Movie Night: Bodyguards and Assassins
Written on March 15th, 2010 at 7:52 pm by Allison

Come for movie night with ARCC! ARCC will be showing Bodyguards and Assassins on Friday, March 19th from 6:00pm-8:30pm in PH100, accompanied by free pizza and your lovely board members, of course! The movie will be in Chinese, but we will have English subtitles.

Bodyguards and Assassins features an all-star cast including Donnie Yen (甄子丹), Tony Leung Ka Fai (梁家輝), Leon Lai (黎明), Jacky Cheung (張學友), Hu Jun (胡軍), and Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒).

Before Dr. Sun Yat-Sen can become the Father of Modern China by instigating the revolution of 1911 that overturns the Qing Dynasty, his life is almost cut short when he arrives at Hong Kong for a secret meeting to establish a united anti-Qing revolutionary front. In the distance of thirteen blocks, the one man Dr. Sun Yat-Sen who holds a nation’s fate must survive relentless attempts on his life with only five bodyguards, a group of ordinary men and women who actually possess extraordinary fighting skills. Against hundreds of assassins, these men must put their courage to the test in order to protect the hope of millions even if it means fighting to the death…
