It may take place in Manchuria, but it's certainly not BoB. I was hoping for more BoB.   :(

Takes place later, too, like early 1940s based on the weapons and music on the records.
Chinese? -Yes
Bandits? -Yes
Lugers? -Yes

That makes it BoB in my book ;)

Got mine free from the library. That way I didn't feel bad when I wasn't impressed by the film and turned the DVD into a terrain feature (that costs $10!)

It takes place about the time the Japanese started making inroads into China - so the mid-30's (IIRC.)

One of my favorite movies this year.

I saw it the other day .. great movie ...
"One of My Men Became Restless" focuses on 15mm Horse & Musket periods and 25mm Horse & Musket, Fantasy, Horror and Victorian everything! Occasionally there'll be stuff of related interest but it's mostly a painters blog.  See it all here: http://flashman14.blogspot.com/

Yeah but I conned her into buying me a couple of sculpts this weekend  ;)
So all is forgiven. I just need to work on her for a couple of years, or we could commission a Lead Adventure set we have enough great sculptors on these boards :)

I just watched the film and I love it.

 Figures based on the characters would be great, and setting games in the "Ghost Market" would be a hoot!

I found it utterly stupid and boring (except for the "weird" character part), with its abyssal climax reached when the "good" wipes out an entire japanese cavalry squadron and cars all alone while riding around and through with a winchester... too much for my cartesianism, and even not funny.

Anyway, for those who want to have a look and study languages, it is entirely seeable here (Korean subtitled in Chinese, yeah that's real BOB  :-*) :

I am afraid I agree with you. For me it doesn't even work as a humorous romp.

I have, all sketched out in my notebook full of such things, a cunning plan for a modular Ghost Market layout, based on 12"x12" tiles.

Likelyhood of it ever being built? Slender, but not nonexistant.

Every time I leaf past that page my fingers itch to apply razor to foamcore...

The movie itself is grand graphic nonsense, with all sorts of properly pulpy (ie, silly) bits. And visually inspiring, as witness all of us who dream of building a 28mm Ghost Market!
