Review: ABSOLOUTE BRILLIANCE! - I have to start with the fact this blu ray has magnificent quality! it was my first blu ray and i definatly dont regret this buy! But as for the movie! well there isnt a single sentence to sum up this movie! for me this is now right up there in the top 10 movies of all time! definatly around #4! the acting is superb! very believeable! its not often you come across such an epic asian movie but this is beyond my expectations! This movie is based on the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and while it does follow the storyline to the exact detail there are some things that they have changed which i assume is to make it more dramatic and movie like! Tony Leung played his role as Zhou Yu perfectly and caught the very essence of Zhou Yu! and as for Takeshi Kaneshiro playing the great mastermind Zhuge Liang! it was such a delight watching this man in the movie, he is amazingly brilliant and again playing the character perfectly to the last detail! and my last favourite character was Nakamura Shido as Gan Xing! a funny yet hardened character in the movie! also playing the character perfectly! Even if your not a fan of these kinds of movies i would still reccomend it! i would even go as far as to say it is at some points a bit of a tear jerker! It is so fun watching this movie! I didnt even really notice it was a subtitled movie because i was so engrossed by it! it has fighting, gore, romance and intense relationships between friends/brothers/family! i hope John Woo creates another masterpiece such as this based around the warring states period! i simply cant stress this enough, BUY THIS BLUE RAY! YOU WONT REGRET IT! EPIC MOVIE! 10/10 oh and by the way, to those of you against "flying people" ITS A METAPHORE! Review: Epic Tale of an Epic Battle - This is the Special Edition of "Red Cliff", and by that, read "Extended Edition" - nearly 5 hours! The film is split in two to what I believe is the 2 original Chinese releases of this this, which was eventually contracted into one very long film for a Western audience. The film itself is amazing, with a plethora of varied characters which, to the unobservant Western eye, can be a little confusing to follow sometimes! Who exactly are the lieutenants and who are the generals? A 2nd watch of this film clarified things (but that's no hardship!). And the way the characters interact is great - Sun Shiangxiang and the innocent Piggy being one pairing, and the battle of wits between the two advisors, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, to out-do eachother is brilliant. The plot follows a bunch of rebels who join together with the Southern king against the Prime Minister of the North, who has plans of his own, aided by the largest army and navy that has ever been assembled. After a few skirmishes and clever planning, all the forces eventually gather at "Red Cliff" for a final showdown. Some may complain that the film is too long (being in two parts and all), but this really means that the film is filled with great depth and characterisation. The importance of the tea ceremony, and the tiger hunt have great symbolism with the actions of the rest of the film. The only negatives I'd have would be the CGI in the second half of the film. I know the battle is meant to be hundreds of thousands big, but Lord of the Rings detail this isn't. You can tell its a bit computer. But don't let that deter you from what is otherwise an amazing film! There is individual warrior scenes a la Crouching Tiger/Hero, but also large battle scenes, so plenty to whet the appetite. A must of Chinese cinema! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002GDM2RS | | Actors | Chang Chen, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Zhang Fengyi, Zhao Wei | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 12,963 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 348 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 426 in Historical (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (892) | | Director | John Woo | | Item model number | 5017239196478 | | Language | Chinese (Dolby Digital 5.1), Taiwanese Chinese (Dolby Digital 2.0), Taiwanese Chinese (Dolby Digital 5.1), Taiwanese Chinese (Surround), Thai (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Dolby, PAL, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 19 x 13.5 x 1.4 cm; 80 g | | Release date | 17 April 2019 | | Run time | 4 hours and 34 minutes | | Studio | Entertainment in Video | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Chang Chen, John Woo, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Zhang Fengyi, Zhao Wei - **Format:** Anamorphic, Dolby, PAL, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Historical - **Initial release date:** 2019-04-17T00:00:01Z - **Language:** Taiwanese Chinese ## Images ![Red Cliff (The Special Edition) [DVD] [2008] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ghw2g827L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLOUTE BRILLIANCE! *by K***Y on 30 April 2010* I have to start with the fact this blu ray has magnificent quality! it was my first blu ray and i definatly dont regret this buy!

Some scenes gave the impression that they were 3D it is that detailed. The story is good and will keep you entertained - even though it is about four and a half hours spread over 2 discs. Don't get the other version of this film as I understand that it is only 2 and a half hours long, so you will miss a lot. This is a John Woo film so plenty of action and all done on a grand scale - some of the overview shots are amazing. Ok the extras are lacking and the subtitles are burnt on, no dubbed English version, but don't let that put you off, if you enjoy epic films like this then don't hesitate - JUST BUY IT. Brilliant. I can only hope John Woo will make another film like this soon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68955799-red-cliff-the-special-edition-dvd-2008](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68955799-red-cliff-the-special-edition-dvd-2008) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
