Winner of eight Hong Kong Film Awards including Best Film, and featuring an hour-long battle sequence unlike anything attempted before, it's a pivotal action epic that's being hailed as "a satisfying mix of politics, personal sacrifice and death-or-glory combat" (Richard Kuipers, Variety).Bonus Content:Five Behind-the-Scenes FeaturettesExtended Interviews with Cast and CrewInternational TrailerExclusive QR Code for Additional Bonus Materials]]> ## Product Details - **Genre:** Action & Adventure/Martial Arts - **Format:** NTSC, Multiple Formats, Dubbed, Color, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Teddy Chan, Junli Guo, Donnie Yen, Tony Ka-Fai Leung, Qin Tiannan, Xueqi Wang, Jianxin Huang, Joyce Chan, Peter Ho-Sun Chan, Leon Lai, Nicholas Tse, Jojo Hui - **Language:** Cantonese - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 19 minutes ## Images ![Bodyguards and Assassins [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XSn6Xa+YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ won't disappoint *by R***E on April 27, 2013* Bodyguards and Assassins, despite having a bit of a wonky name, is a stunning picture. An all-star cast brings to life the story of revolutionaries and imperialists planning for the brief return to Hong Kong of an exile from Japan who, in one hour, is going to set in motion the wheels of an all out rebellion on mainland China.The first half of the movie is a pure drama, introducing a lot of characters and fully fleshing out their motivations and relationships with each other. The story of the movie is not especially meaty, but by turning it into such a character piece it more than makes up for it. It was completely involving and a joy to watch.Near the end of the first half of the movie, my adrenaline was already up for the second half. The pace was perfect, and it built up wonderfully to what I thought was the film's climax.Instead, it turned out that it wasn't the climax, but that the entire second of the movie is brutally action packed. Having become successfully invested in the characters during the first half, this was some truly gripping stuff. The action direction is top-notch as well, absolutely pulse-pounding.For a solid period epic, Bodyguards and Assassins certainly stands out as a great film that fans will appreciate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must See Film *by K***N on August 27, 2014* Bias Alert!!! I am a die hard martial arts fan with over 300 in my personal collection. Adding to that bias is my fondness for Donnie Yen and my great desire to see action films. But the reason this reaches the level of 5 stars is because the storyline and the acting are both exceptional. This is the story of the revolutionary movement of 1905 in Hong Kong, China. I really like the way in which the director shows how this revolt touches the lives of different families both rich and poor. But if you know anything about my reviews. I am an action film specialist and the fight scenes in this film are extremely good and that is because there are several top notched fighters in this film. And although hand to hand is my first love in martial arts films. The action sequences in this film go well beyond that with arrows, knives, explosions, swords and more. Another thing that makes the action sequences so good is that the audience will truly believe that these people are willing to die for this cause. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An serious and important film! *by R***D on March 30, 2013* When I first saw the trailer, I thought that this was just another martial arts movie with gimmicky stunts and wire work. But when I watched the movie, it did not appear like a martial arts movie at all. It felt like a serious historical drama on the tumultuous period of China when the Empress Dowager Xixi was trying to hold on to power and Sun Yat-Sen was trying to bring about a popular revolution. The martial arts sequences were just an added bonus. The many characters actually had depth to them. And while Donnie Yen was only a minor character, his fight sequence with the Mixed Martial Arts champion of the US was nothing short of tremendous. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4544788-bodyguards-and-assassins-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4544788-bodyguards-and-assassins-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
