Oh yeah, there was a black guy (more than one even, I think) and even an ASIAN as a french guard.
Obviously stupid and not historically accurate.
But then again, they lampshaded that within the very episode that the Encore is messing up history (Napoleon partying and all) so I guess it's kinda explained away.

Do you know for sure that's historically innacurate?

I don't know about the Asian guard, but France had several colonies in the West Indies at the time, so they certainly could have brought back a few natives to work as palace guards. Originally Posted by j9ac9k

John friggin Woo!
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

It was a fun homage, but it's sad people mostly rely on the slo-mo parts of his directing style rather than the non-stop diving, shooting, bullets just missing choreography parts that were so exciting. Can people not stage those kind of sequences anymore? Originally Posted by Kirby101

I am sure they can, but it would take much more time and expense. On a show with a limited budget, I think they did a great job doing a Woolike scene. Originally Posted by j9ac9k

Matt Ryan's performance was excellent this episode.
Also, Charlie finally gets something important to do.

IMO, this was the best non-Crisis episode so far this season. Originally Posted by Anarchist

I doubt "The Killer" had a huge budget (they must have spent half on squibs alone) ... but then again, I doubt the Hong Kong studios had the same regulations, unions and payscales that an american tv show would have to contend with. Originally Posted by Kirby101

But yes, it was nice to see Kahn with the toothpick in his mouth, the two-gun shootups and of course the up-close 3-way mexican standoff. Were there also slo-mo doves or did I miss that?
