Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie considers itself to be a sequel to the 1975 "The Flying Guillotines", & " The Master Of The Flying Guillotine." At the beginning there is even a detailed explanation with blueprints, as to the evolution of the weapon.
- GoofsIn one scene where soldiers are firing muskets, bullets can be seen flying through the air, with and without a 'tracer' effect. As well as the fact that tracer bullets were not invented until the 20th Century, a bullet cannot be perceived in flight if fired from a gun at lethal velocity.
Featured review
I am not really sure why this movie is only rated at 3.9 over 10 points right now, but to myself, this movie opens up new light about what the country wants, may not be for the particular good of the people, but for sure, it will be for the good of the country itself.
And this applies for the king, the emperor, the ruler, or the people at power, or the companies at power, or the companies that make a lot of money and thus can be powerful (think junk food companies, for example).
So this movie does open up new lights for me, to be not so gullible.
The part about the guy hoping to have a small peaceful community, that seems familiar, although I can't recall at the moment which other movie has this. But I certain don't feel it is copy-cat, but is quite original and occurs naturally in the movie.
I would say, don't be swayed by the low score of the movie, but still give it a try and see for yourself.
