Tai Pan as an 8-part series (not as a 2 hour movie as tried before).

I would appreciate suggestions on TV shows involving Asian settings and actors.

It had a head start. Clavell’s book is brilliant - sprack 2024-04-26 15:30:10
