Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of 2010s Chinese war films funded to reinforce patriotic narratives ahead of WWII anniversary commemorations.
The actual Hutou Fortress was one of Japan's last holdouts in Manchuria, with some defenders not surrendering until 1946 — two weeks AFTER Japan's official surrender.
