TacKLed Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I've seen this movie. If I recall the only time the Soviets fought the Japanese was during the Battle of Khalkin Gol and then at the end of World War II when the Soviets wanted to land grab some territory before the armistice. But you're probably talking about the realism. The movie isn't realistic. At all lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squatdog Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 So what you're saying is that the Japanese tanks DIDN'T merge to form a giant robot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toblakai Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I saw this movie also. It's more a drama than a war movie. It should based on a true story, but I don't know how realistic the movie is. Found only this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Kyoungjong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwantung_Army 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
