Bodyguards and Assassins

Qing authorities led by the dowager
Empress have dispatched assassins to
eliminate Dr Sun, however, and so the
two men recruit bodyguards to escort
him through the city during the hours
of his visit.
These bodyguards, many of whom have
only a vague notion who they are
protecting, include a fromer martial
arts master brought down by gambling
(Donnie Yen), a rickshaw driver
(Nicholas Tse), a hulking street
vendor (basketball star Mengke
Bateer), a lovesick beggar (Leon Lai-
ming), and the headstrong daughter of
an assassinated general (singer Li
Yuchun).
Outmatched in every way, the mtley
group risks everything to protect Dr
Sun and Li Yu-tang’s 17-year old son,
who acts as a decoy.
