I watched this film in a theater when it first opened. An impressive epic only partially historically accurate in its historical depictions–typical of an old school Hollywood epic. It’s still a treat to watch, despite it’s rather blatant semi-celebration of colonialism in China by the Major World Powers, including the U.S. Watched in the proper context, however, it’s entertaining and very well produced. Note the major Chinese roles are performed by white actors in typical Hollywood “yellow face,” pretty common practice in that long bygone era. This film would never be possible today.
Great movie. It came out a year before I was born, and ironically, I saw it for the first time by renting the video in around 1993-94 I recall, buying the video sometime later. Network TV, cable, or the local station late movie hadn’t aired it to my knowledge beforehand.

Fantastic movie, mix of action and history.. it made me read about boxers.
One of the all time 👍 greats,amazing cast
It’s a very good and well acted of the Boxer uprising
Colonial crap all around. Robert Wise did much better with the Sand Pebbles.
One of my favorites. The scene at the end where the international column arrives is awesome.
Just a glimpse into a significant historical event of the early twentieth century. LOVED his hero movies. Khartoum comes to mind.
Great film…loved that comment from the German ambassador…about David Nivens character that God must have been an English man
A favorite film. Great score..Dimitri Tiomkin!
Great film 👍
Great movie – totally historically rubbish but great fun nevertheless
Excellent film, have it.

Great movie that could never be made in today’s politically correct age.
One great movie
Great movie, even if they did have to smear the camera lens to hide Ava Gardner’s age
Seriously great movie . A classic with no super heroes .

Great action film. From an era of superb movies such as el cid and khartoom. Dont see these anymore. Great pity
Fantastic movie, indeed. And great actors play, Niven, Heston, Ava Gardner… Even those Chinese girl 🙂
Good story good acting. We were the good guys.
Enjoy El Cid and Fall of Roman Empire better, all Samuel Bronston productions, but still this particular flick had some good moments
Great movie, cinema greats in great cinema!
