This is probably the wrong place, I had considered putting this thread on fantasy or adventures in the far east, but here goes.
If you are keen on odd 18th century skirmishes I've just seen a DVD called "The Iron Mask", Jason Flemyng, Jackie Chan, Schwarzenegger, and an assortment of Russians and Chinese in a story featuring a dragon, tea, cossacks, Peter the Great, and some bizarre 18th century style mechanical contraptions.
It's a sequel to "Viy/Forbidden Kingdom" (based on a Gogol story) which sees Flemyng drawing maps in the Carpathian mountains.
